“I used to know the name of every person I kissed”
now comes with such a bitter taste to it
maybe you better asked for their age
if that’s what you call an apology
I‘m just glad you didn’t get away
you’ve seen more spine in jellyfish
but we‘ve all seen you groom underage kids
separate the art from the artist
doesn’t work this way
this is just a punch
in every victim’s face
just look at all these left wing places
full of friends that “would never do these things”
this is nothing but pathetic
how hard can it be
to take responsibility
for your own actions?
no one is expecting perfection
we all got so much left to learn
self-reflection, listening to others
can sometimes be uncomfortable, I know
I promise I will be so proud of you
how can we change for the better?
if this music is a boys club scene
it is time to change visibility
conformity through tradition
exploit me, everyone is doing it
like a silent agreement
used to customs
used to doing like your father did
I was raised thinking
I was supposed to look up to these men
never the lead, always a fan
deemed to see and never be seen
these lies over your truth
you know who wins eventually
you could be tens
you could be hundreds
but you still got nothing
you still feel like nothing
