Lighting up the night sky Calling on the moonlight Shedding all our insides Calling on the moonlight It's tides Rule my life To bleed is to grieve All the times we were shut down To bleed is to shed The men that call themselves Dictator Father Patriarchal Master Dictator Father Patriarchal Master Dictator Father Patriarchal Master Dictator Father Patriarchal Master Stronger than a tidal wave Soft enough to offer life Bold enough to flood your mind Drawing all the water from your eyes It's tides Rule my life To bleed is to grieve All the times we were shut down To bleed is to shed The men that call themselves Dictator Father Patriarchal Master Dictator Father Patriarchal Master Dictator Father Patriarchal Master Dictator Father Patriarchal Master You will Bleed for seven years You'll shed some tears But you will not fear The men That call themselves Master of your soul Dictator Father Patriarchal Master Dictator Father Patriarchal Master Dictator Father Patriarchal Master Dictator Father Patriarchal Master Dictator Father Patriarchal Master Dictator Father Patriarchal Master Dictator Father Patriarchal Master Dictator Father Patriarchal Master

PRAY // OBEY 04:45
Born into a world of fury and war She wishes for more Hiding her face to the truth that she feels Under her blankets she keeps eyes unsealed And the men in her life Hold her to a knife Keep quiet pray and obey is the way She woke up everyday Beauty does not come from opinions It comes from holding your tongue when your questioned and hung out To dry in your fathers eyes Who's the critic Who's the master Judge, jury, executioner Fear among all They can't take no more Thoughtless words and countless lies Criticise, penalise their every single move Who's the critic Who's the master Judge, jury, executioner Eyes with no soul she can't take it no more They stare from the halls Lips are sewn shut she's been muzzled and cut Off from the world down these halls she's been hurled But the sight of her sisters eyes lets out a silent cry Class is dismissed when she's holding a fist She steps out of line Cracking the locker to her secret life Tumbling books they fall one at a time And the burn of all their eyes in the back of her mind Who's the critic Who's the master Judge, jury, executioner Fear among all They can't take no more Thoughtless words and countless lies Criticise, penalise their every single move Who's the critic Who's the master Judge, jury, executioner Fear is the mind killer, fear is the trap Without fear in their hearts, there's no power in your hands Fear is the mind killer, fear is the trap Without fear in their hearts, there's no power in your hands Fear is the mind killer, fear is the trap Without fear in their hearts, there's no power in your hands Fear is the mind killer, fear is the trap Without fear in their hearts, there's no power in your hands Who's the critic Who's the master Judge, jury, executioner Fear among all They can't take no more Thoughtless words and countless lies Criticise, penalise their every single move Who's the critic Who's the master Judge, jury, executioner Who's the critic Who's the master Who's the critic Who's the master Judge, jury, executioner

The amnesia of history conceals the view Complaints only lodged when it's right for you Statements by martyrs so common place Nothing like a keyboard and a head full of angst Standing by while this world burns It seems to me that no ones learnt I should be good, do what I'm told Yet every word's still bought and sold It don't mean a thing to me When everyone's got to find their niche Yours was money, yours was lies Everyone's got to thrive Women fighting to keep their rights in Roe This is the world we sow This is the world we know Leaders lie and sweeten you for a vote This is the world we sow This is the world we know Out of touch our eyes don't leave our phones This is the world we sow This is the world we know Corporations bribe their way to the throne This is the world we sow This is the world we know Thrown into a pious privilege Guarded by some inviolable form So haughtily holistic that altruism Is just so easy to spawn Standing by while this world burns It seems to me that no ones learnt I should be good, do what I'm told Yet every words still bought and sold It don't mean a thing to me When everyone's got to find their niche Mine was purpose, mine was drive Everyone's got to thrive Women fighting to keep their rights in Roe This is the world we sow This is the world we know Leaders lie and sweeten you for a vote This is the world we sow This is the world we know Out of touch our eyes don't leave our phones This is the world we sow This is the world we know Corporations bribe their way to the throne This is the world we sow This is the world we know Freedom for the free, with the price of privacy Surrender your belongings, surrender your purpose Have you ever found it strange When people feel the need to complain About money, cars, sports and drugs I've just had enough Women fighting to keep their rights in Roe This is the world we sow This is the world we know Leaders lie and sweeten you for a vote This is the world we sow This is the world we know Out of touch our eyes don't leave our phones This is the world we sow This is the world we know Corporations bribe their way to the throne This is the world we sow This is the world we know Hey Hey Hey Hey Hey Hey Hey Hey Hey Hey Hey Hey

Atom Bomb 03:38
It's been years It's been years since I have seen your face And your mother Is coming through your eyes I spent a while I spent a while Thinking of your face You've been treated so badly got to get out of this place It's so toxic Her hands around your neck She won't let go She'll just tighten up her grip You've blown up like an atom bomb Blown up like an atom bomb And you don't have a place to hide You've blown up like an atom bomb Blown up like an atom bomb And you don't even know why Blown up atom bomb One victim at a time You can't keep up with yourself You're out of your mind You've blown up like an atom bomb Blown up like an atom bomb And I didn't say goodbye I confess I confess that I avoided you But I couldn't take on your darkest secrets I didn't know how I didn't know how To help you in this case You've been treated so badly got to get out of this place It's so toxic His hands around your neck He won't let go He'll just hold until your limp You've blown up like an atom bomb Blown up like an atom bomb And you don't have a place to hide You've blown up like an atom bomb Blown up like an atom bomb And you don't even know why Blown up atom bomb One victim at a time You can't keep up with yourself You're out of your mind You've blown up like an atom bomb Blown up like an atom bomb And I didn't say goodbye I didn't say goodbye I didn't say goodbye You do not deserve this You do not deserve this It's a crime You do not deserve this It's a crime You've blown up like an atom bomb Blown up like an atom bomb And you don't have a place to hide You've blown up like an atom bomb Blown up like an atom bomb And you don't even know why You've blown up like an atom bomb And I didn't say I didn't say Goodbye

You can be afraid of their prying eyes But don't you dare show an inch of shame You can be cruel to parts of you But don't you dare give it all away Your judgement is the last thing that'll define me Because I wouldn't change a thing about my smile Wasting so much time being perfect Now I wonder was it all worth it I hid the truth behind clothed doors I'm now loving the way it changes Just letting myself be blameless Still I hide the truth behind clothed doors You can find truth in your own nature But don't you become one of them You are beautiful in your own way But not in the way they want you Your judgement is the last thing that'll define me Because I wouldn't change a thing about my smile Wasting so much time being perfect Now I wonder was it all worth it I hid the truth behind clothed doors I'm now loving the way it changes Just letting myself be blameless Still I hide the truth behind clothed doors To tell you the truth I'm not looking for your opinion To tell you the truth I'm just looking for something real Wasting so much time being perfect Now I wonder was it all worth it I hid the truth behind clothed doors I'm now loving the way it changes Just letting myself be blameless Still I hide the truth behind clothed doors Wasting so much time being perfect Now I wonder was it all worth it I hid the truth behind clothed doors I'm now loving the way it changes Just letting myself be blameless Still I hide the truth behind clothed doors

His gaze left a scar on The back of my eyelids, I can't Sleep when I'm awake, guess I'll Sleep when I'm dying, I wanted To be a mother one day But not when I have to obey Child your eyes remind of His dark, determined, deathly What did he What did he want from me To break me and just walk away free I'm washing Washing him off my skin I'm undoing the war against women Lay, lay down Your power and your praise Say, say now The things you couldn't say There's no sacrifice greater than your mothers pain Hey child Can you hear She's still Calling your name Calling your name Calling your name Hush don't you cry my darling We can live through all our mistakes They said I brought it on myself I had no one else left to blame I wanted to be free to Exercise my autonomy But we live in a world where Guns have more rights than bodies What did he What did he want from me To break me and just walk away free I'm washing Washing him off my skin I'm undoing the war against women Lay, lay down Your power and your praise Say, say now The things you couldn't say There's no sacrifice greater than your mothers pain Hey child Can you hear She's still Calling your name Calling your name Calling your name He tried to Tried to break me He dared to Dared to forsake me He tried to Tried to break me He dared to Dared to forsake me Lay down Your power and your praise Say, say now The things you couldn't say There's no sacrifice greater than your mothers pain Hey child Can you hear She's still Calling your name Calling your name Calling your name Calling your name
