Internalised

Not sure who I am
Know who I’m meant to be
Which story today
It’s getting harder to breathe
Long hair, flowing dress
Am I the woman society wants me to be?
Is the threat real
Or is it in my head?
I wish I could read their minds
Come clean
I’ll set me free
Is it all internalised?
Girlfriend
A word I can’t get off my tongue
Can I call you my friend
What does it matter anyway?
Drop your hand
Look the other way
Too many years of hiding in the shade
Wrapped in shame
Is the threat real
Or is it in my head?
I wish I could read their minds
Come clean
I’ll set me free
Is it all internalised?
I want to leave my head
Tear down the walls
Hold your hand in mine
Out in the light
And for the first time in my life
I’m proud to call you mine
For the first time in my life
I’m proud to call you mine
To call you, to call you mine
To call you, to call you mine
(I feel the shame melt away
I feel the shame melt away)
To call you, to call you mine
To call you, to call you mine
(I feel the shame melt away
I feel the shame melt away)
I feel the shame melt away
(Hold me close)
I feel the shame melt away

Lights out
Under a veil of darkness
Haze of alcohol
Feel your eyes
Following me
My senses stir
I’m the prey
You’re the hunter
Anonymous
Not responsible
No doesn’t mean convince me
I said no, doesn’t mean convince me
No doesn’t mean convince me
I said no, doesn’t mean convince me
I’m done
With feeling like a piece of meat
I’m human too
It’s time
This normalised behaviour
Is put to sleep
I’m a person
You’re a predator
Identified
Held responsible
No doesn’t mean convince me
I said no, doesn’t mean convince me
No doesn’t mean convince me
I said no, doesn’t mean convince me
Sexualised then demonised when we don't reciprocate
Sexualised then demonised when we don't
(I know my mind)
Sexualised then demonised when we don't reciprocate
(I know my mind and I won’t play)
Sexualised then demonised when we don't
I know my mind
I know my mind and I won’t play
I know my mind
I know my mind and I won’t play
How many times do I have to tell you to leave me alone?
Didn’t you hear me the first time?
I said no

Exotica

I am a bird of paradise
From an alien land
Always reminded I don’t belong
When I was a girl I was taught to believe
I needed to bathe in bleach
To become the kind of woman you’d adore
Oh how I see me has changed as I’ve grown
Oh how I see me has changed
I am not exotica
I am not exotica
I am a person, with autonomy
Reduced to a fantasy
Bending to your will, in your mind, dehumanised
Oh how I see you has changed as I’ve grown
Oh how I see you has changed
I am not exotica
I am not exotica
I am not exotica
I am not exotica
I want to be beautiful on my own terms
I want to be human and loved the same (humanise me)
See me, see me for all that I am
See me, see me for all that I am
See me, see me for all that I am
See me, see me for all that I am
I am not exotica
I am not exotica
I am not exotica
I am not exotica

We Are The Enemy

I look into your eyes
I couldn’t hurt you
Now I understand
The lies we’re sold
My rage runs deeper
How have we justified their pain?
It’s not to feed the billions
When there’s money to gain
How can someone hold a life in their hands
And callously take it away?
We are the enemy
We are the enemy
We are the enemy
We are the enemy
Dinner’s on the table
She never felt the wind on her skin
Savour the flavour
Of fear and pain
This isn’t humane
What makes Luna different?
Intelligence? Circumstance?
She tastes so good
I’m still asking
How can someone hold a life in their hands
And take it away?
We are the enemy
We are the enemy
We are the enemy
We are the enemy
Nearly fifty billion animals are factory farmed every year around the world
The majority of these animals never get to express natural behaviours
Routinely mutilated, crammed in, the priority is profit
We are the enemy
We are the enemy
We are the enemy
We are the enemy

Flux

Windswept walks on the beach
Salty sea spray hits my face
Walking alone is not the same
I think of you so far away
You said don't worry
A year will fly by
But the cold bitter winter
Makes the weeks feel like forever
We’re in a state of flux
Will we pick up where we left off?
Love is like a river
Its currents can guide you
Or take you in and break your bones
Outta sight, outta mind
I guess that we weren’t right
Space and time made me realise
This river has run dry
Now you're here, we should be great
But we've both changed
Conversations are stilted
The way we feel has shifted
We don't touch anymore
So much to say but we don't say it
Icicle smiles
Strangeness of strangers
We’re in a state of flux
Couldn’t pick up where we left off
Love is like a river
Its currents can guide you
Or take you in and break your bones
Outta sight, outta mind
I guess that we weren’t right
Space and time made me realise
This river has run dry
Our hands relax
We could only hold on for so long
The idea of our love just wasn't enough
And I’m already gone
But I wish the best for you
Love is like a river
Its currents can guide you
Or take you in and break your bones
Outta sight, outta mind
I guess that we weren’t right
Space and time made me realise
This river has run dry
