Waking up Medusa
03:44
|
|
||
|
Laid dormant for ages
But now she’s wide awake
A green-headed monster
With hair like snakes
She can move mountains
And turn men into stone
Defiance will rule in
The age of the crone
Don’t wake up Medusa
She’s always been patient
(But) the line has been crossed
(She’s) determined to take back
what once had been lost
A world into crumbles
Injustice had been done
(But) she’s turning the tables
And now her time has come
Don’t wake up Medusa

The Collector

I would like to tell you
I hope I don’t forget
I want to keep everything
And that’s why I collect
I want to remember
All the things I did
All the places that I’ve been
or should have paid a visit
Give me something to work with
Notebooks full of stories
Give me something to ease my mind
Keep a box of memories
I would like to write you
And leave a paper trail
(but) if I send a message, will
it get lost in the mail
I would like to freeze time
So nothing disappears
(but) sometimes I’m so scared of losing
All my memories
Give me something to work with
Notebooks full of stories
Give me something to ease my mind
Keep a box of memories
Don’t slip away
Don’t slip away
I am a collector
That’s just what I do
I treasure all the moments
That I try to hold on to
I want to reflect on
These images so frail
How can I leave a mark if
these thoughts will fade away
Give me something to work with
Notebooks full of stories
Give me something to ease my mind
Keep a box of memories
Don’t slip away
Don’t slip away
Don’t slip away
Don’t slip away

All I wished for
04:41
|
|

I’ll sit here nice and patiently
I’ll wait and try to keep the peace
I’ll fight my own anxiety
Delve into worlds of make-believe
It’s getting harder every day
I’ll practice smiling anyway
Make sure the anger won’t come out
Reduce my lonely inner shout
And all I wished for was some peace of mind
And all I wanted was to be left alone
I don’t need much, I’m not ungrateful at all
Just longing for a quiet room of my own
I’m counting up and down the days
This room should be a safer space
I’m stuck between four walls, no doors
Can’t take the thoughtless anymore
I tried to raise my voice and scream
No sound came out like in a dream
If words were ammunition
(I’d) be scared of confrontation
And all I wished for was some peace of mind
And all I wanted was to be left alone
I don’t need much, I’m not ungrateful at all
Just longing for a quiet room of my own
Oh, I wish upon a star – to protect me from afar
Oh, I wish upon a star – can you heal these mental scars
Oh, I wish upon a star – to become the calm you are
Oh, I wish upon a star – don’t keep lowering the bar
And all I wished for was some peace of mind
And all I wanted was to be left alone
I don’t need much, I’m not ungrateful at all
Just longing for a quiet room of my own

Wear what we want
03:49
|
|

So you wanna choose which clothes will fit me
Police my style and police my body
Keep insisting I’m not fem’nine enough
Not sexy, too covered, too revealing, well tough
So you gonna stare and harass me as well
No need for your opinion, I can dress myself
And then you wanna blame me for all of that shit
The comments, stares, and worse, and I’m the culprit?
We – wear what we want – wear what we want
We – wear what we want – wear what we want
(It’s not up to you to decide
I can do what I want with my life
It’s not up to you decide
I will dress however I like)
So you wanna measure the length of our skirts
Always too long and always too short
I have had enough of your racist prejudice
You think you can control my sisters’ outfits
So you wanna tell us what we can and can’t do
Restrict our freedoms for o-ur own good
No, you clearly don’t know what is best for us
So don’t be surprised if we’re makin’ a fuzz
We – wear what we want – wear what we want
We – wear what we want – wear what we want
(It’s not up to you to decide
I can do what I want with my life
It’s not up to you decide
I will dress however I like
It’s not up to you to decide
You don’t get a say, it’s my fight
It’s not up to you to decide
It’s my body and it’s my life)
Patronising bullshit
toxic expectations
fatphobic, racist, ageist
transphobic and butch-hating
We have had enough of this
of your interference
what we wear and how we look
it’s none of your – business

Sew sew

Sew Sew
Stitched up, patched up, sewn up, and ready to go
Face the world, face the facts
not going back, not to that what you call normal
I’m not normal, how are you? Are you?
I’m so so.
So
Are you still waiting, watching your clock
till everything is over and we can go home? Or leave home?
keeping the time, I was never fine
I was never, was I ever better, better than so so?
It was another time, hard to imagine now
so long ago and yet, so close
Feels like yesterday as well as a different era
because it is, and we are all different too
A different age, a different person
Can I ever go back?
I may need a time machine, or a lot of hope
So I’m sewing my way out
Sewing face masks I intend to keep
covering my breath, it feels cosy, warm, comfortable
to protect from what’s scary, cold, and life-threatening
because of a virus and those who deny it
those who live in fairytale worlds, in alternate realities
Because the real one is too hard to face?
I get that, but please still cover your face and stay away
I don’t want to breathe in your lies
Sow sow
Sowing seeds of possibilities
where once there was nothing
now there are fields and herbs and flowers and food
and communities and friends and sunshine
Sowing seeds of resistance
It was a different time when the cars were gone
and we only went outside to walk and sing
waving banners on our balconies
folding paper planes to send from windows to letter boxes
I never imagined I would miss it, those first weeks
I never imagined it could get so much worse
So keep singing, sewing banners and sowing those seeds
And taking care of you and me
And everyone around us
Stay safe
So long
Oh I didn’t know, I didn’t know
Tell me how’s it going - How’s it going – sew sew
Tell me how ya doing - How ya doing – sew sew

I didn't mean to be mean
03:54
|
|

I saw you – in the crowd
but I didn’t want to say hello
I quickly – turned around
but you followed me home
you always get – in my way
when I need some time on my own
and you don’t care – what I say
but I want to be left alone
1-2-3 is a party
4-5-6 I’m not ready
7-8 it’s polite to be late
9-10 I hope I’ll never see you –
Again again again
Yeaah yeah yeah
I didn’t mean – to be mean
and I didn’t mean to hurt you
I did my best – not to be seen
but you didn’t have a clue
I left you – in the rain
without a coat or a check
I heard you – call my name
but I’m not looking back
1-2-3 is a party
4-5-6 I’m not ready
7-8 it’s polite to be late
9-10 I hope I’ll never see you –
Never see you
Never see you
Never see you
Never see you
(why don’t you leave me alone)

Bitch Monster

I am the bitch monster from hell
And I’ve chosen you for your crimes
I am your worst nightmare come true
I’ve decided you’re mine
You didn’t know it could happen to you
but it did so yeah
You didn’t think there’d be reasons to be scared
but I guess there are
Me and my friends are gonna play a little game
And we’ve chosen you as our prize
We’re so much fun to hang around with
So you’d better play nice
You didn’t know it could happen to you
but it did so yeah
You didn’t think there’d be reasons to be scared
but I guess there are
I am the disaster they warned you for
But you chose to doubt and to ignore
You used to think you were in control
Trapped in a story you’ve heard before
You didn’t know it could happen to you
but it did so yeah
You didn’t think there’d be reasons to be scared
but I guess there are
Oh, the sun came out
when you were waiting for the rain
Oh, got the curtains drawn
when you hear us call your name
