lyrics

I’m singing pretty folk songs in a room full of punks
Apparently my choir-trained voice isn’t subversive enough
I’ve got a couple of ear piercings but zero tattoos
I didn’t know I had to reproduce the aesthetics
I thought it was about the DIY-ethics

I’m not entitled to your compassion but you’re not entitled to my respect
I’m learning to know my limits, I’m learning to take a rest
I don’t need your pity
I don’t need your charity
I keep running away from my problems
And you trying to fix them is my biggest one

So stop sending me those texts
You’re not entitled to my respect
Actually we don’t owe each other anything
If we just stop talking
We can act like we were nothing

How about that?
If it’s not mutual
It’s coercive
Have you heard of
VOLUNTARY ASSOCIATION

I’ll burn our bridges
I wanna see them explode
You’ve hurt me in ways
That you’ll never know

I wanna heal
I wanna feel
again
Like I can be myself
And trust the people I love
And sing my pretty folk songs in a room full of punks
And not care if I’m fitting their standards of what’s subversive enough
