lyrics

She was born,
Hell bent,
Heavy footed, loud mouthed without an ounce of give.
A poster child for post pubescent teenage tropes.
Caught up in a landslide of zero fucks and fewer hopes.

Step wrong catch,
A fist.
She learned quick, strength and power are different tricks.
So she trains, she trains for everything.
The first is the con that no, doesn’t mean what it always means.

“Eyes down, dress right” he said.
“Outside’s not safe at night.”
She laughed, why speak?
He’s proved he can’t understand.
Nowhere’s truly safe.
Not school, not work, not bars, not church, not home,
Not even her own fucking bed.
She’s 1 of 6 and 8 of 10.
1 of 6 and 8 of 10.

She said, “That’s it!
I am fucking done!
I don’t know when I learned it,
But I can’t sit here and hold my tongue.

You claim to know how the world works,
That I need your rules, your clothes, your guns.
But the numbers forced up on me tell me
You have no idea what's going on.”

The numbers forced up on her tell her that
you have no idea what is going on.

She’s 1 of 6 and 8 of 10, 1 of 6 and 8 of 10
Until you demand more, Until you demand more.

She’s 1 of 6 and 8 of 10, 1of 6 and 8 of 10
Until you demand more, (FROM YOURSELF)!
Until you demand more, (FROM YOUR FRIENDS)!
