lyrics

Calls from across the street
Bright eyes, wolf teeth
I’m afraid of where my friends sleep
And who they’re waking up with

Stories from the T.V. screen
Taste blood between my teeth
Another girlfriend beat
To show her just how much she means

I’ll put on a skirt
You’ll cut your hair short
Pretend we can escape
The roles we’ve played since birth

But I respond to each offense
Fists raised forehead drenched
Pretend that this is not the same
Break, bend, and dominate

A violent response
To gendered violence
I want an alternative
A better way to defend

And we’ll sweat in the back of your car
Cursing each other to feel empowered
The way that we’ve been told
This is how two broken halves become a whole
