Track Name: Out of the Kitchen
Take the heat or get out...
Hold your own
Becomes a little more convoluted when there is such a clear divide
Muscle mass defines involvement
Aggressive boys' club
Stuck on the sidelines
Aggressive boys' club
You speak in body language
And I've got the message loud and clear
Muscle mass defines involvement
Aggressive boys' club
Stuck on the sidelines
Aggressive boys' club
Pushed behind speakers
Aggressive boys' club
Take the heat or...
Aggressive boys' club
Track Name: Tally
I try to phoneticize marginalized for you
While you make a pissing contest out of abuse
Sit and tally some score
And pick yourself as the winner
It doesn't work that way
Track Name: Get Rad-ified
University activists brush off ideas of inclusiveness
And create hierarchies
No longer welcome in your club, "No one needs to be that extreme"
Your attitudes get nothing done
Hard answers for hard times
Count me out
Track Name: Anatomy
So much I want to say
Anxious to unpack all the (self)hatred and guilt
Heartbroken girl...
But it's not as simple as that...
It's a lifetime of damage and conditioning
Rearing its ugly head
If I killed myself tomorrow...
They'd chalk it up to this
Track Name: Double Life
A confusing dichotomy in the jobs I work
How do gender roles factor in when you are a pretend mom and a faux wife?
"Do you feel empowered? Do you feel fulfilled?"
Are the questions I hear
How do I reconcile?
Presumed that co-workers from one job were clients from another once
I don't look in the eyes of a neglected child and a middle-aged sex worker
And see the same person
It's not the same old story
It's just a job
Close your eyes
Take a breath, release
Track Name: Fifteen
No way to live
Troubled teen taken to a whole new level
You had problems? Low self-esteem?
Wonder why she's cutting?
Fall from grace;
What the fuck does that mean?
Destroy the body, to match the mind
"I'm dying. I can't keep living like this."
Track Name: Native American Apparel
Racist fashion trends straight from native-American Apparel
Dov Charney: misogynist? Genius!
Should have know racial stereotypes were the new black
What's next?
Track Name: Tied Down
Jealousy and insecurities
Do not warrant this disrespect for my boundaries
I don't want to be your "everything"
'Pure gold baby;' That's unhealthy
Possessive
Caged bird? Fuck that
I won't be tied down
Track Name: Anxiety
Anxiety stricken
And coffee-fueled, my stomach sinks
And I wonder why I'm here
Periodic stress for higher learning
Nose in the books, hand in the cookie jar
