I wish that we could just be friends
But I'll let you do whatever
I'm not sorry
That I'm so weak
I'm not going
To let you see
Just how much
You mean to me
It's like softcore prostitution
Those gorgeous shoulders
Are just so enticing
So please stay covered
Since you need reminding
That your next 3 lovers
Are totally not to blame
For their out of control sexual brains
It's just softcore prostitution
Those clothes you wear
Are the total the problem
And we're not looking over
Some fucking rape culture
And you are fully to blame
For their out of control sexual brains
I wish that this song didn't exist
Because the world shouldn't be this way
But I'm not sorry
That I will speak
And she wouldn't stop
When it looked so bleak
And that's why she means
So much to me
It's like softcore prostitution
Those gorgeous shoulders
Are just so enticing
So please stay covered
Since you need reminding
That your next 3 lovers
Are totally not to blame
For their out of control sexual brains
It's just softcore prostitution
Those clothes you wear
Are the total the problem
And we're not looking over
Some fucking rape culture
And you are fully to blame
For their out of control sexual brains
It's like softcore prostitution
The way your dancing
Is too suggestive
Yeah, it's quite clear
That you're interested
So your next 3 lovers
Are totally not to blame
For their out of control sexual brains
It's just softcore prostitution
Those clothes you wear
Are the total the problem
And we're not looking over
Some fucking stupid ass rape culture
And you are fully to blame
For their out of control sexual brains

They preferred to use harshness
Instead of using any soft words
To battle hard instead of caress
Thirsted after blood
Instead of thirsting after kisses,
Practised the art of war
Instead of the art of love,
And they held spears in the hands
Which should have been occupied by weaving,
They did not think of marriage,
But instead they thought of death,
And attacked the men with weapons they were using,
They didn't need beauty to capture all their hearts
There was a time in the world
Where things weren't all so west
And lines weren't so clear
Not to say that its the best
But at least there was an option
And not just the 1 or 2
To think they had more choice
Well it just leaves me so confused
And they preferred the use of harshness
Instead of using any soft words
To battle hard instead of caress
Thirsted after blood
Instead of thirsting after kisses,
Practised the art of war
Instead of the art of love,
And they held spears in the hands
Which should have been occupied by weaving,
They did not think of marriage,
But instead they thought of death,
And attacked the men with weapons they were using,
They didn't need beauty to capture all their hearts
But I guess we are just so very simple
That we leave out those who do not fit
The genital dictation of our futures
Since when did the outside ever show us what's within
And they preferred the use harshness
Instead of using any soft words
To battle hard instead of caress
Thirsted after blood
Instead of thirsting after kisses,
Practised the art of war
Instead of the art of love,
And they held spears in the hands
Which should have been occupied by weaving,
They did not think of marriage,
But instead they thought of death,
And attacked the men with weapons they were using,
They didn't need beauty to capture all their hearts
"As if they forgot the traditions into which they were born,
and preferred harshness instead of soft words,
battle instead of caress,
thirsted after blood instead of kisses,
practised the art of war instead of the art of love,
and held spears in those hands which should have been occupied by weaving,
and they did not think about the marriage bed, but death,
and attacked with sharp weapons the men,
whom they could have pleased with their beauty.・

Spout out your
Created, dictated, genetics
Histories written
So that we will forget it
But when you look back
You don't see the message
Of a separate world
For builders and dressage
Half must be pink
And the rest are blue
And who made these rules
Well I have no clue
One day they were made
And somehow they stayed
And how unlucky
They would happen to you
This ain't a craze for a certain age
The fiery blaze of unequal wage
People's rights,
that's right, I'll write
Till every single future's bright
I don't care for the hits
From the twits, breaking shit
Mindless skits,
I've had enough of it
Step up your game
Cus I ain't dumbing down
I'll break the mould
And I'll take your crown
Quality equals equality?
Hell no!
Just another rumour to make us
All go
But I want it all
In fact I demand
No more dealing
Of unfair hands
This ain't a craze for a certain age
The fiery blaze of unequal wage
People's rights,
That's right, I'll write
Till every single future's bright
I don't care for the hits
From the twits, breaking shit
Mindless skits,
I've had enough of it
Step up your game
Cus I ain't dumbing down
I'll break the mould
And I'll take your crown

I created a monster
world of free, world of free
A beautiful deadly monster
its not me, its not me
1000 eyes there to stare
feel unsure, so obscured
1000 arms in the air
this is not what I wanted
this is not what I wanted
You want it!
Anarchy
You want it!
Equality
You want it!
To be free
You want it!
Sexuality
But you want it!
Not like this
But you said it!
Not like this
But you need it!
Not like this
And we'll use it!
Not like this
It's all the same as those before
You don't know what we're fighting for
You don't know what we're fighting for
Don't threaten the allure
You don't know what we're fighting for
You don't know what we're fighting for
You don't know what we're fighting for
You want it!
Anarchy
You want it!
Equality
You want it!
To be free
You want it!
Sexuality
But you want it!
Not like this
But you said it!
Not like this
But you need it!
Not like this
And we'll use it!
Not like this

I cant wait to get out
I cant wait to get out
I cant wait to get out of here
Everyone is ruining my fucking life
I cant wait to get out
I cant wait to get out
I cant wait to get out of here
I dont want what your selling
My future's not yours to choose
I'm not an academic feline
I know I'm gonna lose
This is not what I want
This is not what I want
I can't wait to get out of here
Everyone is ruining my fucking life
This is not what I want
This is not what I want
I can't wait to get out of here
I'm not yours for sale
I'm not leading you on
I won't let you see me naked
Or take advantage of when I'm drunk
(fuck you)
I cant wait to get out
I cant wait to get out
I cant wait to get out of here
Everyone is ruining my fucking life
This is not what I want
This is not what I want
I can't wait to get out of here
Hello cruel world
I'll see you in the morning

Escapism (Vocals Only)

Everything in my life has been perfect
Up until now
And its not even inexplicably wrong but
I'm left in doubt
I feel the need to escape, I just need to
Get out
Cus I'm bored of the blandness of my old town but
I can't say how
I will ever be able to leave, oh just please
I need it so much
I feel less afraid of the world of unknown
Than I am losing touch
Escapism isn't really
An explainable thing
It's not like I need something new in my life
And I don't strive to be king
It's just that it's what feels right at the time
Oh I want to be free
And I know it might not even be the right choice
But it's building in me
It's not like I have complaints on my parents
They are both purely good
And its not that my living conditions are awful
It's a fair neighbourhood
There's just something about it
I think I feel stuck
But without the finances
I think that I'm fucked
And the pressure is growing
I could do with some luck
Escapism isn't really
An explainable thing
It's not like I need something new in my life
And I don't strive to be king
It's just that it's what feels right at the time
Oh I want to be free
And I know it might not even be the right choice
But it's building in me
Escapism isn't really
An explainable thing
It's not like I need something new in my life
And I don't strive to be king
It's just that it's what feels right at the time
Oh I want to be free
And I know it might not even be the right choice
But it's building in me
