lyrics

Siren, message bearer
When they call her name the crowd turns sour
They’re counting on her failure
But she stands and says her piece in all her power

With her words still heavy in the air
I see her chin lift and a cold, hard stare
The curtain closes and leaves her there

Retching in the wings
Doubled over crying
Hollowed out adrenaline
Leaves her body shook
But that’s the cost of living
When you are a woman
Who has something
That she must say

Me too, I’ve got bad news
But they told me anger’s only for the righteous
They say, ‘Ladies should be subdued’
But I don’t know how much longer I can fight this

Truth becomes the bow that draws me in
Turns my tongue into the arrow flint
I let it fly but the kickback wins

Retching in the wings
Doubled over crying
Hollowed out adrenaline
Leaves my body shook
But that’s the cost of living
When you are a woman
Who has something
That she must say
