Unstoppable 03:36

I'm tired of watching, waiting Wondering but never changing Not making progress, going backwards Conscious that I'm aging Look in the mirror and I see her See who she's become Looking for freedom, staring skywards Chasing down the sun And when she arrives Will I recognise her, recognise her Look in her eyes and see Why wait to become A person who's working Not broken but moved on From doubting and hurting Lay that foundation And build anticipation I'll see you on the other side Become unstoppable I'm writing stories in my head About my future actions Imposter syndrome has no meaning It's just a distraction Build a thick skin that makes me think I am invincible No longer reeling, break glass ceilings Be unstoppable And when I arrive Yeah I'll recognise her Recognise her Look in her eyes and see Why wait to become A person who's working Not broken but moved on From doubting and hurting Lay that foundation And build anticipation I'll see you on the other side Become unstoppable I'm tired of watching, waiting Wondering but never changing Not making progress, going backwards Conscious that I'm aging I'm tired of watching, waiting Wondering but never changing Not making progress, going backwards Conscious that I'm aging I'm tired of watching, waiting Wondering but never changing No longer reeling, break glass ceilings Be unstoppable Why wait to become A person who's working Not broken but moved on From doubting and hurting Lay that foundation And build anticipation I'll see you on the other side You'll be unstoppable No longer reeling, break glass ceilings Be unstoppable

You said that she was charming You told her that she was far more mature than her age She didn't find it alarming Guys like you always know just what to say In fact she found it exciting Older men have some kind of allure She couldn't see it was frightening You kept coming back, playing with her more and more Why don't you stop preying on girls half your age Your power trip's a sign you're a prick She's just sixteen, struggling with self-esteem You play your game and she takes all the blame Why don't you stop preying on girls half your age She thought that you knew better That this was just part of mature relationships You said that you were together But keep it a secret, it's more fun when no one knows it You told her this was normal Keep it chill, let's not over do it Why not keep things informal You only picked on girls who could never see through it Why don't you stop preying on girls half your age Your power trip's a sign you're a prick She's just sixteen, struggling with self-esteem You play your game and she takes all the blame Why don't you stop preying on girls half your age You toe the line but you know it's not fine Age of consent doesn't mean there's no consequence It's all very well when she's too afraid to tell She knows she'll get in trouble for dating a man twice her age Your power trip's a sign you're a prick She's just sixteen, struggling with self-esteem You play your game and she takes all the blame Why don't you stop preying on girls half your age It makes her sick thinking of the signs she missed She was sixteen, makes her wanna scream You played your game and she lives with the shame And you're still the loser preying on girls half your age

Sliding into my DMs Open with your music's great Do you have a boyfriend Then I know You didn't listen to any at all Tell me you have contacts in The industry looking for my sort of thing And if I'm bored Can I give you a call What you say it sounds great How can I know if you're a fake If I say my boyfriend Will this conversation end You see I'm not out to date but If I say this will I lose my chance I wish they would treat me like a person Instead of going straight to romantic candidate How do I try and make things work when Each time I try to connect they might be thinking about sex How am I meant to thrive just as much as a guy If I'm questioning the motive behind every hi Why don't you treat me like a person Instead of your future prize Telling me how to play guitar And if I take your advice then I'll really go far How nice it must be To have you looking out for me There's a spot to play at your local bar But will I have to keep an eye on where your hands are It's a trade off Take a risk for opportunity What you say it sounds great How can I know that you'll be safe If I was a man this would be easier to plan You see I'm not out to date but If I say this will I lose my chance I wish they would treat me like a person Instead of going straight to romantic candidate How do I try and make things work when Each time I try to connect they might be thinking about sex How am I meant to thrive just as much as a guy If I'm questioning the motive behind every hi Why don't you treat me like a person Instead of your future prize How am I meant to thrive just as much as a guy If I'm questioning the motive behind every hi And if I say no that might be it Goodbye I wish they would treat me like a person Instead of going straight to romantic candidate I wish they would treat me like a person Instead of going straight to romantic candidate How do I try and make things work when Each time I try to connect they might be thinking about sex How am I meant to thrive just as much as a guy If I'm questioning the motive behind every hi Why don't you treat me like a person Instead of your future prize I'm not your future prize I'm nobody's prize

What Do We Have To Do 03:21

She was uncomfortable She'd been waiting all year to see the band play their show She had squeezed to the front She had no idea the man behind her was on the hunt When the band played their new song The one she'd been preparing so she could sing along She felt his hand on her back Just one small movement can cause a panic attack He said that she was pretty So romantic when he's shouting it in her ear He could show her the city He thinks he's on a date while she's frozen in fear What do we have to do We just wanna take up space without feeling unsafe We always lose There's just so much advice, we're never doing it right Never drink, tell a friend Don't walk alone, don't talk to men It doesn't matter in the end What do we have to do To live like you She was sat on the bus The last thing that she wanted was to make a fuss He leaned across, snatched her book The things a man will do just to make a girl look She said no, she's okay He kept on pressing her until she said she was gay He said cool, thinks she's still hot Has she ever thought of maybe giving a guy a shot She got off two stops early At least walking's not too bad at this time of year She's mad she's turning thirty But still a man like that can make her freeze in fear What do we have to do We just wanna take up space without feeling unsafe We always lose There's just so much advice, we're never doing it right Never drink, tell a friend Don't walk alone, don't talk to men It doesn't matter in the end What do we have to do To live like you I can't say I'm not scared sometimes It's hard to fight it when bad news is all that you hear But I won't let myself be confined We'll show them that we can't be controlled by fear What do we have to do We just wanna take up space without feeling unsafe We always lose There's just so much advice, we're never doing it right Never drink, tell a friend Don't walk alone, don't talk to men It doesn't matter in the end What do we have to do To live like you
