sharptooth

they call me reckless

but then they call on me to speak

ask why i'm breathless

while their hands are choking me

rip me apart

my dear

for daring to express;

i've seen good women immolate for less

we are the warriors

and honesty's the crown to which we're sworn

call me your enemy

impale myself upon a loving sword

i speak my truth

and that's the only thing i need

kiss me goodbye

i'll die for my beliefs

make me a martyr

baby

burn me from my feet

already felt that fire

from when they had branded me

no one was saved

and i won't make it home alive

us bitches

yeah

we all get crucified

we are the warriors

and honesty's the crown to which we're sworn

call me your enemy

impale myself upon a loving sword

i live my truth

and that's the only thing i need

kiss me goodbye

i'll die for my beliefs

make me a martyr

burn me alive

make me a martyr

still i'll be crucified
