Silent Film Star Lyrics by Maddy Hicks

Reclaiming

2021

Always wanted to be on the screen
That black and white was everything
Be the woman women want to be
You said that could be me
Now I live the dream I had back then
You roll the film, I play pretend
And if I never speak a word again
Who cares?
Cause I'm just a silent film star
When the camera's on me, I play the part
You go ahead and hypnotize me, advertise me
Villainize me, I'm just a silent film star
Smile, girl
Quiet, girl
When the cameras start to roll again
I hold the pose, you hold the pen
But I'm starting to feel lesser than
You and your leading men
Doesn't matter how I move my lips
You're taking lines out of my script
And the more I'm catching onto this
I see...
You made me a silent film star
All of the guys have speaking parts
I see the way you've hypnotized me, advertised me
Villainized me, made me a silent film star
Smile, girl
Quiet, girl
I'm taking my voice back, my thoughts back
My choice back, taking every shot that I
Need to til I break through
This ceiling that you've made
I'll be the writer, the director
I'll fight til you respect the fact that
I have so much more to say
Get out the way
I'm not a silent film star
I am human with a heart
I'll never let you hypnotize me, advertise me
Villainize me, I'm not a silent film star
Don't tell me to
Smile, girl
Quiet, girl
I'm not a silent film star, no
No
Don't tell me to
Smile, girl
Quiet, girl
