I Promise Lyrics by Putrid Shark

#2

0

Where your fathers walked
And your mothers crawled
I could fly above but I will choose to walk
Because I am a fucking coward who cannot talk
I know they’re dicks
But I cannot fix
The pain you’ve felt or the head it’s hurt
So I will try to breathe and wear a longer shirt
I was never here
So do not fear
I’ll be perfect I swear
You can walk away
Come back some other day
And your partner will still be here
I’ll be good
I promise
It’s always “her”
Never “him” or “thеm”
We’re not human and we nеver were
We are just a source of pain and hurt
Shit what’s that?
Uh, “men are trash”
There I said it, so will you take me now?
You’re so progressive go and take a bow
He was never here
So do not fear
I’ll be perfect I swear
You can walk away
Come back some other day
And your role model will still be here
I’ll be good
I promise
I worry
That I’m making a mistake
That I’m trying to both have and eat my cake
Yeah it’s hard
When everyone sees you as a threat
And when their trust you have to get
After they took that liar’s side
Because she’s a girl
And I’m not
And I never will be
Not a dot
Of an iota
Of femininity in here
How am I supposed to see myself if no one else does?
