For the Women Who Raised Me (Demo) Lyrics by ​samuelo

The Attic: Forever Home B-Sides, Demos, & Rarities

[Verse 1]
Growing up, watching her cover up
For the man who strips down
Every woman in this town
So then she frees from this society
And still her children say
"Be nice to that man"
[Chorus]
Ignorant or naïve
You picked a man just like your father, it seems
And both of them make me want to undo this
Wrap rosemary around as it's cooling
This volcano that's erupted
Many years ago it all had started
I respect, respect for women
Who showed me what strength is
Breaking free from a rotted chain
Do it for myself
[Verse 2]
Growing up, don't say too much
Don't ignite a snowflake
Inside his weathervane
'Cause then we'll freeze even in the south
Can't escape his hand
Can't forgive his mouth or his hands
Or the thing inside he has the nerve to call man
[Chorus]
Ignorant or naïve
You picked a man just like your father, it seems
And both of them make me want to undo this
Wrap rosemary around as it's cooling
I was taught very well, yes
Because I knew just what to never, never, never be
I respect, respect for the women who showed me
What strength is
Breaking free from a rotted chain
Do it for myself
[Bridge]
Hopeful or blinded in ribbon
And a chalice and a Sunday
That when it comes I sit still and lay
And when you knocked the vase over
You went to church and I went to solar
Gained energy from a real force
You saw some man in the reflection
Of a stained glass window
But can you see a man in the reflection
Of your children's crystal tears?
The ones you milk and force out
Every time you spew more filth
So wash away
