The next track from my Debut EP is out!! I am so excited for you to finally hear this song, it means a lot to me! We've worked super hard on these so please do save to your Spotify playlists and stream them on your commute. Who doesn't need a lil feminine rage on the way to work/school right?

EDIT: Please be aware mistakes were made in the production of this song, the backing vocals are made up of a majority white cast and the proper steps to ensure it was representative of all women were not made. This was not intentional but it is evidence of my carelessness and privilege as a white women. The full apology statement can be seen here with more details - https://docs.google.com/document/d/1r...

Lyrics:

A Women with a knowing smile caught my eye
She sat there with a drink alone
The Barkeep says they call her original sin
The very first scapegoat when the trouble set in

Mother to the millions but queen to none
She sits and sips her drink unfazed
Barkeep says they'll take her away in a bit
She overstepped and now must pay for her sins

The court is gathered
Judge sits low
But round the room
The jury know
Gods not gonna help you now my girl

So save your prayers

Legions of daughters those that you fought for happily curse your name now
Drink from the cup girl and in another world history sings the same vow
Ruled by religion they speak but we listen and offer a lamb to the slaughter
Easy to lay the blame onto her alter as mother dies for daughter

Self righteousness rooted inside your home kid can't help but follow their lead
Mothers curse mothers daughters curse daughters and so the cycle repeats
Villainize victims slave to a system collecting kindling for our kin.
The fire we drop at your feet and we leave
Please don't cry for your daughters Eve

Please don't cry for your daughters Eve
Please don't cry for your daughters Eve

Just as the Barkeep said a mob came to call
And took her from her place of rest
She stood and walked herself right out of the door
A path she'd walked so many many times before

I was frozen couldn't move from my seat
You think you'd be a saviour but can't do as you preach
Eve I'm sorry you must take the fall for their shame
I'd help you but I risk taking your place

The court is gathered
Judge sits low
But round the room
The jury know
Gods not gonna help you now my girl

So save your prayers

Legions of daughters those that you fought for happily curse your name now
Drink from the cup girl and in another world history sings the same vow
Ruled by religion they speak but we listen and offer a lamb to the slaughter
Easy to lay the blame onto her alter as mother dies for daughter

Self righteousness rooted inside your home kid can't help but follow their lead
Mothers curse mothers daughters curse daughters and so the cycle repeats
Villainize victims slave to a system collecting kindling for our kin.
The fire we drop at your feet and we leave
Please don't cry for your daughters Eve

Please don't cry for your daughters Eve
Please don't cry for your daughters Eve

Mother Maiden Crone
Goddess God-less all alone
Medusa and the flesh
Punished for another's mess
So you'll take the fall
For standing just an inch too tall
When the bell doth toll
The ringing calls out for us all

Temptress siren witch
Anne she stands without a stitch
A lesson never learned
Speak too loud we'll see you burn
And your reflection seems
To look a whole lot like that Eve
When the bell doth toll
The ringing calls out for us all
The ringing calls out for us all!

Legions of daughters those that you fought for happily curse your name now
Drink from the cup girl and in another world history sings the same vow
Ruled by religion they speak but we listen and offer a lamb to the slaughter
Easy to lay the blame onto her alter as mother dies
And dies and dies and dies and dies and dies and dies and
Dies and dies and dies and dies and dies and dies and dies and dies and dies
Please don't cry for your daughters
Eve
