lyrics

why am i to blame
for all the things in which i never meant to implicate?
for all the things when in reality, i ran away

when i look around
at all the institutions that I've been
surrounding myself with are run by... _ _ _

designed to hold me down

_ _ _ ...

designed to hold me back and keep me down
designed to hold me back and keep me down
designed to hold me back and keep me down

i find it unfair
to go ahead and threaten your own life because i didn't care

now tell me when i go
to seek protection from the people who believe me are the ones who are the
womxn in my life
womxn in my life

designed to hold me back and keep me...
designed to hold me back and keep me...
designed to hold me back and keep me
down.
