Life in Motion
You're an absolute menace
Who taught you to break hearts like that?
Who put a young man from the backstreets of a city in the 1940s into your body?
Not a care in the world, it's brash confidence, you love hard hit hard
All or nothing
It's who you are.
Young woman.
Braids and a baseball cap
Complexes piling up behind your eyes
You wear fake smiles like they're going out of style
Smile real ones at the people you'll grow up to hurt the most
Who taught you how to use your womanhood as a weapon?
Maybe nobody,
Maybe nobody.
Maybe you taught yourself. Dumb lucky teenager, scrappy as hell and ****** to boot
Sins on your shoulders, a good heart.
You're a menace, a freak
It's unbelievable, truly,
It's obscene, really
They worship the ground you walk on and you go home and cry in the closet.
