Break Down Roles

from Beating Beyond Folk Ashes by Brutus' Daughters

lyrics

WHAT HAS BEEN DONE TO THE SHAPE OF MY BODY
ALL HAS GONE WRONG SINCE IT WAS DRAWN BY OTHERS
NO CHANCE I HAD TO SPIT OVER THEIR SORRIES
FOR BEARING INSIDE WHAT THE SKIN CAN’T CONTROL IT.

THE MIRROR I LOOK AT FULL OF STARDUST
MY SOUL IS IMPRISONED SLOWLY BEING CUT DOWN
STAY AWAY FROM MY BODY

THIS IS A STAGE ON WHICH ALL ARE THE AUDIENCE
STREETS FULL OF PUPPETS WITH THREADS OF OBEDIENCE
MOULDING THE TASTE ON BEHALF OF THEIR TERROR
INSIDE A CELL THEY CALL GENDER BEHAVIOUR


WHO’S BEEN TO BLAME WHO’S GOT THE FAULT
THE TRIAL TOOK PLACE AS SOON AS I WAS BORN
IF I HAVE TO WEAR WHAT’S DESIGNED FOR A GIRL
I PREFER TO BE NAKED AND STRUGGLE UNDRESS
ALL I WANT IS TURN DOWN THE ROLES
CAUSE THE WORDS THAT DEFINE ME ARE WRITTEN WITH BLOOD
NOW IT’S THE TIME JUST TO FEEL AS I WANT
TO DRESS UP AT LAST… WHAT I REALLY AM


NOW I AM READY TO TURN DOWN YOUR OFFER
TO BREAK DOWN THE CHAINS OF THE ROLES YOU SPREAD OVER
NOW I’M THE JUDGE AND WILL TRY MY OWN ORDER
NO ONE’S INSIDE ME NOR I SET UP BORDERS

A WEAPON TO DASH , A MIRROR TO BURN, A WEAPON TO DASH
THE WAR’S BROKEN OUT ONCE YOU TOOK THEM ALL OFF

ALL I WANT IS TURN DOWN THE ROLES
CAUSE THE WORDS THAT DEFINE ME ARE WRITTEN WITH BLOOD
NOW IT’S THE TIME JUST TO FEEL AS I WANT
TO DRESS UP AT LAST… WHAT I REALLY AM

THE MIRROR I LOOK AT FULL OF STARDUST
MY SOUL IS IMPRISONED SLOWLY BEING CUT DOWN
STAY AWAY FROM MY BODY
