Text Me When You Get Home Lyrics

There is an ache, a rage, a fire, a hate

A fear, a panic, a constant heartbreak

Every fibre of my being has been affected

Betrayed when we should have been protected

I will tar you all with the same brush

Until the way you show up for us is enough

How many more? This feels systematic

I consider one in three an epidemic

Violence is the birthright of a patriarchal world

Proving over and over that it's not safe for women and girls

Keep our keys between our fingers when we're on our own

Text me when you get home

Power is their prerogative

and I have nothing but rage left to give

When will they consider safety mandatory?

Every day I see another headline story

Listen to these words that I spit with fury

SHE WAS NEVER FUCKING ASKING FOR IT

Violence is the birthright of a patriarchal world

Proving over and over that it's not safe for women and girls

Keep our keys between our fingers when we're on our own

Please, I need you to TEXT ME WHEN YOU GET HOME

May our mothers never have to worry

May our sisters live fearlessly

May our daughters never know this pain

May our lovers come home safely

MAY THOSE WHO COME

AFTER US BE FREE

AND MAY EVERY

PREDATOR NEVER BE

How do they sleep at night?

Hell I know I couldn't

It may not be every man but it is every fucking woman
