Wild Me

They'll tell you to slow down They'll teach you to smile and nod your head That's a dangerous road, my friends Nice girls are as good as dead They just want a minute of your time Just wanna steal your life Take what they want and throw the rest aside Isn't that right? Yeah! I'm working on chewing through Domestication to find my selfish truth Separating the chaff from seed And while the whole wide world's asleep I'll be... Unraveling the truth Howling at the moon Sharpening my teeth Digging up the wild me We must recognize where we have failed each other And reach together toward making this a more just world We need healthcare and education Not racist, sexist, classist, or homophobic policies As Audre Lorde once said, "I am not free while any woman is unfree Even when her shackles are very different from my own" We will not back down We must refuse to stay silent I'm walkin' on two legs But I'm an animal, fight and hunt and bleed Dual nature, I've got two heads Manicured fingers and bones inside my bed Unraveling the truth Howling at the moon Sharpening my teeth I'm digging up the wild... Digging up the wild... Digging up the wild me
