Initiate We

I keep the music loud
to drown out the screams
of a higher self
been put on a
higher shelf

Cuz I don't know how to bleed
for them, yet again
don't know how to scheme
in the weeds;
their own little
playpen

I only know how to dance with the pixies
and kiss the fairies
with delight
as I pretend
not to posses an ounce
of fright

as I yet again... am forced
to look away
as little girls are fed
to the men
who pretend
again and again
they're simply there
​to defend
them

You see, I just can't take
this ugly world
no more
not when other realms
whisper my name 
so sweet

like a treat offered 
a little girl
forever denied...
like I simply wouldn't
mind

So I ran with the wolves
and stole to eat
and then I prayed to their god
as they sacrificed
me

All... just so an indifferent world
could initiate me

initiate me into the sea 
of what used to
be

With all them lies, and all that hate
and all that garbage 
y'all kept callin'
Fate

Initiate me...

Hell nah...
we gonna
initiate 
we.
