Supported. Talented. Efficacious. Masculine.
Supported. Talented. Efficacious. Masculine.
I don't understand, but I know I could if you'd just lend me a hand
You say I wouldn't, and I feel myself sewn up
How can I prove myself if your mind's already made up
So I learn to sew, I sew myself up on my own
Finding myself stuck. How can I escape the rut
Cause I need to just know, if I don't I'm run off the road
There's no space to catch up, no one to help you get up
If I'm not there, no one really seems to care
I'll say I'm fine, just another asset you're leaving behind
"You're smart, go into STEM." The choice is easy for men
Confidence is hoarded, knowing they will be supported
And women are outskirted until they just give up
Voices ripped away from cords once confident
And if I'm wrong, you'll make sure I know I don't belong
Cause I need to just know, if I don't I'm run off the road
There's no space to catch up, no one to help you get up
If I'm not there, no one really seems to care
I'll say I'm fine, just another asset you're leaving behind
They encourage you when you're young, until you're equal and they feel dumb
And they reflect that back on you with the cursed mirror of untruth
You're the beauty, they're the beast, normalizing docility, hostility
Valued as cheap
Cause I need to just know, if I don't I'm run off the road
There's no space to catch up, no one to help you get up
If I'm not there, no one really seems to care
I'll say I'm fine, just another asset you're leaving behind
I don't understand, but I know I could if you'd just lend me a hand
You say I wouldn't, and I feel myself sewn up
How can I prove myself if your mind's already made up
So I learn to sew, I sew myself up on my own
Finding myself stuck. How can I escape the rut
Cause I need to just know, if I don't I'm run off the road
There's no space to catch up, no one to help you get up
If I'm not there, no one really seems to care
I'll say I'm fine, just another asset you're leaving behind
"You're smart, go into STEM." The choice is easy for men
Confidence is hoarded, knowing they will be supported
And women are outskirted until they just give up
Voices ripped away from cords once confident
And if I'm wrong, you'll make sure I know I don't belong
Cause I need to just know, if I don't I'm run off the road
There's no space to catch up, no one to help you get up
If I'm not there, no one really seems to care
I'll say I'm fine, just another asset you're leaving behind
They encourage you when you're young, until you're equal and they feel dumb
And they reflect that back on you with the cursed mirror of untruth
You're the beauty, they're the beast, normalizing docility, hostility
Valued as cheap
Cause I need to just know, if I don't I'm run off the road
There's no space to catch up, no one to help you get up
If I'm not there, no one really seems to care
I'll say I'm fine, just another asset you're leaving behind
