Unashamed

Don't you dare be ashamed
Oh please don’t stop singing
Your voice is addictive
It resonates with fearlessness
Something deep inside it touches
Flashing green eyes
A hypnotising smile
And what you want is very clear
I can’t believe you’re drawing nearer
So come on and give these lips a taste
Don’t let your passion go to waste
Girl I’m dying to see
You grinding slow in ecstacy
Yeah, submit to your primal urges
Don’t stop when the sun emerges
Come and give these lips a taste
And don’t you dare be ashamed
I’m lost in your embrace
Never to escape
You drag me out into the night
We crash through your door intertwined
And on every surface
In desire so urgent
All my wildest dreams come true
And every single one of yours too
There’s no promise that our paths
Will ever cross each other again
The distance is so far, let us not try to pretend
Now just because
We’re not in love
Should guilt we feel
For pleasure so real
We’re unashamed of our bodies
We’re unashamed of our desires
Why do they try to deny all this passion and this fire?
We’re fully grown
That gasping moan
Displays more honesty
Than their diatribe about purity...
I’m telling you...don’t you dare be ashamed

Blaming The Victim

She was passed out and unconscious but that didn’t stop them
Audience to atrocity were the ones she called friends
Any one of them could have ended it
But chose to point and laugh
So who does your heart bleed for
When these monsters feel no remorse?
But you say that she's crushed his dreams and ended his life
As you blame the victim not his revolting mind
Humiliated and broken she’ll never be same
But your hateful words are spoken for her choices, not his
How is she responsible for it?
How can you think that way?
You’re broadcasting this twisted view
That somehow assault can be excused
You blame the victim
You chide her yet not him
You take her body
And offer it to him
So if this was someone you cared for
Would you make those monsters feel remorse?
No, you protect the ones who made
The choice to prey and violate
Don’t dare claim ever to love a woman
You are a disgrace rejecting the notion of consent
You blame the victim
Where’s your hate for him?
You take her body
And offer it to them
Turn to your daughter
Would you dare to tell her
That if she drinks as much
She’ll get what she deserves

Tainted Glass

We’ll watch the sunset admiring its beauty
Without connecting it to any deity
This is all that’s worth believing in
Why must you cheapen it with all your talk of Heaven?
I don’t need your imaginary friend
To remind me how powerless I am
I don’t need to be saved
I’m not poisoned by faith
You see your world through tainted glass
The wool was pulled over your eyes
From the moment that you werebaptised
Not given a choice and forcedto submit
Your mind made up for you before you’d learnt to use it
Can you feel the shame
Coursing through your veins?
Every basic urge suppressed
Conscience never allowed to rest
In such a complex world
Morality’s absurd
If dictated as absolute
When there’s so many points of view
Removing from our lives all sense of mystery
All these easy answers are so tempting to believe
There is so much we can never absolve
But just ‘cause it’s not explained doesn’t mean your God’s involved
I don’t need your imaginary friend
To remind me how powerless I am
We just need to escape
All this poisonous faith
And break through all the tainted glass

Bleeding Hearts

I can't believe it's taken this long
For someone to sing you this song
Shut out all the blame
Their words are all in vain
There was nothing that you did
To provoke or encourage it
The choice was theirs alone
To ignore the word "no"
Just know it was never your fault
Those who love you would never say you asked for that assault
It was never your fault
There are those who blur the line
Between lovemaking and that wretched crime
The boundaries you set
You're human not an object
There is a world that's more concerned
About how you dressed than how you were hurt
The choice is yours only
With whom you share your body
Break through the tainted glass
Don't you dare be ashamed
You're the one my heart bleeds for
Those monsters showed no remorse
