lyrics

I was raped at 15, it took five years to say that confidently. Told myself I'd never be worth it, or that I was a product of a social justice machine.

But when I take this song over to Dan's house, we'll put some drums behind the things we don't like. He won't like this song because it gets so boring shouting my story for money and attention. But I like money and attention, it makes up for the dignity I lost. So if it sounds like I am a vain human being, well maybe you're right, but goddamn I am true. And no one can ever take that from you. Yes, not even "you" can take that from me.
