maeve noiré - red pen lyrics

Loading...

stacked on my desk, the papers arrive
red pen marks telling me i’m barely alive
every word i write, every line i make
feels like a test that i can’t escape

whispers in the hall, judgment in the air
teachers pointing fingers like they care
i put my heart into what i do
but these red lines bleed right through

i see the numbers, the letters, the score
trying to tell me i’m less than before
i hold my breath, i fight, i stay
but the pressure grows every day

red pen grading, tearing me apart
lines on the page, but not my heart
red pen grading, i’ll rise above
i write my story, i write my love
red pen grading, i see the flame
i’m more than your rules, i make my name

late nights burning, trying to prove
that my work is more than your rigid rules
every correction, a shadow i fight
but i find my power in the night
they mark my words, but can’t mark my soul;
every red scribble just makes me whole
i write it down, i claim my ground;
every mistake can’t hold me down

i see the numbers, the letters, the score
trying to tell me i’m less than before
i hold my breath, i fight, i stay
but the pressure grows every day

red pen grading, tearing me apart
lines on the page, but not my heart
red pen grading, i’ll rise above
i write my story, i write my love
red pen grading, i see the flame
i’m more than your rules, i make my name

“red ink, red lines, don’t define me
i take my pages, my fight, my story
every mark you leave, i turn to gold
red pen grading, i won’t fold.”

red pen grading, tearing me apart
lines on the page, but not my heart
red pen grading, i’ll rise above
i write my story, i write my love
red pen grading, i see the flame
i’m more than your rules, i make my name
the papers pile, the red pen fades
i walk away with the strength i made
red pen grading, you can’t hold me;
i write my own rules, i’m finally free
