maeve noiré - self-taught lyrics

classroom lights, but the lessons were gone
empty words from a voice that droned on
they shut the door, left me alone
so i built my world out of pages and notes

binders stacked high on my little shelf
every summer i was teaching myself
no playground games, no childhood days
just textbooks and margins where i carved my way

self+taught, self+taught, that’s how i survived
every word i read kept my spirit alive
self+taught, self+taught, i carry the proof
i passed every test when thеy gave me no truth
no teachеr, no lessons, just my own drive—
self+taught, self+taught, i kept me alive

state test papers, pencils down
passed every one though they counted me out
never gave me the tools, never gave me the keys
but i broke through the locks with a mind set free

twelve years old with a writer’s hand
second grade scripts they couldn’t understand
over three thousand books now filling my room
i built my future while they built my tomb
self+taught, self+taught, that’s how i survived
every word i read kept my spirit alive
self+taught, self+taught, i carry the proof
i passed every test when they gave me no truth
no teacher, no lessons, just my own drive—
self+taught, self+taught, i kept me alive

they said they were teachers, but i call that a lie
i raised my own voice when they passed me by
so thank you for nothing, you gave me the fire
to learn on my own and climb higher, higher

self+taught, self+taught, my story’s alive
published my words, let my voice survive
self+taught, self+taught, my kingdom i found
i built it alone while they tore me down
no teacher, no lessons, just my own fight—
self+taught, self+taught, and i did it right

yeah… i taught myself…
