zoe lister-jones and adam pally - desire lyrics

Loading...

we talk about it all but constant
the wolf and the wolf’s meal
a girl, she grows up with no options
but to trust how her gut feels
when mothers warn we should be careful
we walk with our thighs pressed
our bodies learn to be fearful
every touch – a dangerous test

a boy, he learns he must be stoic

to earn his badge of pride
to show his pain is not heroic
so he keeps it bottled up inside
the pressure’s much too much to handle
the struggle to provide
but history will not dismantle
the rules by which we must abide

growing up is all about
learning how to live without
the baggage of our lesser years
packed tight with hurt and rage and tears
you and i let’s trace a map
where we can bridge this gender gap
the destination’s very near
we’ll spend one night in the town of fear
then drive past guilt, regret, and shame
to a town whose only precious name
is a rustling in the trees
under which we’ll light a fire
and listen to the wind
whisper
desire
