Alandra L Peabody - I Candy Freestyle Lyrics

Every day it's a decision, should I blossom or hide?
Keep all the pest-attracting petals safely tucked up inside?
I love myself, and like to keep my temple brightly adorned but if I show off too much, my every step becomes porn
To all the lechers and snakes, who cut with eyes like rakes
Scraping up and down my skin til I can make my escape
And so the cycle repeats with every Nice Guy I meet who thinks of me as meat and can't hide their desire to eat
If you're hungry or thirsty, suck down your pride and a breath, and evaluate what makes you feel more safe than the rest
Is it that calm, violent gaze or the boundary pushing? Is it the silence of your conscience that you couldn't stop shushing?
Maybe it's something in your smile and how it lingers too long, or how you parrot variations of the same frightening song, it goes
"I see you as property, only not quite yet mine
If you agree to my advances everything will be fine."
And though the next lyrics are silent, we know what they imply
The choice to disagree becomes the reason some of us die
And yet, you act aghast and say, "That's absurd!
I'm like the nicest guy who won't listen but swears you'll be heard!
Just let me touch you a little, now, loosen up just a bit
The world promised I was owed this, it's my right to claim it
I'm not the rule I'm the exception, baby, don't be so bleak!
I've got a pretty solid not-been-seen abusing girls streak!"
But sure, it's all in our heads, right? Or the way that we dress
An endless dance around acknowledging the cause of this mess
We raise our boys to be men, and our men to be "strong"
But we conflate strength with violence, make it weak to be wrong
We have disdain for humanity, when it comes from a man
We laud indifference as sanity, it's all part of the plan
A toxic mix of demands sets the stage for disaster
Seeds we nurture with hate taint all the soil thereafter
