Remember That You Can't Swim

lyrics

Respect… is that so hard for you? Keep yourself in check and curb that disregard. Respect… is that so hard for you? Keep yourself in check. Keep yourself in check, curb your disregard. Oh you and your fucking lack of respect for woman (who are) breathing the same air, working the same shift. All the while, very aware of space you create while you drift. Alone, farther alone. Separate yourself. Don’t you know, don’t you know? You are by yourself, without help, when you needed them most. Once you’ve pushed them away, after distrust in those torch bearers, lighting your way… you are lost, so lost. We were willing to give you a chance. But, you closed your eyes, clenched your fists, made sturdy your stance. We were willing to give you a chance. But, you closed your eyes, clenched your fists, made sturdy your stance. You lost your chance with us, and only when feeling alone—only when starting to cry and fucking moan—only when feeling ashamed with tail between your legs, you exclaim, “But, I didn’t know!”. And we told you so. “But, my friends shared my views!”, that’s why we’re sick of you. “But, now I’m treading water!”, you say. “Now, I’m treading water… I can’t swim!”. Oh, that’s why we’ll watch you sink like a stone. We’ll watch you sink all alone. We’ll watch you sink like a stone. We’ll watch you sink all alone. You had your chance. Now you’ll sink.

(Women can help, guide, and support men... if given the respect deserved)
