Tired of being pushed around Ready to shout out loud You're the one that got me in this situation Never follow any cues Always breaking all the rules You're lying I can hear it in your hesitation I'm ready to shout out loud Never gonna make you proud I want a reputation I'm ready to shout out loud Never gonna make you proud I want a reputation Hah ah hah Hah ah hah You're the one that hit me first Even though it didn't really hurt Never trust an introvert Empty compliments Taught to smile while you stare at my tits Calling bullshit on your etiquette I'm ready to shout out loud Never gonna make you proud I want a reputation I'm ready to shout out loud Never gonna make you proud I want a reputation Hah ah hah Hah ah hah Take your weight off me Not gonna do what my mother taught me Take your weight off me Try, try and stop me Take your weight off me Not gonna do what my mother taught me Take your weight off me Try, try and stop me I want a reputation I want a reputation I want a reputation I want a reputation Hah ah hah Hah ah hah Hah ah hah Hah ah hah

I couldn't help myself You were with someone else Still I fell for you just the same Without ever knowing your name How was I to know You were never going to let go Still I fell for you just the same Without ever knowing your name I didn't know I had opened up the door Had no idea what was gonna be in store It was just the look in your eyes The look in your eyes Dancing on the floor Yeah we talked a little bit but I wanted more You said let's just wait and see If we're meant to be I thought that you would call It was weeks then months before I knew you were gone Yeah I waited, I waited to see I guess we weren't meant to be I didn't know I had opened up the door Had no idea what it all was for It was just the look in your eyes The look in your eyes And I fell And I fell And I fell The look in your eyes The look in your eyes The look in your eyes

Oh she laughs too loud So that everyone can hear But it's the audience That every man must fear Yeah she goes out late At night with her girlfriends And he's left to wonder Is she looking for another man But she says I'm a good girl Though I sometimes do bad things I'm a good girl On that you'll just have to trust me I'm a good girl Though I sometimes do bad things I'm a good girl On that you'll just have to trust me When she come in the room Everyone turns their head But it's not her beauty She's got something else instead When she looks at you It's like no one else exists But she'll walk away And you're wondering what you missed But she says I'm a good girl Though I sometimes do bad things I'm a good girl On that you'll just have to trust me I'm a good girl Though I sometimes do bad things I'm a good girl On that you'll just have to trust me Look at her eyes Would you know if they were telling you lies Look at her eyes Would you know if they were telling you lies Look at her eyes Would you know if they were telling you lies She says I'm a good girl (She's a good girl) Yeah I'm a good girl (She's a good girl) I'm a good girl (She's a good girl) Yeah

I sleep all day to stay up all night I wake up in the dark, go to bed in the light My head hurts all the time I sleep all day to stay up all night I sleep all day to stay up all night My skin is dry my eyes are smeared with liner My legs are bruised my insides are a complete disaster I sleep all day to stay up all night I wake up in the dark, go to bed in the light My head hurts all the time I sleep all day to stay up all night I sleep all day to stay up all night My thoughts are dark my ears are hearing sirens My throat is scorched my nose is dripping diamonds I sleep all day to stay up all night I wake up in the dark, go to bed in the light My head hurts all the time I sleep all day to stay up all night I sleep all day to stay up all night Ah ah ah ah Ah ah ah ah I'm fighting, I'm fighting Something you choose not to see Don't believe me, don't believe me That's the real insanity I'm fighting, I'm fighting Something you choose not to see Don't believe me, don't believe me Guess that's your reality I sleep all day to stay up all night I wake up in the dark, go to bed in the light My head hurts all the time I sleep all day to stay up all night I sleep all day to stay up all night I sleep all day to stay up all night Stay up all night Stay up all night Stay up all night Stay up all night Stay up all night All night All night All night All night All night

about

I see my music as empowering for females because of my
honesty. I think women often try to keep our emotions in check
because it’s so easy to be called crazy or hysterical, or to be
seen as “too much” or too intense or aggressive, while males
seem to get away with much more, without being labeled or
ostracized. I like to lean into those labels and challenge those
stereotypes by showing that there is strength in showing
emotions, even if they’re emotions that are discouraged for
women, such as lust, rage, or anger. “Good Girl” challenges the
notion that women should suppress valid emotions in order to
satisfy some external (patriarchal) version of “good.”
“Reputation” and “Beautiful Girl,” each in their own way, go
farther and recommend throwing off unhealthy, limiting societal
chains.

I titled my album “Blood Running” after a lyric from the song “Ha.”
The song displays the anger I felt after a relationship breakup,
but underneath the anger was immense hurt. I was unseen and
my pain and struggle didn’t matter. I feel it’s a bit of a female
anthem because as females we are often dismissed or go
unacknowledged. We play so many valuable roles in a society
that is still run by men. Our effort seems endless and often we
are left feeling powerless. It’s my hope that the album inspires
people, and women especially, to find validity in all their
emotional expression, and to claim their own power.
