Jessie Hyde - Perpetuate Lyrics

When I was half asleep
I would perpetuate
Talk shit about boys
Who didn't take me on a date

Upset they were wasting my time
Turns out I was wasting my own
Mama you never really taught me
To put myself on my own throne

My shadow eats the pieces
Of the women before me
Who kept getting the message
You need a man to be worthy

My shadow eats the pieces
Of the women before me
Keep it for you that feeling
It's for your own guarantee

And now I just write
And I perpetuate
Buzzing life like a bee
Shedding the dead weight

Nobody now wasting my time
I grew some trees out of my bones
Mama don't worry I don't blame you
I'm just so happy I'm alone

My shadow eats the pieces
Of the women before me
It's about if I like them
Not about if they like me

My shadow eats the pieces
Of the women before me
The world is sending the message
You're powerful and you are free

So I picked up the bottles of me
That were laying on the shore
Got drunk on the power within
Buzzing through my pores

Go on and pick up the bottle of you
That are laying on the shore
Swing them over your shoulder
And march on with a roar

My shadow eats the pieces
Of the women before me
It's about if I like them
Not about if they like me

My shadow eats the pieces
Of the women before me
The world is sending the message
You're powerful and you're free

The world is sending the message
You're powerful and you're free
