Lyrics

Never been one to give in to conformity
Identity is crucial despite these ovaries
Why did they even bother to give a name to me?
If I’m just expected to assume someone else’s identity
A socially celebrated form of slavery
Under the guise of blissful domesticity

I didn’t want this but it hunted me down
Seductive predators threw me to the ground
Holding me captive with their promises and lies
They say it isn’t giving up, but just a compromise

This is what I’ve been reduced to
This is what I’ve been reduced to
This is what I’ve been reduced to
This is what I’ve been reduced to

Vampires draining me
Removing my autonomy
Vampires draining me
Fostering co-dependency

This is what I’ve been reduced to
This is what I’ve been reduced to
This is what I’ve been reduced to
This is what I’ve been reduced to

Worth as a person originates intrinsically
But I’m defined by my relationship to my family
Female value as determined by society
Is governed by the function of our mammaries
Programmed with fairy tales of bullshit royalty
To ensure I’ll fulfill my role within the patriarchy

This is what I’ve been reduced to
This is what I’ve been reduced to
This is what I’ve been reduced to
This is what I’ve been reduced to

Vampires draining me
Removing my autonomy
Vampires draining me
Fostering co-dependency
Vampires draining me
Removing my autonomy
Vampires draining me
Fostering co-dependency

This is what I’ve been reduced to
This is what I’ve been reduced to
This is what I’ve been reduced to
This is what I’ve been reduced to
