[ Another Flashback!]

Your POV

Our band has been practicing on a song and we have the opportunity to perform for the school since we were one of the best bands in our school. We prepared a song that is a solo and about gender roles for me to sing.

We set up on the stage and I peek through the curtains and see people loading into the room. I'm a little nervous, but everyone in the band encouraged me and told me to do my best. 

" Everything is set up. Are you ready y/n?" Vylad asked

" U-umm... y-yeah. It's now or never, right?"

" Yeah, we'll try to do as best as we can. Just forget that there is a crowd by closing your eyes or something and try to act mysterious so it'll fit the song."

" Let's do this." I say as I take my stance. 

The curtains reveal us and the lights dim and the spotlight is put on us, but mine was the brightest. People "oOOooh" at how cool we look. the music starts.

[press the play button!]

Play us like pawns and relentlessly confine

Into living up to gender roles and having absent minds

Don't you think it's funny how they tell us how to live?

Don't you think it's funny how we're all delinquent kids?

Like hush now, don't say don't say


Hush boy, oh hush boy

Don't say a word

Throw on your jersey and no one gets hurt

Hush girl, oh hush girl

Just bat your eyes

Play our little game, play our little game


Bounded all thoughts and corrected common sense

you're raising suicidals with your predetermined titles

Like " A mess, distress. I am unimpressed."

" You're excess, a dress is all you'll ever be"

Gender roles impose control and deceive progressive time.

Welcome, to the land of the broken mind


Hush boy, oh hush boy

Don't say a word

Throw on your jersey and no one gets hurt

Hush girl, oh hush girl
