Editing Taxidermy Girl (section)

== Lyrics ==
[Verse 1]<br>
Fawn staggering through the trees<br>
Since I was a girl, I never felt like a person<br>
Eyes and sights trained right on me<br>
They wanna hurt me with their sick perversions<br>
<br>
It's not up to me, or so I've been told<br>
This is the nature of the female skin<br>
Meat that men want bought and sold<br>
Since I can remember, it's always been...<br>
<br>
Hand over blankets, legs crossed<br>
Skirts below the knees, doors locked<br>
"There are men that will hunt you"<br>
So I've learnt to run from you<br>
Innocence made to decay<br>
Thoughts I couldn't wash away<br>
No knowledge of my body<br>
Prey drive deep-seated in me<br>
<br>
[Chorus]<br>
In love with the idea of me<br>
Mount my head on a wall<br>
Lifeless for everyone to see<br>
Gracefully declawed<br>
<br>
No scratching, biting, whining<br>
Never fighting back again<br>
Look at my virgin eyes through glass<br>
An all-consuming guilt that you could never comprehend<br>
To be a girl is to be trapped<br>
<br>
[Verse 2]<br>
Clean yourself for consumption<br>
But don't ever let yourself be consumed<br>
Organs for reproduction<br>
Organs that must remain unused<br>
Plagued with urges so obscene<br>
How am I supposed to ignore it?<br>
If my body's meant to stay clean<br>
Then why do I feel like I'm asking for it?<br>
<br>
Hand and rope and PVC<br>
My unspoken fantasies<br>
Loss of my autonomy<br>
Can't help it appeals to me<br>
If it's something I don't want<br>
Then it couldn't be my fault<br>
Deer standing in the headlights<br>
Begging you to take its life<br>
<br>
[Chorus]<br>
In love with the idea of me<br>
Mount my head on a wall<br>
Sinful desires festering<br>
Under my pelt, they claw<br>
<br>
So skin me, flesh me, tan my hide<br>
And render me preserved<br>
My plastic eyes brimming with shame<br>
Remove the viscera containing deviance unheard<br>
To be a girl is to be game<br>
<br>
[Verse 3]<br>
Horror stories of what predators do<br>
I've heard them since I was old enough to fear<br>
And now I'm filled with a dreaded excitement<br>
Whenever sharp teeth and claws draw near<br>
And so my womanhood became synonymous with endangerment<br>
Maternal figures preserve my purity with such insistence<br>
<br>
Blatant hypocrisy of animality<br>
Eating out of your hands<br>
Whatever you'll give me<br>
Don't want to be a cadaver<br>
Wanna be free<br>
But a cage is the basis of femality<br>
<br>
[Chorus]<br>
In love with the idea of me<br>
Mount my head on a wall<br>
Lifeless for everyone to see<br>
Gracefully declawed<br>
<br>
No scratching, biting, whining<br>
Never fighting back again<br>
Look at my virgin eyes through glass<br>
An all-consuming guilt that you could never comprehend<br>
To be a girl is to be trapped<br>
A delicacy never unwrapped<br>
An innocence forever intact<br>
