matches - katherine priddy lyrics

dust the ashes from your eyes
red of dawn in midnight skies
oh you, let it fuel and consume
and burn into your mind
the smoke and lies

fingers point when hands are tied
sink or swim, the loaded die
and you, you who gave us these brooms
and dare to look surprised
you never stopped to think we’d learn to fly

i’ve been so many women
i’ve been worshipped and abhorred
they loved me for my voice
until it conjured up false storms
i’ve been loose with my morals
or i’vе turn the key too tight
i smiled through thе daylight hours
and plotted through the night
remember you who tell the tale
of how we climbed those pyres
they weren’t burning witches
it was women on those fires

and like a cuckoo in the nest
we recall what they forget
they kissed our mouths and bound our legs
still they haven’t caught us yet
and you, you will rise with the moon
and show what scorn can do
don’t they know that we have matches too?
i’ve been so many women
i’ve been worshipped and abhorred
they loved me for my voice until it conjured up false storms
i’ve been loose with my morals
or i’ve turned the key too tight
i smiled through the daylight hours
and plotted through the night
remember when you tell the tale
of how we climbed those pyres
they weren’t burning witches
it was women on those fires
