the empty desk - maeve noiré lyrics

Loading...

third*grade test, in a trailer out back
ipads lined up, spelling words on track
headphones buzzing, nothing i could hear
i raised my hand, asked, “can i make it clear?”

she nodded once, thought the problem was done
i unplugged the cord — i just wanted to learn
but she ripped it away, dragged me through frost
my desk sat empty, while my voice was lost

the empty desk
my name erased
silence filled
the teacher’s sp*cе

left out in the cold
no voice, no choicе
the empty desk
stole my voice

she sat me down on a red bucket seat
winter wind biting, cold on my feet
through the trailer glass, they spelled with ease
while i froze alone in the winter’s freeze

not broken, not weak, just deaf and true
but they punished proof of what i could do
that red bucket burned like a mark on my chest
a frozen reminder — the empty desk
the empty desk
my name erased
quiet filled the sp*ce
i couldn’t face

left alone outside
no voice, no guide
the empty desk
took my side

i asked. i asked. i asked
chalk repeats the lesson of the past
i asked. i asked. i asked
but they wrote me off — silence that lasts

a red*bucket seat, trailer yard
winter wind biting, memory scarred
you can freeze my skin, still my voice
but you can’t erase what i’ve learned inside

the empty desk
my name once erased
silence filled
but i found my place

left out in the cold
no voice, no choice
the empty desk
couldn’t take my voice
