Five years old, they taught me well To smile and never raise my voice Good girls don't scream, good girls don't yell Good girls are never given choice The porcelain mask upon my face Has cracks that no one seems to see I learned to walk in perfect grace While screaming silently Good girl mask is wearing thin The rage is burning from within Decades spent saying yes to you While my heart was turning blue Tear away this frozen face Find the fire in this space Good girl mask falls to the ground My true voice has found its sound Through teenage years of bitten tongue When boys would grab and take their share The lessons that were never sung Be nice or no one seems to care In boardrooms smiling through the pain When they spoke over every word Good girls don't complain or gain The right to ever being heard Good girl mask is wearing thin The rage is burning from within Decades spent saying yes to you While my heart was turning blue Tear away this frozen face Find the fire in this space Good girl mask falls to the ground My true voice has found its sound Behind this mask there lives a witch A woman wild and fierce and free The good girl was just a glitch In who I'm meant to be Now thirty years of painted smiles Have left me hollow, carved and worn I walked ten thousand weary miles To please the world since I was born But masks are made for taking off And I can feel my true face there Behind the years of playing soft There's wildness in my golden hair Good girl mask is torn away The fire burns brighter every day No more bowing down to you My authentic soul shines through Look upon my naked face See the power in this space Good girl mask lies broken here My true voice rings crystal clear Good girl dies... Wild woman flies... Finally free...
