Name: Leerers
Duration: P00H01M47S
Description: It’s about trying to say no to creeps and leerers when you feel backed up against the wall. It is specifically inspired from two experiences I've had while performing in Shrimpwitch. So it's self-referential, in that when I'm performing live, I'm literally screaming at people that "I'm not here for you to leer". But through song! But I'm actually screaming at you- live !”

lyrics

Just because I look funny
Just because I have a body
Just because I have hair
Does not mean you can stare

There's a force that surrounds me
That you think you want desperately
Your perverted sinister glare
To which I've become aware

I'm not here
For you to leer
I'm not here
For you to leer

Your gaze is cold and shadowy
Is wrong and horrid not flattering
My lightness, glittery and fair
Is threatened by you to which you don't care

I won't stand here and be objectified
Part of my naivety had died
You don't know what this feels like
Don't touch me, don't kiss me

I'm not here
For you to leer
I'm not here
For you to leer (cont)
