White Knuckled in the Passenger Seat

from Night Vision in Dark Times by Annie SewDev

	/

lyrics

the roads are filled with old stubborn patriarchs
women white knuckled in the passenger seat
they rather risk their lives than be the one to tell him he's done
a silence learned very young

grandma barbara's advice to my mom on her wedding day:
"if you want something, you gotta make it his idea"
if you say black, he'll say white
if you say wrong, he'll say right
if you agree with him, he'll change his mind
and you'll lose your mind

our families are filled with old stubborn patriarchs
what will become of us when they're gone?
will we memorialize them in falsities?
will we forget where they went wrong?
i would like you more without your pride
