Uncanny Valley

from Silver Daughter by Louise Page

/

lyrics

She smiles just like a doll
Her eyes are hard and glassy
Like she’s never cried at all
She’s a perfect painting of
The femininity you fear
You want it and you hate it and it isn’t even real

Uncanny valley
Fill it up with toys
Stick em all with needles
Throw em to the boys

Uncanny valley
Where all your idols play
Do you want flesh or plastic?
Do you want to die today?

I'm used to painting on the roses in my cheeks
I'm used to being told unless you’re spoken to don’t speak
I'm used to holding knives inside my mouth until it bleeds
I’d rather be lonely if it means i can be free

Uncanny valley
Fill it up with toys
Stick em all with needles
Throw em to the boys

Uncanny valley
Where all your idols play
Do you want flesh or plastic?
Do you want to die today?

You hate us when we pass
And you hate us when we don’t
You hate us when we’re masculine
You punish if we’re not
At a certain point honey you’re gonna have to admit it
There’s no magic ideal i think you just hate women!

Uncanny valley
The toys came to life
They plucked out all their needles
They’ll pluck out your hungry eyes

Uncanny valley
All your idols will decay
Cause despite themselves they’re made of flesh
Despite themselves they’ll pay
