Yesterday (March 8) was International Women’s Day, and the occasion was celebrated in a number of ways around the world. Hayley Williams decided to observe the holiday in her own way as well: Yesterday, she took to Twitter to share the lyrics of “Roses/Lotus/Violet/Iris,” her upcoming collaboration with Boygenius members Phoebe Bridgers, Julien Baker, and Lucy Dacus.
Williams posted photos of the handwritten lyrics, which read in part, “I will not compare other beauty to mine / I will not become a thorn in my own side / and I will not return to where I once was / I can break through the earth, come up soft and wild.”
