CEASE AND DESIST Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Promise me you're never the victim
Promise me you have to fight
Promise me you're never the victim
Promise me you have to fight back
[Refrain]
You have to fight right now
You have to fight
[Verse 2]
Lies, you're not one of them
You can try
You're not one of them
Try, you're not one of them
You can try
They want to take it away from you
[Refrain]
You have to fight right now
You have to fight
[Verse 1]
Promise me you're never the victim
Promise me you have to fight
Promise me you're never the victim
Promise me you have to fight back
Promise me you're never the victim
Promise me you have to fight
Promise me you're never the victim
Promise me you have to fight back
[Refrain]
You have to fight right now
You have to fight
[Verse 2]
Lies, you're not one of them
You can try
You're not one of them
Try, you're not one of them
You can try
They want to take it away from you
[Refrain]
You have to fight right now
You have to fight
[Verse 1]
Promise me you're never the victim
Promise me you have to fight
Promise me you're never the victim
Promise me you have to fight back
[Refrain]
You have to fight right now
You have to fight
[Verse 3]
Lies, you don't want to remember
Their lies, you don't want to remember
You try, but you don't want to remember
Their lies, they want to take it away from you
[Interlude]
They want to take it all away
They want to take it all away
They want to take it all away
They want to take it all away from you
[Bridge]
Ask me no more questions tell me no more lies
Haunted blood tastes better now
Haunted blood tastes better now
The wires have been cut and the signal has been lost
Haunted blood of the innocent
Haunted blood of the innocent
[Refrain]
You have to fight right now
You have to fight
You have to fight right now
You have to fight
[Verse 3]
Lies, you don't want to remember
Their lies, you don't want to remember
You try, but you don't want to remember
Their lies, they want to take it away from you
[Interlude]
They want to take it all away
They want to take it all away
They want to take it all away
They want to take it all away from you
[Bridge]
Ask me no more questions tell me no more lies
Haunted blood tastes better now
Haunted blood tastes better now
The wires have been cut and the signal has been lost
Haunted blood of the innocent
Haunted blood of the innocent
[Refrain]
You have to fight right now
You have to fight
[Verse 4]
Honestly, you're never the victim
Honestly, you have to fight
Honestly, you're never the victim
Honestly, you have to fight
Honestly, you're never the victim
Honestly, you have to fight
Honestly, you're never the victim
Honestly, you have to fight

Genius Annotation
Alice describes the meaning of the song in her Instagram post; “this song is a call to arms for all survivors. –
But being a survivor often means feeling afraid, it means feeling worthless, like you can’t go on. We need to fight back against those who have victimized us and against the feelings that tell us to give up inside.
Sometimes we think we deserve the pain others have inflicted on us. This song is what I tell myself to get through each day, and what I hope other survivors can remember when they feel like they can’t make it through the darkness of their own recovery. Every day is a fight.”
The title of the song is that of a legally enforceable order from a court or government agency directing someone to stop a particular activity. Which is a possible reference to a Cease and Desist sent to Alice by Ethan Kath whom she later accused of rape to which Kath responded by a defamation lawsuit against Glass.
It was announced that Glass was being sued by Kath because of these allegations on twitter when Glass was sent summons by someone posing as a fan
And on the 23rd of February 2018 Glass announces that she had won the lawsuit against her
