I left the way I came,
still sick, and always sad
Due East, and never looking
back at what I had
I waited for a time When
things weren’t always tough
To fix our problems
turns out you can’t wait enough
When self care feels like
just a choice
You’re on your own
To find your voice
I can’t do the work for you
You can’t heal all at once
But that doesn’t mean to stop
Each time I turn around
You’re further from the top
But I can’t carry you
The way I did before
I’ve exhausted all my strength
To prove you can be something more
If not for you, then try for me
Please fight I want you to succeed
But I can no longer accede
To therapizing you while
I’ve got my own nerves to soothe
And now it’s time for you to move
Cause I’ve got my own shit to prove
Make way for me to take up room
And love myself without you here with me

Are The Straights Okay?

We may not talk too much
But at least you’re not alone
You’re always craving touch
But you’ve got me at home
I love you
I love you
I love you
Answer your phone
A subservient pleasure machine
That’s the real American dream
A woman without independence
Who doesn’t talk back fight or scream
I love you
I love you
I love you
Why aren’t you home
You don’t exist alone
You’re just a part of me
Who gives a fuck about romance
When the sex is guaranteed

It’s hard enough to be yourself
Let alone in front of someone else
Who believes that we shouldn’t exist
Who wants our rights to be dismissed
It’s not a trick, and we aren’t sick
I’m a woman and you’re a prick
Even if you don’t believe
What’s your problem with equality?
What about me
and my safety
I won’t die for you
You can trust me
You want privacy
But won’t let me be
Forcing me to hide
From your killing spree
What about me
Where’s my modesty
Forced to hide from the light
For just being me
We need more than just indifference
We need room to be
Litmus tests and false arrests
Girls murdered out on the street
Fuck my feelings? Well fuck yours too
I’ve been forced to face mortality
This body’s mine and mine alone
Fuck your TERF mentality

I'm Tired
01:50

I’m so tired
Uninspired
Sick of everything
Afraid of what tomorrow brings
I’m watching time revert
Witnessing people die and hurt
You can’t take the lives of women
in god’s name
All of their suffering
will come back to you
just the same
But we can’t let them win
And take away your voice
Let’s raise a molotov
To make sure you have the choice
All their power
All their pride
There’s so much they could do
Instead they roll back all our rights
Even those who’re on our side
Won’t pass the laws to make it right
If they give us everything
How could they suck our wallets dry
You can’t take the lives of women
in god’s name
All of their suffering
will come back to you
just the same
But we can’t let them win
And take away your voice
Let’s raise a molotov
To make sure you have the choice
You’ll have your choice
You’ll have your choice
***Bodily autonomy is a core requirement for freedom. Nobody’s free until everybody's free.***

I’m fighting sleep to feel alive
Coping mechanisms guide my sight
I’ve been holding on too long
Convincing myself I’m gonna be alright
I’d be lying if I said to you
That I knew that you’d come through
But it doesn’t change what I feel
I’ll drag my feet right through the heel
Just to be closer for one more minute
Walls are down and I’m drowning in it
I’m drowning in it

Independence

I haven’t got a clue
what I have left behind
I’ve moved on with my life
now I don’t have the time
For me
I’m on my own
For me
I’m all alone
For me
I’m free
To make you reap what you have sown
I never knew my strength
Without you on the line
I’m finally complete
Without you on my mind
For me
I’m on my own
For me
I’m all alone
For me
I’m free
I’ve found myself, it’s just for
For me
I’m on my own
For me
I’m all alone
For me
I’m free
Rapid descent into obscurity

Absurd
01:52

Eyes feeling foreign
Senses deceived
I can’t understand the way
people perceive
Our differences, values
Their own sense of truth
While blaming the others
And draining the youth
So I clench my teeth
As I wait for the fall
The other shoes coming
The end of it all
How could we be happy
When everything is shit
Keep reaching up for help
Pretty soon you’ll get bit
Nothing is real
Don’t be disappointed
That means that there’s no fate
So don’t get disjointed
This moral oppression
By which we abide
Is what makes timid
And robs us of pride
So I clench my teeth
As I wait for the fall
The other shoes coming
The end of it all
How could we be happy
When everything’s shit
Keep reaching up for help
Pretty soon you’ll get bit
You’ll get bit

Impressing depression
Self loathing and shame
I overlooked gaslighting
I kept blaming my brain
For all your abuses
You’ve broken all our truces
Now you can’t blame your trauma
You’ve got no more excuses
You’ve lost your power
to take me down with you
I hope that you
drown in this shame
There’s nothing left for
You to take from me
Fuck you
And your dishonesty
Can’t be accountable
They’re all to blame
But you point your finger
To hide your shame
Half truths, rebuts
All add to my doubts
I hope no-one else
Has to figure your shit out
You’ve lost your power
to take me down with you
I hope that you
drown in this shame
There’s nothing left for
You to take from me
Fuck you
And your dishonesty

Inactivism
02:20
|
|

You ignore reality
Ignorant of your transgressions
You’ve got no empathy
Until you’ve felt oppression
Do you call out friends
Who speak ill of women, are racist or crass
Do you believe the victims
When they say they’ve been harassed
Intention’s important
but it’s only a step
It gives the illusion
of passion and depth
What if a lover
a sibling a friend
Had their life taken
On who can they depend
If you don’t fight for them
Then who will fight for you
Without the help of others
Then what the fuck else can we do (extend)
***I shouldn’t have to say this, but don’t wait until you’re personally affected to start caring about the rights of others. It may be a stranger today but it’s not long before you or a loved one will experience oppression that limits your freedoms. Fighting for the rights of others ensures rights for yourself.***
