Not All Binary
03:52
|

We spend our lives in chains
Bound by the thoughts of every story
Try to make the claims
Try to keep it in your body
We didn't know the words
Tried to sing along and broke it
We didn't know our names
Wouldn't let us stand alongside them
Not all binary
Not all clearly black or white
Not all binary
Not all clearly wrong or right
We vaguely understood
Didn't know how to speak our truth
We didn't care to fall
Didn't want to have to lose it all
They didn't know the words
Tried to sing along and broke it
They didn't know our names
Wouldn't let us stand alongside them
Not all binary
Not all clearly black or white
Not all binary
Not all clearly wrong or right
We don't need to conform
Don't need to know their rules
Don't have to be boys
And we don't have to be the girls
We can go our way
Do whatever we please
We're not all binary
We don't need to stand alongside them
Not all binary
Not all clearly black or white
Not all binary
Not all clearly wrong or right

If I Didn't Know Better
06:15
|

If I didn't know, If I didn't know
If I didn't know better
If I didn't know better
If I didn't know better
If I didn't know better
If I didn't know, If I didn't know
If I didn't know better I'd say I lost myself
If I didn't know better I'd say I'm someone else
If I didn't know, If I didn't know
You say you'll fight for me
You say you're right for me
You say you're on my side
You say you want me to hide
If I didn't know, If I didn't know
You keep telling me I'm crazy
You want me isolated
You want me all alone
You keep me medicated
And deep inside I know
Deep inside I know better
If I didn't know better, I'd say I've got to deal
If I didn't know better, I'd say I've got to heal
If I didn't know, If I didn't know
You say I'm going mad
I think you're really glad
I think you're in in my head
I think you'll end up dead
If I didn't know, If I didn't know
You keep telling me I'm crazy
You want me isolated
You want me all alone
You keep me medicated
And deep inside I know
Deep inside I know better

Nightmare
04:14
|
|||
You resent me because I fit in so fluidly, between male and female.
Partaking in all but existing in none.
I have tits and that’s okay but the hair on my body is distressing.
A mouth just for shouting.
I’m your nightmare.
I choose not to take hormones or change my body, not yet anyway.
Binders too claustrophobic,
So my pronouns don’t stick.
I’m she and her until you decide.
I fit into what you see.
I’m your nightmare.
There’s no pre-approved path for people like me,
no medical intervention.
So that must mean I don’t exist.
If I do male things I’m obviously a man.
If I do female things I’m obviously cis.
I can’t win with your police.
I’m your nightmare.
I’m a feminist, a radical one because gender is something I don’t believe.
I don’t do effortless in anything
Neither man or woman for me.
I do what I want and how I want.
Just angry and non binary.
I’m your nightmare.
I accept people for the journey’s they’re on, accept what you can’t see.
Trans men are men.
Trans women are women.
Someone’s identity isn't up to me.
I just don’t fit that binary.
I’m your nightmare.

The Darkness
05:06
|

I have all these thoughts; and I'm not sure who's right
All I know how to do; is lash out and fight
Because the darkness is creeping and it won’t be denied
I build up these walls; around myself and hide
Pushing others away; won't let any inside
When the demons come calling; they won’t be denied
Hold your breath; try to hide
Try not to look; it's the darkness inside
I don't want to hurt anymore
I don't want to try
I don't want to hurt anymore
I just want to die
We all have those feelings and we want to give up
We all look to closely at what hurts us the most
It's hard to think with all the voices inside
And the darkness is calling and can't be denied
Stand up straight; try to fight
Don't give in; to the darkness inside
I don't want to look anymore
I don't want to cry
I don't want to hurt anymore
But I don't want to die

Night of the Witch
03:39
|

Tonight is the time, night of the witch
The vale is thinnest and the air crisp.
The spirits are calling out from the past
The New Year is dawning, on this night of the witch
Frankincense and myrrh burning on the air
The altar all set for the gifts they shall share
A tear is shed for those that have passed
On this night of remembrance, while it still is dark.
This is night of the witch
This is night of the witch
This is night of the witch
This is night of the witch
For those that have gone before,
they gather in the woods
Then they say heartfelt goodbyes,
And they look to the moon
Tonight is Samhain, night of the witch
The vale is thinnest, and the air crisp.
The spirits are calling, out from the past
The New Year is dawning, on this night of the witch
This is night of the witch
This is night of the witch
This is night of the witch
This is night of the witch
For those that have gone before,
they gather in the woods
Then they say heartfelt goodbyes,
And they look to the moon
This is night of the witch
This is night of the witch
This is night of the witch
This is night of the witch

Woman
03:17
|

Too fat, too thin
Doesn't fit the skin she's in
Too tall, too short
Too average
Too ugly, too beautiful
Can't trust a pretty face
Can't have kids, doesn't want 'em
She's letting the side down
What gives you the right to say who's a woman?
What makes you an authority?
Your ideas ain't fuck all baby
They mean nothing you see
Take a look in the mirror asshole
You're the face of the patriarchy
Too loud, too proud
Makes her thoughts known
Too strong, too powerful
Makes herself heard
She sits astride her white horse
Doesn't need a protector
Won't believe society's lies
She's a defector
What gives you the right to say who's a woman?
What makes you an authority?
Your ideas ain't fuck all baby
They mean nothing you see
Take a look in the mirror asshole
You're the face of the patriarchy
You call for solidarity
You call for respect
But until you see my sisters as people
You ain't worth shit

Sleeping

I'd like to watch you sleeping
I'd like to sleep with you
I'd like to know what's inside
I'd like to know what you hide
I'd like to watch you sleeping
I'd like to enter your dreams
To know what's inside your head
When the beast needs to be fed
I'm inside you
I'll protect you
I'll hold the dark back
I'm on the inside.....
I'd like to watch you sleeping
I'd like to hold your hand
Down the stairs of your fear
Where you make a stand
I'd like to watch you sleeping
I'd like to offer you a branch
A light that outshines the dark
To give you power
I'm inside you
I'll protect you
I'll hold the dark back
I'm on the inside.....
I'd like to watch you sleeping
I'm here to hold your sword
The page to turn you on
I'll row you from that shore
