Day One 02:50
say what you will about the godess divine she's patient and waits while you take yoru time finding yourself in a fucked up world and the truth that most boys don't want to be a girl listen here to what i say everything you fear is another delay so grab it now just push through because the sky is falling every day for you day one for me started half way through a life less lived in a melted stew don't be like me whatever you do follow your heart and what you know is true say what you will about the men in your life they've never wanted - to be someone's wife loving yourself in a fucked up world and the truth is that cis boys don't want to be a girl

Where the skies are blue And that bird is dead Where the dolls meet up To breed and be bred But even here when push comes to shove There's no hate like an "ally's love" Just another distraction Headed for the contraption I don't need no action I just need you to stop Where the blood is spilled on my behalf another cis hero don't make me laugh But even here when push comes to shove There's no hate like an "ally's love" Just another distraction Headed for the contraption I don't need no action I just need you to stop

They say use it or lose it just downright abuse it so when she's ready you can be rock steady and it don't matter if she's packing heat candy by any name tastes just as sweet take her in your arms sweep her off her feet tonight she's your goddess and your soul complete And so You know the rules no time to suffer fools- so it doesn't matter bulge or tuck everyone deserves a fuck it doesn't matter try your luck everyone deserves to.... They say life is hard and so am I Let's run together under the bluesky and it don't matter if she's packing heat candy by any name tastes just as sweet take her in your arms sweep her off her feet tonight she's your goddess and your soul complete it doesn't matter bulge or tuck everyone deserves a fuck it doesn't matter try your luck everyone deserves to....fuck! and she's all yours tonight whatever she has is just alright because you fell in love with her eyes and soul and tonight, together, you both feel whole it doesn't matter bulge or tuck everyone deserves a fuck it doesn't matter try your luck everyone deserves to....fuck!

Hey yeah- A criticism machine Hey yeah- But what does it mean? Hey yeah- So choose your words Always be careful You can farm souls all you like And you can heil every fallen reich Your every dawn turns into night but you're just pathetic What you create ends up creating you So watch your mouth and what you do There's only one chance so make it through I'm not fucking asking What you debate ends up debating you So watch your friends and what they do There's almost no chance we'll make it through So stop fucking asking Hey yeah- How's your fuck machine? Hey yeah- Was this your dream? Hey yeah- The three letters A.G.P? You're fucking nothing You can farm souls all you like And you can heil every fallen reich Your every dawn turns into night but you're just pathetic What you create ends up creating you So watch your mouth and what you do There's only one chance so make it through I'm not fucking asking What you debate ends up debating you So watch your friends and what they do There's almost no chance we'll make it through So stop fucking asking End your following No more followers This is the hollowing Empty the chambers End your following (oh yeah, oh yeah) No more followers (oh no, oh no) This is the hollowing (your face, your face) Empty the chambers (1,2,3, go!)

Since the gun went off there ain't no cleaning up but my brains make a pretty peacock now i'm just lying here can't even see my mirror did my mascara run, before it went off? My depression is cis oppression i need it like another hole in my head my depression no direction I would move on but now i am dead when will they find me here? just another dead queer just add another the fourty percent I could have been a girl If not for the world who buried me in someone else's grave My depression is cis oppression i need it like another hole in my head my depression no direction I would move on but now i am dead i'm in a grave with the wrong name another headline, my family's shame they'll run a hashtag, a memorial fund that is until they find the next one (no warning, pull the trigger) (no warning, pull the trigger) My depression is cis oppression i need it like another hole in my head my depression no direction I would move on but now i am dead (a trigger warning, if you are mourning, a sleeping beauty, just another dead girl)

I want to see you ugly since i first saw the way you move I want to be your new scars since i first saw the way you hurt i'm not alone in this confession i want you to be my new obsession the way you choke me the way you bite i want to go to bed afraid at night i'm not afraid of this position you'll make me bleed like it's your mission there's nothing left, nothing to save i want you to put me, in the grave

Forever 04:01
oh no, what would you have me do i was holding it inside oh no, how do you say what's true? you just want to think I lied I don't wanna wait forever I don't wanna hold you down I don't wanna wait forever For my life to begin My girl, you don't wanna know the score I've got it tallied on my skin My girl, I've been through it all and more Life's just waiting to begin I don't wanna wait forever I don't wanna hold you down I don't wanna wait forever For my life to begin oh no, what was it you said to me? that you'd love me anyway Oh no, was that in hostility? Just like everything you say I don't wanna wait forever I don't wanna hold you down I don't wanna wait forever For my life to begin
