Falling slowly 'till I wrap around If life's so profound, Is it worth thinking more about it? 'Coz if I do, the pain and tenderness rises, Forces me to cry out But I can't speak a word Through my head, A flow of thoughts Deafening That's why I hurt myself Go, do the things that excite you Put on a smile even though it's not like you It's only good, it's only right, it's fair It worked for me, the others? What do I care? What do I care? When I'm feeling ill, I'll take a pill Or the doctor will advise me what to do about it Nobody else would dream of diagnosing But when it comes to my head, I suppose you will What other support can I get? Nothing. Or so it often seems Go, do the things that excite you Put on a smile even though it's not like you It's only good, it's only right, it's fair It worked for me, the others? What do I care? What do I care? Cut it, you best shut it Stop telling me about your sadness Try living your life with a dose of gladness I was always singing the chorus 'Coz I was never singing the verse It took me this long to understand It's you who's got it worse

How's it going, flesh teeth? You're going out on a night of mischief Another meaty crusader bound to fill their lungs With the destruction of the lives have done Nothing wrong I don't know how you can live with yourself You walk in and you pull a lifeless corpse from off the shelf You take a bite and chew and spit and nosh and crunch the bone And it's so wrong, so sick How's it going, flesh teeth? You're going out on a night of mischief Another meaty crusader bound to fill their lungs With the destruction of the lives have done Nothing wrong Take a look at all the pain that you cause The creatures being tortured, maimed and killed with no remorse And you dare to tell me that there is nothing wrong at all? Cannot you see the misery? I would put you through the machines myself Have you packaged up, placed upon the shelf Then maybe you'd see the sickening truth Of enslaving a race to sate your flesh tooth How's it going, flesh teeth?

I never saw myself as a boy I never saw myself as white I never thought about exactly what sex I wanted But if you do, I guess that's on you Originally I saw gender identity as a stereotyping endorsement From my early dreams of being a ballerina, I've seen an absence of gender enforcement But that's only me And I'm sure that there are others, Not free to such a degree Either way, it seemed to me When people said they want to be womanly or manly It strengthened the stereotypes of the binary Played into the hands of harmful systems that be But now I see that there's a utility To drawing strength from society Even if you disagree With it's inner machinations, it formed you and me And so accepting its influence as part of your identity Is alright, if you're just trying to be a friend, Not hurting others, be free never/saw my/f as a boy never/myse/as whi I thought/you/wanted/on/what sex I wanted But if/I guess/on/on/on on/never/on/saw my/f as a boy never/myse/myse/as/se I saw/what/what/what/what/what sex I wanted But if you do, I guess that's on/on/on/on When you're the norm, you don't gotta think about All the risks of being present in a place where they perceive you As a threat to your perspective, As a monolithic Other, And will deny just your right to be there and to be free So if you're stranded in a place where they're attacking those who differ You have the choice of whether to stand up against the bigots But make sure not to drown out the voices of the downcast And take care of your friends who don't have that luxury Show love and care in the face of this monstrous regime Show love and care in the face of this monstrous regime Show love and care in the face of this monstrous regime Treating everyone with compassion and kindness, now that's the dream Most of us face struggle at one time or another, and many of us of different types And it can be hard to understand someone else's struggle if it's different from your own But it's crucial to know that just because you don't understand it doesn't mean that it's invalid, or not your concern As the meme goes - "I don't know, I just got here" It's important to step up and show compassion to each other in each of our struggles, Even if we don't understand what the other is going through And to be open to learning from each other about what we're each having to cope with Which is, for the most part, what my story has been So maybe we should stand up for those who need someone in their corner Even if we don't yet fully know where their struggle comes from Rather than letting our lack of understanding turn into judgement or criticism, As some people choose to do Treating everyone with compassion and kindness, now that's the dream

I've been sad since the event A sadness I have tried hard to prevent I didn't notice it until the other day Until the other day Until the other And you sunk your teeth into my flesh Tore away until there's nothing left Came at odds with everything love meant I've been sad Since the event (Oohs) Tore through my nerves, you left me numb Stranded me here on an island of my own creation And if the world does end soon I will die without a friend I've been sad since the event A sadness I have tried hard to prevent I didn't notice it until the other day Until the other day Until the other
