Mild Fantasy Violence
03:47
|

In order to fight this downswing
I need a place that's safe and sound
We have to believe in something
If we're gonna turn this thing around
A gentle grip on your throat
A silent scream hysterical
The pain you feel irrational
It's mild fantasy violence
Try to relax what else can you
Really do
If we survive this game
Will real life improve
This level makes me angry
I swear we've done it
Five thousand times
A gentle grip on your throat
A silent scream hysterical
The pain you feel irrational
Mild fantasy overload
Just stay inside complete this game
You have time
If we can't defeat this boss then
We'll have to try it
Five thousand times
A gentle grip on your throat
A silent scream hysterical
The pain you feel irrational
Mild fantasy overload
A gentle grip on your throat
A silent scream hysterical
The pain you feel irrational
Mild fantasy overload

Youth
03:38

They ask us why we're exhausted at this age
Don't they know half our lives we've been seen as prey
The stakes are high for you
So much change but don't be rude
Teenage years your intelligence will be mistaken for attitude
It's like the weight of the world is why I'm so fucking tired
It's like they flipped a switch and now I am constantly wired
There's a reason anger's growing
Your heart is breaking
Your inner child is mourning
Where is youth's careless appeal
They say our bodies can take it at this age
Endless hours of work followed by play
I'm not even half way yet have I expired
Once these years are over I'll be undesired
There's a reason anger's growing
Your heart is breaking
Your inner child is mourning
Where is youth's careless appeal
There's a reason anger's growing
Your heart is breaking
Your inner child is mourning
Where is youth's careless appeal

Platonic
03:45
|

You don't know me that well
You think it's set in stone
I will exist regardless
There's nothing that I owe
Those days are over
I don't care for
Your opinion
My girls' on the floor
So there is the door
If you don't value our friendship
Then you can go
Don't just call me cuz
You're afraid of being alone
Platonic love
Makes my life
It's been so many years but
She still stands by my side
Unlike all of my lovers
She'll be here 'til I die
They said it wasn't enough
They said I needed your love
If you don't value our friendship
Then you can go
Don't just call me cuz
You're afraid of being alone
Platonic love
Makes my life
If you don't value our friendship
Then you can go
Don't just call me cuz
You're afraid of being alone
Platonic love
Makes my life
If you don't value our friendship
Then you can go
Don't just call me cuz
You're afraid of being alone
Platonic love
Makes my life
Platonic love
Makes my life

I Am A Weapon
03:45
|

Taking up space
Felt so erased
Started to run
But you are a sword
You are a knife
You are a gun
I am a weapon
Carefully used at my discretion
Unleash its blade for your protection
She is a weapon
She is a weapon
Reclaim your space
Push those away
Who try to erase
If I'm attacked that's not on me
But push my boundaries and you'll see
I am a weapon
Carefully used at my discretion
Unleash its blade for your protection
She is a weapon
She is a weapon
I am a weapon
Carefully used at my discretion
Unleash its blade for your protection
She is a weapon
She is a weapon

Make My Move
03:35

Your behaviour
I try to ignore
But it shapes me at my core
Generations
Of frustrations
Don't pretend you didn't raise me
Either way I'll make my move
Whether or not you approve
You can blame me
You can hate me
Erase all accountability
I don't blame you
I don't hate you
But I know I can't undo
Either way I'll make my move
Whether or not you approve
Either way I'll make my move
Whether or not you approve

Stay Still
03:48
|

All these changes in velocity
Losing grip on reality
Either way I will move if you push me
Cuz there's still motion in my blood stream
If everything went right for me
Would I feel this deeply
Or be less empty
Inertia or vice versa
I've had my fill
Will life go by fast or slow
If I stay still
Acceleration doesn't care about
Your feelings or your hideouts
The force and the viscosity
Red liquid-stained atrocity
You feel so fake on my skin
Did everything go wrong for me
Or do we all just suffer
Universally
Inertia or vice versa
I've had my fill
Will life go by fast or slow
If I stay still

FRAGILE
03:50
|
|||
He calls me crazy
But he's threatening my safety
Took a swing straight through my head
Stigmatized your emotions
Toxic masculine notions
You're told you cannot cave
Sometimes the prison bars are hard to see
It's a fragile scheme
Ensuring your entitlement
By utilizing violence
This is my final plea
Has it ever occurred to you
That change is really overdue
These roles hurt both me and you
I don't have an agenda
Maybe I just care about you
Is that so hard to believe
Sometimes the prison bars are hard to see
It's a fragile scheme
Ensuring your entitlement
By utilizing violence
This is my final plea
Sometimes the prison bars are hard to see
It's a fragile scheme
Ensuring your entitlement
By utilizing violence
This is my final plea

I Like Girls Like You Do
04:38
|

I'm subjected to exclusion
Didn't know that there were rules
My ex girlfriend said
I'll never be inside your dating pool
I really want to be with you
Cuz I like girls like you do
Like girls like you
Like girls like you
Like girls like you
Cuz I like girls like you do
Like girls like you
Like girls like you
Like girls like you
Cuz I like girls like you do
Some of our own make it tough
But darling please don't give up
I'll protect you, my bi sister
You are loved and more than enough
There will always be a place for you
Cuz I like girls like you do
Like girls like you
Like girls like you
Like girls like you
Cuz I like girls like you do
Like girls like you
Like girls like you
Like girls like you
Cuz I like girls like you do
I never really felt at home
Community was unwelcoming
You made me feel less alone
I thank you for letting me in
Your existence is not a sin
I hate how they've made you feel
Wish I could take those feelings away
You and your love are real
Don't listen to what they say
You are here to stay
Cuz I like girls like you do
Like girls like you
Like girls like you
Like girls like you
Cuz I like girls like you do
Like girls like you
Like girls like you
Like girls like you
Cuz I like girls like you do
