Jesus Was A Trans Girl

jesus was a trans girl, this I know
for the holy bible tells me so
she had such long hair and a great big beard
and everyone around her thought that she was weird
jesus was a communist, this I believe
because of the wisdom that I did receive
she was poppin’ up bread everywhere she went
and people believed she was heaven-sent
far from it!
maybe she was just really clever
or maybe she'll come back
I say better late than never!
jesus was a feminist, which should be no suprise, she said
"if you can't stop staring, better pluck out your eyes"
and "blessed are the peacemakers" she also said
"cus if you live by the sword you'll fuckin wind up dead!"
and jesus loved degenerates, on this hill I'll die
all the trannies and queers were the apple of her eye
and to all of us she promised it won't be too long
until the last shall be first and the weak shall be strong
and none shall be afraid!
and none shall be afraid!
and none shall be afraid!
to all you bible thumping bastards waving red white and blue
better get with the program, thought you already knew
that jesus was brown, yeah, your jesus was a jew
and she hated imperialistic motherfuckers like you
she said a rich man couldn't get to heaven if he tried
might as well shove camel through a needle's eye
and if he don't like that he can give away all his shit
cus money doesn't matter when the world's gonna split
jesus loved the people who were hated and seen as broken
and you would love them too if you believed a single word she'd spoken, spoken!
jesus was a trans girl, this I know
for the holy bible tells me so
she had such long hair and a great big beard
and everyone around her thought that she was weird
and jesus loved degenerates, on this hill I'll die
all the trannies and queers were the apple of her eye
and to all of us she promised it won't be too long
until the last shall be first and the weak shall be strong
and none shall be afraid!
and none shall be afraid!
and none shall be afraid!

Lucy

well hey there lucy, i've got a stupid question for you
would you like to go get coffee with me today?
i know caffeine is a softer drug than you're used to
but maybe this time getting high's not our aim anyway
lately i've been feeling like you only hang around me
cus i keep you in cigarettes
you say it wouldn't make a difference
if you didn't get them from me
but lately i've been feeling like to you
i'm nothing more than a fun kid to do drugs with
and as long as i’m buying, you act so goddamn friendly
but am i enough to keep you interested
all by myself, with no artificial aid?
am i enough to make you want to be near me?
cus every time i leave you now, i always wish that i'd stayed
hey there lucy, i've got another funny question
how'd you like to go for dinner at my favourite cafe?
we'll probably drink two or three bottles of wine in succession, knowing us
but if we didn't, would you enjoy yourself anyway?
lately i've been feeling like you only hang around me
cus i keep you in cigarettes
you say that that's ridiculous
you value my company
but lately i've been feeling like to you
i'm nothing more than a fun kid to do drugs with
and as long as i'm buying, you act so goddamn friendly
but am i enough to keep you interested
all by myself, with no artificial aid?
am i enough to make you want to be near me?
cus every time i leave you now, i always wish that i'd stayed
every time you leave me, i always wish that you'd stayed
oh lucy
oh lucy
i know it sounds goofy
but lucy
get high on me tonight
oh lucy
i know it sounds goofy
but lucy, oh lucy
get high on me tonight
oh lucy, oh lucy
get high on me tonight
oh lucy, oh lucy
get high on me tonight
cus if i’m fighting for your love with cigarettes and drugs
i’m not going down without a fight

Vacation Song
04:42
|

i was trapped in a hotel room
in florida for a week
and all that time my only contact with you was
my phone, and i could rarely speak
and while my body went to disney world i was
pacing in circles inside my mind
cus when you told me that you were switching schools
i couldn't help but feel like you were leaving me behind
and we were trapped in a beach house
on hornby island for fourteen days
and all that time i believed i was borderline, cus you said so
and we were never peaceful, we were fighting always
and every morning i said "this day will be okay"
but every night i inevitably screamed and cried
cus when you told me that you would rather sleep alone
it was nothing, but from the way i reacted
you woulda thought that i had died
oh, you know until you don't know
you know until you don't know
you know until you don't know and then they're gone
well i figured some day i'd stop getting thrown away
i just didn't think it would take so long
i just didn't think it would take so long
i was trapped in school for thirteen years
kindergarten and every grade
and all that time i believed i was a monster
and nobody would ever love me even if they were paid
and my teachers said "oh sweetie, we know you're being bullied
if it's any consolation, you're pretty damn smart"
but when all anybody seems to care about is your brain
it's so incredibly easy to forget you have a heart
you know until you don't know
you know until you don't know
you know until you don't know and then they're gone
well i figured some day i'd stop getting thrown away
i just didn't think it would take so long
oh, you know until you don't know
you know until you don't know and then they're gone
well i figured some day i'd stop getting thrown away
i just didn't think it would take so long
i just didn't think it would take so long

Just The One Of Us
05:01
|
|||
the day i first met you was in early september
and i know you won't, but baby i remember
you were beautiful, and you would never notice me
and then you did, and then a long time passed
the years went by like we were counting too fast
we were still farther apart than continents could ever be
and now i see, and now i know
that you will never hear me saying hello
or see me waving my thousandth goodbye
to the just the one of us who's never had to hide
and that used to bother me, but now i am through
with letting my whole universe revolve around you
just the one of us who's never needed pride
but at least i tried
i've got a dress in my bag and a door in my face
and they say that the closet's such a terrible place
but the light's on in here, and out there it's the middle of the night
but my hand's on the handle, i'm done living in fear
of what i see when i look in the mirror
just the one of us, ugly and alone in the light
well maybe you're right, but you should know
that you will never hear me saying hello
or see me waving another goodbye
to the just the one of us who's never had to hide
and that used to bother me, but now i am through
with letting my whole universe revolve around you
just the one of us who's never needed pride
and oh, imagine the bench on which i'm sitting alone
oh no, you're an hour late and you won't pick up the phone
let it go. i guess that leaves just the one of us
who cares at all about me
but my hand's on the handle and i'm ready to leave
the day i first met you, i knew it was love
your hair was long and your voice was soft
and you were beautiful, something i could never be
and then i was, although you weren't aware
and i thought that maybe you would finally care
but i was still just one of a million fish in the sea
and now i believe that you should know
that you will never hear me saying hello
or see me waving another goodbye
to the just the one of us who's never had to hide
and that used to bother me, but now i am through
with letting my whole universe revolve around you
just the one of us who's never needed pride
yeah, you will never hear me saying hello
or see me waving another goodbye
to the just the one of us who's never had to hide
and that used to bother me, but now i am through
with letting my whole universe revolve around you
just the one of us who's never needed pride
but at least i tried

Hydrogen
05:35
|
|||
i am starting to feel like my head is weightless
come and be weightless with me
i feel like my whole body is weightless
floating, placid, ten miles beneath
the surface of a midnight sea
i feel like i've been split into my parts
molecules that together make up my soul
so come be my modem, decypher my heart
into something that'll never get old
and save my life, please
read the lines in my spectrum
and tell me if hydrogen in my heart lies
let it be lighter than air, cus right now it's infected
diseased with the weight of my sins and my lines
not featherweight, but as a feather disguised
i feel like i've been split into my parts
molecules that together make up my soul
so come be my modem, decypher my heart
into something that'll never get old
i feel like my mind's being sent as a telegram
bouncing off the atmosphere and out into space
i feel like our spirits now form a venn diagram
two equal circles that occupy the same place
and save my life, please
read the lines in my spectrum
and tell me if hydrogen in my heart lies
let it be lighter than air, cus right now it's a plectrum
too burdened to lift from the strings in your eyes
aorta unable to love or despise
aorta unable to love or despise
and save my life, please
read the lines in my spectrum
and tell me if hydrogen in my heart lies
let it be lighter than air, cus right now it's a plectrum
too burdened to lift from the strings in your eyes
aorta unable to love or despise
aorta unable to love or despise

Primary Colours
03:36
|

we didn't talk on the long drive there
and it wasn't hard not to stare
in fact i found it hard to look at all
and she wasn't there to catch me
so it's good that i didn't fall
i didn't feel my feet swept out from under me
nor the urge to get down upon my knees
and though she made me die a pleasant little death
when i think about you, i get all out of breath
i get drunk when i get depressed
i stay up when i need rest
and i wonder why i feel like shit
and i don't know what it is
i need to do to get better
but i'm pretty sure this ain't it
all the red flags didn't look red at the time
you were the miniature heart inside of mine
but i was filled with poison and i didn't know what to do
i was filled with poison and i let it leach through to you
but there's a symbol i keep seeing in all of my dreams
but it keeps changing and i don't know what it means
there's a symbol i keep seeing in all of my dreams
and it keeps changing and i don't know what it means
yeah the symbol's not the thing it used to symbolize
this is not a pipe, it's a crock of lies
this is not a gateway to heaven like we planned
this is not the ocean, it's a bucket full of sand
there's a symbol i keep seeing when i get high
and it keeps changing and i don't understand why
it's in primary colours
it's so vibrant it won't leave me alone
and it keeps changing but i think it means
home

Airtight
03:41
|
|||
i can't believe i have grown so tall
to still be ruled by fear
i close my eyes on the long fall
push away everyone that's near
i bare my teeth and i snarl when i'm hurting
see the tears when you call my name
the flood is rising above my head
you pump the water out of my lungs
and lay me to bed
but i'm drowning all the same
but i'm drowning all the same
cus i've got nothing to gain
it's easier to stay numb anyway
and i'm picking fights under city lights
i'm fireproof, i'm airtight
but did you ever see a firefly catch fire and die
beneath a cardboard sky?
cus trees are lighting forest fires
and the people on my screen are liars
did you ever see a lioness leave her pride
cus she was too afraid to go outside?
i can't believe i have grown so tall
to still be ruled by fear
buried in the burning wreckage of it all
wish i could just disappear
i walk on my knees
through a forest of needles and pins
and i feel nothing at all
cus i've thickened my skin
and i'm picking fights under city lights
i'm fireproof, i'm airtight
but did you ever see a firefly catch fire and die
beneath a cardboard sky?
cus trees are lighting forest fires
and the people on my screen are liars
did you ever see a lioness leave her pride
cus she was too afraid to go outside
too afraid to go outside
too afraid to go outside
too afraid to go outside
too afraid to go outside?

A Little More Myself
05:07
|
|||
sometimes it feels so weird
to be a lady with a beard
and my body becomes the embodiment
of everything i've feared
it's so easy to spend all day in bed
wishing there was nothing i'd ever said
and that every ray of light
that touched me disappeared
sometimes it feels so strange
to think of how much i have changed
in the past few years, despite apathy
compelling me to stay the same
the road to justice is long
and the road to peace is too
and it asks of me to unlearn all
the fucked up things i thought i knew
but yeah, i am gonna make it there
step by fragile step
i'm gonna kick at the darkness
and break all the boxes
til there's none left
and i will shout it out!
i'm just the same as who i was before
and nothing you can say or do will change me
i am myself!
a little more myself than i knew how to be
a little more myself than previously, oh
than previously
i'm sick of playing the same old songs
i'm sick of worrying all day long
i'm sick of letting myself rot until i stink
cus maybe my life's gonna be a constant disaster
and maybe there's some way that i can ruin it faster
but if i’m being honest, i know that's no way to think
cus i've gotta float if i don't sink
shout it out!
i'm just the same as who i was before
and nothing you can say or do will change me
i am myself!
a little more myself than i knew how to be
a little more myself
a little more myself
a little more myself than i knew how to be
than previously
the world is burning under my feet
so i've gotta stay on the edge of my seat
or else i'll fall asleep
or else i'll fall asleep
the world is burning under my feet
so i've gotta stay on the edge of my seat
or else i'll fall asleep
or else i'll fall asleep
each and every single life is important
each and every single life is important
don't you dare tell me otherwise
cus i'll never believe your lies
each and every single fucking life is important
each and every single fucking life is important
don't you dare tell me otherwise
cus i'll never believe your lies
shout it out!
i'm just the same as who i was before
and nothing you can say or do will change me
i am myself!
a little more myself than i knew how to be
a little more myself
a little more myself
a little more myself than i knew how to be
than previously
and i'll be a little more myself
a little more myself
a little more myself than i knew how to be
than previously!
the world is burning under my feet
so i've gotta stay on the edge of my seat
or else i'll fall asleep

The Day After
05:19
|

at 17 i didn’t think i’d make it to 20
but i wrote this song when i was 21
i know it’s not a big number but i never thought i’d see
the earth make so many circles round the sun
i thought my life was disposable, so i’d throw it away
but i never really had the nerve to take out the trash
it was like some part of me always understood
that soul can’t burn away like smoke and ash
that soul can’t burn away like smoke and ash
how do i make sure that i get out of bed today?
how do i make sure i don’t regret getting out of bed today?
i have to make sure somehow that i get out of bed today
so how do i make sure that i get out of bed today?
i miss your stink and the way our bodies
fit together when we spoon
but you got tired of me barking at your finger
when you were pointing at the moon
and i’m so so tired of waiting for myself to happen
i’m so so tired of waiting for myself to happen
and you're so so tired of waiting for me to happen
so so tired of waiting for me to happen
well i know i have to manage it, some way or some how
cus nobody's waiting behind me as the years turn under the plow
i can count em off on my hand, it's been a couple since shit hit the fan
and i'm still here, so i'm sure i'll last a couple more
and i promise you i won't wait by the door
but in five years i'll still be here
after all the warning shots i’ve fired
you'll need a rest, cus god knows you're tired
of taking care of me
so take some space to breathe
take as long as you need
cus i believe
in five years i'll still be here
the day after my boy left me, i spent hours in bed
and I dreamed that there was an black dog barking in my head
it told me "fuck you, man, you are worse than nothing
you are a soft teddy bear with sharp metal stuffing"
the day after my friends told me not to contact them anymore
i baked chocolate chip cookies, i'd made the dough
just for them the day before
i felt their hurt like a stabbing pain in my chest
i felt like crying but i knew i was trying my best
i felt like dying but i knew i was trying my best
how do i make sure that i get out of bed today?
and how do i make sure i don’t regret getting out of bed today?
well in five years i'll still be here
after all the patience i’ve required
you'll need a rest, cus god knows you're tired
of taking care of me
so take some space to breathe
take as long as you need
cus i believe, after all
in five years i'll still be here
after all the bullshit that's transpired
you'll need a rest, cus god knows you're tired
of taking care of me
so take some space to breathe
take as long as you need
cus i believe, after all
in five years i'll still be here when you call
