Archipelago

My boyfriend is buying my dinner tonight
I don’t know I’m kind of losing my appetite
I don’t think I should let him but is that bad?
Is free food a freedom women have?
My friends told me so
And out of anybody they would know
My conscience is too broken to reconcile
Splintering is what it feels like
I’m made up of pieces like an archipelago
I wear pearls and I sing in soprano
To sound feminine
The way I walk and talk is masculine so that you listen
Are you listening and do you think that I’m right
Do you believe this is what it feels like
I’m made up of pieces like an archipelago
One identity from a thousand assembled into metonyms
Testosterone and estrogen
So take my habits and string them up however you like
Call me delicate and aggressive and kind
But don’t forget I live here under the masks
And that’s everything a girl could ask

Tell Me

Tell me that I am a monster
Tell me I’m cruel and you’re cultured
Make me think I’m underwater
Hysterical and you’re calmer
Tell me I’m weak and you’re stronger
Tell me my behavior disorder
Make me your personal performer
And I’ll be waiting for someone to
Take me back around the people who raised me
Sweet like the summer cause lately
The things that you tell me sound tasty
And the air they’re replacing pains me
Catches in my stomach like everything
I tell myself when I go back home
You live in fear of the other
Searching for anything to cover
That it’s not me that you hate it’s
Just that you’re emasculated
So tell me I’m weak and you’re stronger
Tell me my behavior disorder
Make me your personal performer
And I’ll keep waiting for someone to
Take me back around the city that raised me
Sweet like the summer cause lately
The coal mines in Mega sound tasty
And the air they’re replacing pains me
Catches in my stomach like everything
I tell myself when I go back home
Take me back around the people who raised me
Sweet like the summer cause lately
The things that you tell me sound tasty
And the air they’re replacing pains me
Catches in my stomach like everything
I’ll never forget how you said it
Disgusted and angry will somebody take me home

Where do all the hardcore kids go after the house show ends
When they’re done hotboxing cigs in their parents’ minivans
Then when they’ve lost all cred and they’ve straightened their edge what do they do then
Do they blackmail their coworkers so their next gig has a big audience
Where do all the hardcore kids go when they grow up into hardcore men and women
When the angel of death comes do they go up to a hardcore heaven
Where they can praise the Lord tapping their feet in seven four
And then buy all God’s merch to make sure that He has a good tour
Do they have families do they get jobs
Do they take surfboards or do they take cars
Have they felt happiness
Are they at peace with their moms
Are they immortal or are they just mortals like the rest of us
Who will one day return into dust in the wind in Kansas
Get to the gig
This set’s so sick
