Gay Edge 00:52
Jumping on, dropping out when it works for you. In your heart, in your mind is it true? For me it’s mental, not that simple, what’s it to you? Maybe I shouldn’t question, but I also know I can’t assume. I’m so confused, but it’s for you to choose your identity and who you do. Just let it come through. I know it’s not a duality, it’s your sexuality.
2.
Daily needs, can’t afford to live. Life cut short with so much left to give. The expectation, the standard, the function. Lurking in a world hell-bent on consumption. Bodies used. Forced abuse, being blocked from refuge. Abandonment in cycles.
3.
Fuck the president. Fuck the senate. Fuck the congress. Fuck the privileged few who dare not walk among us. Fuck the prisons. Fuck the judge. Fuck prosecution. Fuck systematic slavery and execution. Straight hate.
4.
Recruit the best For the government’s mess All inclusive Would you kill for acceptance? Killing for acceptance A targeted investment Deploy the troops Rainbow battalions Be all that you can be Killing for acceptance
5.
Reform 00:49
What’s the new trend? How long will we pretend that life is a movie, and we’re reaching the end? You see what you see. They get what they want. Think it’s change? It’s all a stunt. The slow digestion of a polluted message. Living the dream? A shitty investment. Consuming the façade to build their capital: it’s a fraud. You think the work is done.
6.
Queer Elite 00:59
Nose in the fucking air. You don’t seem to care. You’ve got all the right friends. Up with all the trends. All the latest buzzwords. You just sound absurd. Reciting all the theories. Out of touch with reality. Queer elite. Constant disagreement. Always stuck on one side. Privileged militant cesspool. Can’t just live our lives.
7.
Spent so long in the shadows. Safety is hollow. Now it’s all straight and common place. We must follow. Backwards to a life that’s complacent and had. Part of the machine that left so many dead. Our lives were borrowed, now our safety is hollow. Safety is hollow.
8.
Bones are breaking busy pressure and crushing sound normal functions left to stumble and hit the ground same problems exist more money to solve them reporting numbers securing funders doing just enough for it to count while populations suffer
9.
Grave Hole 01:44
Never meant to survive. Hitting walls and losing sight. Afraid of what’s around the corner. More disappointment, death, and dishonor. Believing it’s absolute, seeing no end, like breaking free will never happen.
10.
Still Broken 01:34
Beat by partners. Raped by cops. Trapped in prisons. Slaving crops. Left with no home. Dependent on drugs. Sex to survive. It never stops. Lied to and told it’s alright, but a straight, white cis-tem means we’ll always have to fight. Denied as humans by those worshiping the state. Creating the struggle to use it as bate. Led to believe, taught to deceive, fucked up on greed while the rest die and bleed.
11.
There’s been progress, so much more that we now know. Historical traumas make the healing happen slow. Education in hopes of smashing fear. Hetero bureaucracies don’t value our lives. They’ve made it clear. Money tied up in progress while populations atrophy. United we stand in illness, fear, and greed. Limits of progress. No education. Binary bureaucracies.
12.
Saving Grace 00:39
New Age missionaries Build a new flock Gay savior media Investing in its stock Bucket lists for a travel fix Fix a problem that doesn’t exist Shape and define with Western complexity Rainbow identities creating new enemies Operate to save without context Concepts of self - shaped by someone else Making it your affair Your realities don’t compare
13.
Reduced 01:26
You are not me. You haven’t seen what I’ve seen . You haven’t felt what I’ve felt. You don’t know what I mean. Try to find connection in false relatability. Just accept the fact that you have no validity. Stuck inside the mindset that you can understand. While you create the struggle and wear it like a brand. Dismissed by being told we’re the fucking same. Took the opportunity for your own fame. Used it to get the attention you need. Conditioned to never let privilege concede. Steal the glory, steal the shine, now i’m taking back what’s mine. Sometimes I find myself seeking comfort in others who will never understand only to be dismissed and ignored, feeling more along than before. You think I’m too much in my own mind? Want me to see things from your side? But you will never know what it’s like, you will never understand. You lie.
14.
Trapped in a corner, and I can’t breath. Hetero-culture is smothering me. They want us normal. They want us to breed. Choose your weapon, or they’ll succeed. Policing gender, policing sex life. Defend yourself, prepare to fight. The tools of sickness are fucking relentless. So many odds stacked against us.

Music and Lyrics by INSTED: Take your place at the table. You don't give a damn. The tradition of killing is the downfall of man. Who set the laws on who lives and who dies? For human satisfaction the animals fucking cry. Hear my words. Feel their pain. Eating their flesh, you have nothing to gain. A moral opposition to the murdering of animals. It's my philosophy. To take life is criminal. The smiling clown for the billions served represents to me bloodshed undeserved. Hear my words. Feel their pain. Eating their flesh, you have nothing to gain. Excuses, excuses is what I hear for life, for life it's so unfair. Feel their pain, please.

Beds are made for sleeping But I am shame in your dreams Stimulate your panic and fear Hearing the pleasure in your screams I’ve been bread in hostile climate Tamed to the hand of normalcy Building a war of what sex is for Pushing the limits of our bodies My thoughts are vile--full of denial So keep me in the shadows of what you desire Faggot sex Homo vex Open holes Dead souls Cum inside Make me hide Gender fucked Push your luck
17.
An atrocity uncovered, one that distracts from another From colonial occupation to racial caste segregation Mass incarceration It’s the… Law of the land – captured through a war of conspiracy Intent of enslavement - pulled apart and denied from the start Furthering the punishment – abused for your otherness Targeted through draconian laws – racist cops deployed for the cause Death to the legacy of Reaganomics Death to the free-market slave state Fate of the impoverished, Black, trans, and queer The work of white tyranny is clear The work of its tyranny is still here Over 2 million captives Exploited and recycled for their labor Prison’s operate in the gay white power’s favor
