---safety is hollow--- spent so long in the shadows safety is hollow now it’s all straight and commonplace we must follow backwards to a life that’s complacent and had part of the machine that’s left so many dead our lives were borrowed now our safety is hollow ---queer elite--- nose in the fucking air you don’t seem to care you’ve got all the right friends up with all the new 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 ---straight hate--- 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 your systematic slavery and execution straight hate ---reduction--- 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, fading into the background, voiceless and beaten down more 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. ---reform--- 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 how long will we pretend? ---still broken--- 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 ---choose your weapon--- backed in the corner, and i can’t breath hetero culture 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 ---boring conversations--- originally by: Honey Bane
