Not Passing 02:12
Voyeurs come, rabid and spray "I don't get what it is you're supposed to be" So come on, whatever in me I don't know what they expect for me to say My fault, not thinking at all My body should always be a public forum My fault, not thinking at all It could've been so easy but you just stall My outfit drove straight men away They don't know if it's ok to fancy me So come on, whatever in me I don't know what makes them think I'm interested My fault, not thinking at all My body should always be yours to conquer My fault, not thinking at all It could've been so easy but we just stall in your Not thinking at all, you're not thinking at all You're not thinking at all, why make life easy when it's not? My feelings all, peripheral My anger seen as overreaction My outfit bore straight men to me They don't know if it's ok to let me be So come on, whatever in me I don't know what makes them think they get a say Go find Your Fridays And die in them

Lad post Guzzled it down Pride like the pound He figured it out, without me In what world am I allowed? The calm of crowd Navigating the bland To just be, without reservation Fall And I'm shocked When he treates me decently no sexist irony found Act like It's a decent quality not expected far beyond My blame of me One more Hands wraped around My body as if We hadn't just met Laughs and leaves In what world Am I allowed? Talking out loud To nothing but bare walls Concrete Miracle Because you're too good to be wrong Yeah you're too good to be wrong I know Call it banter to help you sleep at night You don't have to stand you've been seen You don't have to talk when you've been heard

Focus how? You can't figure out What was it? Advisors talk And I hear nothing Living now I've been phased And I don't need it Eyes aren't proud my heart beats But it won't mean it I can be out of all sight Till I don't see it I can be a statistic either side Whether or not I lead it I had lost all way Couldn't settle down Loathing, nothing, then that And left to figure it out Living now, I've been phased And I don't need it Eyes fall down, my heart breaks And I won't feel it I can be, out of all sight Till I don't see it I can be, out of my mind And I won't feel it I'm free To a better nothing Better than nothing, you're doubting me It's all better than nothing and you're doubting me And I won't stop, whether or not I'm chasing notes Defeated

Check yourself in Work Through fault That city I'm from Work Through fault State of the place you came from So get a job Without means Try to provide Well I'm beat Incite me Incite me Incite me Incite me You don't get it You don't see You don't get it You don't see You don't Never made to feel like I can say How I feel without being made out like I'm Naive Typically young An idiot I am Wrong Forever silent in my Work Through fault Same problems Same world As we all Wait Upon Meagre governmental reform Another nice MP Here to make you believe Cult of democracy Incite me Incite me Incite me Incite Whose justice are we protecting? Blameless, ever, always lasting You can't do wrong But the state does all And all And all Just work through fault and be numbed Anything at all

Your phone Flash on Embarrassment Can't complain A feeling that you just won't notice My life Leads me Through the bile of your blame A consequence you also won't notice And all I've got Left for me Is vague existence on either side of your shame Again, again Some art punk lad convinces himself he came To this world with one sworn purpose To be the hero to the beaten as long as she may Forever be inclined to his service And all I've got Left for me Is waiting till your drunk enough to say what you Want to say Say it Say it Liberal to all But our existence If the world didn't feed your ego for you It'd be malnourished

Don't know you No names Only ignorance Don't owe you Anything But you act, but you act Didn't hear Or didn't listen Decades Centuries Didn't care Won't budge But there's But there's Promises to heal divisions Promises to heal divisions Tory knew At the age of ten While I wasn't taught anything Under funded schools While the people soon running the country Revel in luxury I will never understand And then And then They put down their money and Give Promises to heal divisions Promises to heal divisions Promises to heal Which one? You're one

Together 01:52
Free love bigots together Free love bigots forever Free love bigots together Free love bigots and I'm crushed How did you set out? Same feeling, I'm crushed How did you set out? Same feeling You hear it all We are all equal But everyday at work I really get it all I never know what they expect from me But they're staring Free love bigots together Free love bigots forever Free love bigots together Free love bigots and I'm crushed How did you set out? Same feeling, I'm crushed How did you set out? Same feeling I'm so sick of hearing about how we all Have the same chances when it's impossible You can say we are one all you like But you haven't figured out how to treat me like one Figure me out Figure it out

Husbands Get involved Hands her Credit card For one reason We all know A false tribute to his manhood as though he just Couldn't Stand To be seen eating From her hands Why do we Tolerate this? Killjoy if I say it like it is His shocked Grimace on But his eyes Follow me all Another person Desperate to divulge Your world is thought in genitals You say you're Cool with it all You call yourself a word ending in ism But you're Concerned With nothing What did you really say? Couldn't hear you I'm stupid Explain what my friend means She said it all before Couldn't hear her Couldn't hear her Explain what my friend means She said it all before Couldn't hear her Couldn't hear her I'm so glad that you can keep it simple for me You've got it all but you don't know what you've got and All I've had is many things to say But it's all dead sound I want to be living not seen I want to be living not seen I want to be living not seen I want to be living not seen now

That sound Questions all proding me I'm proud But they don't make it very easy Waiting for heaven though We're ok to put hell on each other while we feel and no Shite coffee chain pop metaphors will change our broken ways But it seems I never know what I'm talking about My silence is the only way that I'm seen to be sound I never know Could never know A thing I might as well be Content to listen To people Who can't relate to me I never know Could never know A thing I might as well be Content to listen To people Who hate people like me That's right my friend Stretch it out for decades That sound Questions about surgery I'm proud But they don't make it very easy Waiting for heaven though We're ok to put hell on each other while we feel and no Shite coffee chain pop metaphors will change my broken ways But it seems I never know what I'm talking about My silence is the only way that I'm sound Go, go, go all the way Will, you, be the real deal How does it feel? Well I know I better need assumptions That sound Questions I better need assumptions I better know my place As all the people are leaving

about

"It took me most of my life to forgive myself for who I am.
A story I am expected to offer up to strangers as if they're asking me what I ate for lunch yesterday. "How do you know you're a woman"
How I used to wish for years I wasn't.
Denial taking root deep within me nourished on the violence and shaming I experienced throughout my life.
The worst part is that those of us who are simply alive and being ourselves are the lucky ones.
NOT PASSING
All standards are falsehoods
I am no less a woman than a cis-gendered runway model
I am debated as if my existence is deniable,
everyone has an opinion
and it's valid on the BBC to the Daily Mail and the Guardian
Protecting women by shutting us out
Let them think i look like a man
Let them think I sound like one
Let them think I am mentally deluded
I am cultivating in the cracks of their disgust
I have nothing to live for but myself My womanhood needs no permission
This record is for the people who don't make it
the people who don't feel safe enough to live it
the people who will be
the people who are
We deserve our beauty
And the world will catch up to us" - Natalie
