lyrics

FUCK YOUR MAGAZINE COVERS / / WE DEMAND LIBERATION
Pacified by the changing tides
Kept in check as the water begins to rise
Held afloat by uncertainty
Deep down we know we're still drowning
We're done swallowing your lies
It's time to stand up and fight

Do you expect us to be grateful
For five minutes of exposure
Pundit mouths and talking heads
Exploit our trauma and leave us for dead

No closet will keep us silent
It's time that we take our vengeance

Organize and resist
Get a bat and grab a brick
Paint your nails and line your eyes
We're starting fires we won't be shy

No closet will keep us silent
It's time that we take our vengeance

Cant make us believe that we made strides
Can't give us cover stories
And hope we will comply
We're taking back our dignity
It's my life, my body, my autonomy
Here's the meaning of respect
Introducing my boot to your neck
