sick of hearing the same old shit, same ideas, recycled thoughts. where's my representation? am i accepted? is it ok? am i accepted? came here to find peace from suffering in this bullshit fucking society. now i feel the same as before. no one else cares. i’m out of place. i won’t let it be that way for me or anyone else. i won’t let it be that way. been here all along and we’re here to stay. under the radar, fuck you, we exist, don’t forget it.

Fake Media 00:38
We are who we are not who you claim us to be. Depict a fake image created for the mainstream. Give us a mask that clouds our individuality. Forced into a mode of simplicity. Hetero media, white media, stereotypical load of bullshit. We are who we are not who you claim us to be. Depict a fake image created for the mainstream. Give us a mask that clouds our individuality. Forced into a mode of simplicity. Struggling to be seen, try to make us something we’ll never be. Stop limiting sexuality. Stop limiting gender identity.

Gay Majority 00:28
throw them in a camp. make them fucking pray. manipulate and brainwash. god hates the gays.
4.
Apathy 00:39
Are you going to get stomped on all your fucking life? Made to feel less than human, denied of all essential freedoms? Get committed to the cause. Fight the ignorance and mindless laws. Are you going to let all these narrow-minded, political beasts silence you and control your life? Their uninformed opinions never have and never will matter anyway. Speak your mind before they take your right to. Fight the system or let the system fight you. Say something, fuck apathy. Wake up because you’ve been fucking robbed. They control your life: it needs to stop. Stand up for who you are. Be proud, be queer, tell society to fuck off.

Overcumming 00:40
you hate yourself because of your own needs. i know it’s hard when you feel wrong, when you feel diseased. it’s a shame. you’ll take it to your grave. it’s not your fault that you’re holding on to a destructive mindset that oppresses your honesty. you hate yourself when you feel diseased.
6.
there’s no protection in the classroom. there's no protection in the streets. there’s no protection for your livelihood when you’re taught to accept defeat. completely beaten, a life destroyed, robbed of freedom, and driven to suicide. if you could only witness the turmoil, if you could only feel the pain of a child who’s been cast down and beaten and taught to accept defeat. completely beaten, a life destroyed, robbed of freedom, and driven to suicide.
7.
false ideas of identity. you’re misinformed, pushing policies with a lack of knowledge. who are you to decide what makes a woman and what makes a man? ignorant minds are called order on something that they don’t understand. false ideas of identity. you’re misinformed, pushing policies with a lack of knowledge. who are you to decide what makes a woman and what makes a man? why give a fuck what someone has. consider who they are instead of what they lack. pigs in power just don’t fucking get; always quick to push offensive bullshit. transgender people are stigmatized, being told how to live their lives as if they’re all the fucking same in a game we’re forced to play for what makes proper public display.
8.
You slap, you hit; a personality split. There’s no difference between you and them. Enforcing trauma a sickening violence to a person you call a friend. A sick depiction of equality, social justice blasphemy. Don’t think you’re excluded from the problem. You’re a hypocrite in the end. Power hungry, a pic who lies to yourself and to the world. Your sexuality does not exclude you. Power hungry, a pig who lies to yourself and to the world. No one is immune. Power hypocrisy: they feed on vulnerability. Complete control over another. It’s all the same. Power hypocrisy: they feed on vulnerability. Complete control over another. It’s all the same. You slap, you hit; a personality split. There’s no difference between you and them. Enforcing trauma a sickening violence. You’re a hypocrite in the end.

The Beast 00:53
Evangelical, you’re so fucking radical. Get the fuck out of my school, get the fuck off my TV, get the fuck off my lawn, get off the podium. Say your god hates gay people? It’s just not that fucking simple. All your hate ridden views are for the older generation, and I don’t need your group exclusive salvation. You force your doctrine and shit on my freedoms while preying on the impressionable to fuel your anti-queer agenda. Evangelical, you’re so fucking radical.

Same World 00:54
so sure of what we are. so sure of what we do. trapped in that frame of mind, but you really don’t have a clue. so worried about what could happen now that your masculinity is threatened. restrictions are set to keep us to ourselves based on ignorant viewpoints. can't you tell that we are the same in our desires and in our aims, to seek out loyalty and connection and attraction? and though those attractions may be different, it doesn’t mean that we are perverted beings. it's the same world. it's the same.
11.
Think Again 00:58
i’m so sick of shit being normal. he goes with she, there’s no other way to be. annoying assumptions are so hard to avoid of what i am and the life i choose to lead. i don’t identify with society’s prototype of relationships because it’s a fucking lie. the media perpetuates an image of normalcy that dismisses my lifestyle and continues to silence me. so you should think again and see what’s wrong. you should think again. this social ignorance is still so strong. open your eyes, and see what’s wrong. open your eyes, and see what’s really going on.
12.
out of the closet and in your face, fucking had it with your shit. you can’t ignore reality no more misery and shame. i won’t run and hide, say that you don’t care. if you don’t follow their rules, they’ll deny your existence. talk behind my back ashamed to say it to my face; crack another joke revealing sexual insecurity. say i have no morals, call me an abomonation. i don’t give a shit, your family values breed hate. FUCK YOU, I’M QUEER.
