Reclaiming
Reclaiming
all the wasted years
trapped inside my closet
taking back my body
Renaming
myself and taking back
all the summers that I lost
to my suffering and pain
the skeleton helped the flowers grow
the darkness enables light to glow
I’m screaming
ideas above my station
break the quiet desparation
of a life so compromised
I’m waiting
for the day when I
can say i’m doing fine
and it won’t be a lie
All the people I never kissed
all the chances that i missed
all the stupid teenage kicks
I’m taking it all back x4
the skeleton helped the flowers grow
the darkness enables light to glow

Empty Spaces

Empty Spaces
Empty spaces in the city centre
empty spaces in suburbia
in the bedroom, in the office
in the telephone exchange
Abandoned places in my mind
the vacancy behind your eyes
a moment there that occupies
a fleeting thought of suicide
Drowning in the summer heat
allergies and hot concrete
I walk alone all afternoon
dying in my boy clothes
Walking along the promenade
dead malls and half empty arcades
fake western bars and old theme parks
rusting in the salty breeze
Empty spaces in the city centre
empty spaces in suburbia
in the bedroom, in the office
in the telephone exchange
It’s so close and i can’t breathe
oh it’s 32 degrees
waiting for a bus to come
and take me from this place

Big for a girl

Too big for a girl
You said I’m too big for a girl
well i feel small in this world
what gives me away?
Is it my hands or my feet
I told you my pronouns
but you stil misgender
are you so stupid?
did you misremember?
I’m not a part of some
toxic agenda
i’m not a freak and i’m
not an offender
I’m not a monster
so get off my turf
I’m so ashamed that
we share the same earth
CHORUS
I’m human and that’s more
that you’ll ever be
you’re nothing more
than a bigot to me
talking to you is a
drain on my health
why do you hate me
for being myself

Coffee & Citalopram
Coffee And Citalopram
was all I had for breakfast
then for lunch I had some air
the rest was all a blur
my body is a ticking clock
my mind is set to meltdown
with borderline energy
and dysphoric apathy
My mind is spinnin out again
i’m looking for direction
i tried reaching out to you
but can’t make a connection
Scream out in silence
Echoes of violence
voices surround me
you almost drowned me
Dying on your waiting list
I count the weeks and hours
sitting in an empty room
smell of bleach and plastic flowers

Elephant
You make me feel
like an elephant
in a swimming pool
You make me feel
so broken inside
like I’m nothing
You make me feel
so awkward like
i’m back in school
I’m so strange i know
in my awkward shoes
my awkwardness
is an invitation to you
when is the operation?
you are so fascination
you almost look like
the real thing to me
I’m so special needs
see your mocking smile
like an antelope
to a crocodile
I’m so brave i know
you tell me every time
I’m glad I could
amuse you for a while

ireallyliketocook
This is the parlour and this is the kitchen
and this is the bin where I put all my mess in
ireallyliketocook x 4
and my favourite room is the same as matika
i made you your tea, it's baked beans and paprika
here is the saucepan and here is the sizzle
and here is the drumstick an and here comes the twizzle
ireallyliketocook x4
and a fry up on friday, burritos on fire
i lost all my eggs making verlorne eier
this is my dumb luck and this is my chicken
and this is my basket i put all my eggs in
ireallyliketocook x4
and my favourite room is the same as matika
i made you your tea, it's baked beans and paprika

lo-fi hip hop beats to quarantine to
when i see you again?
don’t know but i miss you
it’s empty
all down the street
hold on, mydarling
we can get thru this
good times will come again
on a night like this
all is quiet in the neighborhood
when i see
you again
i will hold you
in my arms
i will kiss you

Admiral Jazz
Red hot saxophones spit
molten streams of notes
the cymbal splash and
snare drum crash
the female bass
vibrating
walk the streets
night train
city rain
drip! drip! drop!
the windopane
memories in a
picture frame (x2)
A song drifts in
from America
on the speaker
in the cafe
on the corner of a cold dark street
Distended melodies
over half cracked cymbals
send me reeling
you cracked my egg
ran down your thighs
blew my mind wide open
dripping real time feeling
in my sleepless heart
sending letters and revealing
break me open rearrange me
you enstrange me
heart comes out in crystal flowers
dripping down in syncopated time
breaking freedom from your meaning
free from your intentions
signifiers set on fire

Gaia’s Lament
You destroy everything
you’re raping the planet
for a few dollars more
in your back pocket
you exploit the workers
you grind them to dust
they make the bread
but they beg for the crust
you turned the forest
into a landfill
you turned the ocean
into a sewer
you turned the clear sky
into a black void
You robbed me of my
childhood and my dreams
we’re gonna sabotage
and destroy your machine

Streetlights and Rainfalls
Rain falls in waves
I can’t contain
voices echo inside
like the sea in a shell
Here in my cave
no I can’t say
If this is my home
or I am in hell
Streetlights and rain falls
down in your eyes
you wore a permanent disguise
The sun goes down
in the burning sky
as the curtain falls
across our stage
Buy me some comfort
buy me some time
sell me the meaning
of my life
Streetlights and rain falls
down in your eyes
you wore a permanent disguise
Give me a reason
and some rhyme
can’t think of a thing
to follow this line
tell me a story
of suburban pain
write a symphony
of the everyday

Summer Fades
Summer fading
leaves are
changing
nights getting
longer
air gets
colder
we grow
older
Samhain
comes soon
change in
the moon
