History is rewinding Pausing at frames Just before a scene Of tragedy and Once again the interest of the masses diverts A force fragmented ‘Til the corpse on screen represents their status quo In the corners of the shot, My brother, sisters, and siblings of all ways Are face down dead drowning Draining of a life I understand too well to not feel a piece of my being gray and mold with each death Beaten until my body is Beaten until my body is Beaten until my body is Beaten until my body is no more -- I’ve held glimpses of Their joys Moments where the wavelengths of their identity, Our identity Finally balance in commonality -- I've phantomed their pain Bound thick in anxiety Knowing my words will not broadcast And the books written on us trace our deadnames And each & every cave of solidary will outcast us from shelter Our existence a reminder of the constructs that brought humanity into the cave originally Our existence isolated, exiled until all that remains a faint scream

I was stupid enough To say That how she felt in Her own body was wrong I pushed for compliance To fearful to realize The truth That who she is won’t change i’ll never know who she was when i wasn’t around it’s too late to apologize after she’s under the ground every time i tried to force her back into the image of who i thought she was She got further away And found a new home And grew into someone That i’ll never know I’ll never know who she was when i wasn’t around I’ll never know who she was when i wasn’t around i’ll never know who she was when i wasn’t around too late to apologize after she’s under the ground I Wanna go back in time I Wanna tell her its fine i // I live each day lamented Choking on my regret Each moment of remembrance That i took her life

pen scratched on paper legislating the right to exist but despite the laws of fascists we refuse to desist you’re gonna die, at the hand of the state you’re gonna die, if you let them get their way you’re gonna die at the hand of the state if you let them get their way we’re plagued with hopelessness thats how they want us to be turned against ourselves against our community but we cannot be erased we take care of our own we hold the banner march for prosperity death before detransition.

Either I shut up Or ask to be acknowledged, then told that thats too much - This Is our Contempt Because you’re sick of me And I'm sick of watching your head turn away You've never reworked your identity You Can’t Start with Mine Learn how to care In action, not prayer It’s all complacency you’re static as we die Give yourself away Forge a spin strong enough To protect Those who run To the corners Because the middle will get them killed An unwanted body Has power you wouldn’t believe Hours spent on outfit Time you’ll never spend considering That Maybe im not a woman cleo lyrics: if you say her deadname at her funeral her blood is on your hands your complacency is the reason she’s dead if you say her deadname at her funeral, her blood is on your hands eden’s blood is on your hands
