I remember you told me you didn’t want to be seen
As a boy or a girl or really anything
You said my heart and my body will never agree
And that you didn’t care because you’d never be seen
It broke my heart because I felt the same
If it were up to them things would never change
I remember you sitting on my bed as I cried
And you told me you see me and you didn’t lie
You gave me a name and told me to try
Look in the mirror then look in my eyes
Now won’t you tell me what you see
What do you know I see the same thing
When your sister spoke at your funeral she said “they didn’t want to be seen
As a boy or a girl or really really anything”
As your mother told me “they really loved you”
I thought is this what it takes
To finally be seen
As a boy or a girl or really anything.

Can you tell your boss from a celebrity?
Heaven from hell?
Comrad from enemy?
Open up your ears
Clean out your eyes
It’ll end in tears
If we don’t organize
It’s a core brand proposition
From a goddamn broken system
If you don’t stand for anything you’ll fall
Anything at all
Bad jackets
Collaborators
Kiss asses
Fucking traitors
It’s a core brand proposition
From a goddamn broke system
If you don’t stand for anything you’ll fall
Anything at all
They say the truth is stranger than fiction
But it’s a difference without distinction
They can beat us up and throw us into unmarked vans
And you think I give a fuck about the law of the land?
