Dandelions

Dandelions roaring in the night
Louder than the coyote’s howl
I’m dancing with the bears
To the secrets hooted by the owls
I’m not scared, I’m not scared
What could be worse, what could be worse
x2
We feast on moonlight
Casting spells to keep us safe
Bathing into the depths
All the harm withers away
I won’t behave, I won’t behave
I’m not brave, I’m not brave
x2
I’m not scared, I’m not scared
What could be worse, what could be worse
x2

Work Day

I got high on a work day
I floated through my morning shift
I got the munchies so bad
The tedious hours drifted away
I call myself unemployed
But I’ve got Soy Joy
Can you repeat what you said
It’s hard to hear past the
Speakers behind your head
It’s hit me
It hits me
When I’m stuck in bed
I’m filled with dread
I’ve got to make money
Beg for the crumbs
That the bosses say will trickle down (BULLSHIT)
I’ve got to make money
Put aside the things i love
To live in this gentrifying town
You’re losing me
I’m getting so high
You can’t see me anymore
Cause I’m getting so high
Once again I’m all broke
Spent all my money on weed and Red Gate shows
So once again to work I go
Even though
I promised I would
Never ever go back

Stevie's Song

If you need more queer music in your playlist
I’ve got your back
You’re not alone, I’ll be dancing with you
Cis het patriarchy, here we come to attack
Cis sisters, look out for your trans sisters
All terfs can leave the room
Gender isn’t a binary
It doesn’t have to be if we don’t want it to
It doesn't have to be if we don’t want it to
Why does capitalism
Sound so much like cannibalism
I’m hungry for cooperation and mutual aid
We’re planting a communal garden today
I won’t forget to mention intersectionality
Race and class and disability
Support each other
Listen to one another
I’ve got your back
You’re not alone, I’ll be singing with you
Oppression, here we come to attack
Inequality, here we come to strike back
Why does capitalism
Sound so much like cannibalism
I’m hungry for cooperation and mutual aid
We’re planting a communal garden today
Why does capitalism
Sound so much like cannibalism
I’m hungry for cooperation and mutual aid
We’re planting a communal garden today
One day we’ll burn down that coca cola advertisement
Staring down at us near the De Brouckere metro stop
We’ll be the phoenix from its ashes, our compost
Then we can spread our wings

Denial
02:15
|

|
Some things you’ll never tell me
You’ll always deny them
Deny all these feelings
You’ve been keeping
To yourself
When you could share them
Feel cathartic
Get what you’ve always wanted
Ooh ooh
I don’t like it either
Give me another puff
I don’t like it either
But I’ll never have enough
You never have an answer
But you take my body
And my feelings
You like keeping
To yourself
When you could free me
But you’re so selfish
Cause I’m what you’ve always wanted
Ooh ooh
I don’t like it either
Give me another puff
I don’t like it either
But I’ll never have enough

The bored bureaucrat told me that I can’t have
One foot on each side of the line
But the line was man made
So I started to pay it no mind
머리에 소리가 안드러간다
I’m moshing my way in for diversity,
Understand the nuance and complexity
I long to belong
I did nothing wrong
머리에 소리가 안드러간다
What if I don’t find my way back
You cut my umbilical chords

Bread crumbs marking my footsteps
The leaves told me not to make a sound
my shadow is sewed onto my dress
It won’t stop following me around
Ahhh
Ahhh
How entitled do you think you are
To spit those words out of your mouth
They pierce through like acid
Break my bones
How entitled are you
how?
The twigs apologised for taking up space
But the ground was always theirs to reclaim
Ahhh
Ahhh
How entitled do you think you are
To spit those words out of your mouth
They pierce through like acid
Break my bones
How entitled are you
how?
