we want some place to call our own
born into bodies betrayed at birth
we stay closed inside ourselves
if I could I’d become someone else
willingness to live or die
I meet my fate the world and I
willingness to live or die
I meet my fate the world and I
led by indulgence
pride in pain
lyricism of suffering a chant of the wretch
my flesh accidental limits disappear
absolute uselessness subjective fear
I can’t contain the joy that this end is near
prisoners of fragile bodies
paranoia in post-modern times
with my claws I confirm my vessel
I howl and claim autonomy
life a long agony on the path to death
obsessive I linger until my last breath
keys to depression I scream at the air
if I can still love me I’ll live without fear
open the hearts of those who object
open the necks of all assailants
if I can still love me I’ll live without fear
if I can still love me I’ll live without fear
