lyrics

I wanna make myself sick on you
I wanna make myself sick on you
Ah, I’m seeing you in colour and oh,
your abandon is so…

Chasing shiny things but where am I?
Chasing shiny things but where am I?
Ah, I’ve been peering through new eyes
and you
will send me blind.

I wanna make myself sick on you
I wanna make myself sick on you
Ah, I’m seeing you in colour and oh,
it makes me sick!

Chasing shiny things but where am I?
Chasing shiny things but where am I?
Ah I’ve been peering through new eyes
and you will send me blind.

I don’t wanna do this again
I wanna be bigger than that...ah,

I need a minute.

I don’t wanna do this again
Answer to someone in my head
Give me a minute!

I don’t want to do this again
Feel less than enough and
I really need a fucking minute!


Fuck
(They’re tryna eclipse me)



That expression
first impression,
as if you get a second –
endless opportunity
to re-enter a room

So I debut:
shaking, awkward, listless.


I drag in cold resentful bones and demand you to be the fucking sun,
after all you’re bright enough


NO!

I’ll go blind…




I just needed a minute.




Audio grab:

“A time is approaching when the humanity of women and girls and queer people and our allies will be understood in practice rather than acknowledged in passing. I believe that together we will find the courage to rewrite the old, tired scripts of work and power and sex and love, the old stories about what it means to be a beautiful woman, a strong man, a decent human being. I believe that the time is coming when those stories will be heard in numbers too big to silence. The great rewriting is already underway. Close your eyes. Turn the page. Begin.”

Laurie Penny, 'Unspeakable Things,' pg. 245.
