"All I needed was to be the girl, and to love me too. Teach him mistakes are divine. Try to fill out those shirts I never thought I could, I look like every other girl that you ever would have fucked. I lack backbone, categorise me as Coleoidea. Wasted life, lady on fire. Morrioghan traded safe passage for my own name, it’s as easy to fix as taking a pill. “Cameron” don’t feel right, she left me with “Maebh”. The boy I was is dead, the girl I am is thriving. Driving ‘round town with the face of her mother."

LYRICS:
There were complications at birth
An infant born with zero self-worth
He taught himself to dissociate at will
It's as easy to fix as taking a pill
It's dealer's choice, but the player-
He never smiled like when he got the "she/her"s
I watch in the mirror the face that I gave her

Estradiol, tightness in your breast, you're breathing
Agoraphobic yolk cracked out the egg, you're breathing
It's leaking out

It's coming out
It's coming out

Pink Pill

This song is dedicated to Oestradiol Valerate.

TEMP NAMES:
• Een
• Pals

LYRICS:
It gets easier, you look good
Try to fill out those shirts you never thought you could
You look good, you look good
You're so fucking present
Can't believe we're here
Sick of living up to expectations
I'm a stranger you're a raisin
You're so fucking present
Can't believe you're here
Can't believe you're here

Purple Pals

Based on a dream I had where I was in a gay club with Jake Wise and Keegan Tunks (Velveteen Shakes) and this song played about trans women starting a union to cuck transphobes.

LYRICS:
I confuse you while I'm warming her up
I look like every other girl that you ever would've fucked
Now I got your girl here wifing me up
Left, right, left, right
It's the march of the cucks

I confuse you while I'm warming her up
I look like every other girl that you ever would've fucked
Now I got your girl here wifing me up
Left, right, left, right
It's the march of the cucks

Sincerely, we mean you no harm
Just let us dance
Or the dolls will fuck your girlfriend
Leave us in peace
Or the dolls will fuck your girlfriend
The dolls will fuck your girlfriend
Or the dolls will fuck ya

March of the Cucks

LYRICS:
Why does God give
The biggest dicks,
And the fattest tits
To all of his
Most gender nonconforming children?
Why does God give
The biggest dicks,
And the fattest tits
To all of his
Most gender nonconforming children?

Shitty mirror!
She’s dirty fucking wrong
A wet deposition of aluminium
Shitty mirror!
Shitty mirror!
Tuck, and scrape, and break, and bind
Girl dick, boy tit, so sublime
Raise your hands, oh beautiful beasties
Teach him mistakes are divine   

Why does God give
The biggest dicks,
And the fattest tits
To all of his
Most gender nonconforming children?
Why does God give
The biggest dicks,
And the fattest tits
To all of his
Most gender nonconforming children?

He's Giving (feat. Eve Citrus, Baby Zionov, Josh Parker, & deryk)

[3rd Mix]

A cut song from my upcoming album, "Empathy for My Future Self".

LYRICS:
I can forgive the girl, she was sleeping snug
Inside a meat rug
Hormonally adjacent
She's never done anything wrong, and never will
If future me can help it
Future me

But the boy is fucking stupid
Not a shred of empathy for the old me
Smothering my past self

Forgive the girl, she was sleeping snug
Inside a meat rug
Hormonally adjacent
But the boy is fucking stupid
Never will, if future me can hold me
Smothering my past self

But the boy is fucking stupid
Not a shred of empathy for the old me
Smothering my past self

LYRICS:
Wasted life
Waiting patiently
For my time
Lady on fire

And now she's gone

And now she's gone

A trans woman he knew, she was only twenty-two
Woman he knew, she was only twenty-two
Woman he knew, she was only twenty-two
Woman he knew, she was only twenty-two

Wasted life
Waiting patiently
For my time
Lady on fire

Twenty-Two

Dedicated to "Moth" Dé Danann, my Call of Cthulhu character for Jake Wise's campaign.
I thank thee oh Mórríoghan, for safe passage to the otherworld. Yes, you may have my name.

LYRICS:
A teared up and mossy footprint
With no one around to claim it
The embers start to flare up
With no one around to tame it
Do you feel the urge
To break that stone circle?
Do you feel that earthly pull
To join the fae?

Fortune favours the bold 
Curiosity killed the cat girl
Stand in the centre of hallowed ground
You’ll be nameless by the time you’re found

(The Cave of the Cats, the Cave of the Cats)
Oweynagat awaits
(Your closest exit may be behind you)
Tapetum lucidum to get you off the plane
(The Cave of the Cats, the Cave of the Cats)
Behind the Doors of Stone
Mórríoghan traded safe passage for your own name, name
May I have your name?
(Name, name)
(May I have your name?)
(Name, name)
(May I have your name?)
(Name, name)
(May I have your name?)
(Name, name)
(May I have your name?)
Name, name
May I have your name?

My name is [REDACTED]
My name is [REDACTED]
My name is [REDACTED]
My name was [REDACTED]

LYRICS:
Feel the bark
You've been lost in the wood grain
How many rings could we count
If we cleft you in twain?

You ever wanted to be exhumed?
We’ll paint masterpieces
In charcoal with your soul

Take a pill, take a pill, take a pill,
Take another pill
Wash it down with purple Pals
Feel it slide past the blowjob bruises
Down the tr*nny trachea
No one’s making ya, you’re a big girl
I can’t believe you got there on your own

Take a name, take a name, take a name
Take another name
"Ca-me-ron" don’t feel right
The Mórríoghan has it
She left you with "Maebh"
You can take it, or leave it
Everybody has to make up their mind eventually

Comfortable?

The intro to the album, contains a snippet from "Doing", the final track from my previous album, Transience.

Was to be the girl

She's back

The finale. I love this goddamn song. As Baby Zionov put it: "Newborn is so cunty and claustrophobic and evil sounding in the best way"

LYRICS:
For a baby that was born with open eyes
It sure took her 25 years to get things right

Driving round town with the face of her mother
Driving round town with the face of her mother
Driving round town with the face of her mother
Driving round town with the face of her mother

Driving round town with the face of her mother
Walking round town swinging low like her father
Living her life modelled after her brother
Driving round town with the face of her mother

For a baby that was born with open eyes
It sure took her 25 years to get things right

Driving round town with the face of her mother

Sometimes Your Irises Turn Black

The Stare of a Newborn

A song about fear responses. The 30th and final song written for the album.

LYRICS:
It's incredibly hard
To fossilise me
There will be no record of my species group
Welcome to the motherfucking primordial soup
It's incredibly easy
To set the alarm
Eyes wide blank
Expression of a child
Welcome to the Early Cambrian wilds

(I lack backbone)
Categorize me as Coleoidea
(I lack backbone)
Categorize me as Coleoidea
(I lack backbone)
Categorize me as Coleoidea
(I lack backbone)
Categorize me as Coleoidea

You initiate a fight or flight
Feel the ink sac swelling at the petty slight
The octopus can survive
With one tentacle lost per night

You initiate a fight or flight
Feel the ink sac swelling at the petty slight
The octopus can survive
With one tentacle lost per night

You initiate a fight or flight
Feel the ink sac swelling at the petty slight
The octopus can survive
With one tentacle lost per night

You initiate a fight or flight
Feel the ink sac swelling at the petty slight
The octopus can survive
With one tentacle lost per night
I chopped off all eight in fright
And now I'm going to fucking die

(I lack backbone)
Categorize me as Coleoidea
(I lack backbone)
Categorize me as Coleoidea

(Backbone)
You initiate a fight or flight-
You initiate a fight or flight-
(Backbone)
You initiate a fight or flight-
You initiate a fight
(I lack backbone)
