Lyrics: 
Two weeks without talk
Felt close to the end like Montauk 
Said I’d drive over the guard rail for you 
Crash my car into the ocean
After a fit and an anger explosion
Said I wouldn’t come up for air 
Told you that I didn’t care 
No, that’s not true 
Just wanted you closer 
Still looking in the rearview
So sorry that I scared you 
You know I get real twisted in the head sometimes it’s true 
Wondering how I’d get on without you 
All I see is black and dark blue 
Baby girl always came to the rescue
Crying on the floor in the bathroom
Said you can’t play this anymore
Go and fight your own war 
So I sink deep, wrestling in my sleep 
My talk is cheap
You better go on without me 

I’ll light the candle 
I’ll be up when you call me back 
Too much to handle 
But don’t say you don’t want me back girl
Baby, I’m sinking, got me wishing, wishful thinking 
Oh no, baby I’m sinking, wishful think - don’t say you don’t want me back 

You said the time and place was just wrong 
You got withdrawn, I need to get strong 
I better watch my words, no bridges burned 
I’ll spend some time on my insides 
Figuring out why I said I’d die without you, ain’t good without you
Look, I’m fine 
I apologize
I know it don’t make it right but - 
I apologize 

I’ll light the candle 
I’ll be up when you call me back 
Too much to handle 
But don’t say you don’t want me back girl
Baby, I’m sinking, got me wishing, wishful thinking 
Oh no, baby I’m sinking, wishful think - don’t say you don’t want me back

an #LGBTQ #Trans #LOVE SONG. Happy #Pride.

boy on boy

An indie-rock ballad that protests anti-trans legislation and exists to empower trans youth. Recorded in the heat of the moment, after a slew of anti-trans bills were introduced to congress, this song is jam-packed with emotion and authenticity. ASCAP-award-winning singer-songwriter Ryan Cassata penned the track and shares the story of his personal transgender experience through a must-hear ballad.

They said take that hat off 
You can’t wear your hair short 
You’re just a little child   
And you’re too young to know yourself 
When you grow up, you’ll want something else 
Don’t let your thoughts run wild 
They told me you stay pretty faced 
Don’t you change what God creates  
You’re our Sarah Belle 
Don’t you pick a new name, 
That’s not what your mama gave 
Or you’ll be by yourself 

Hold on hold on 
I don’t belong, I don’t belong 
I’m so scared, I’m so blue 
I’m holding on so tightly, I’ll tell them off politely 
And the going gets more rough the longer I stay true 
Sometimes you just gotta put through
I guess it’s something to get used to 

They said share your story 
Come on say one thing 
That you wish you knew  
The wisdom from your now days 
From the marches and the pride parades 
But have you seen the news? 
How did you make it? 
How’d you stay so patient?
When the laws attack?
And what about this legislation? 
Will my family embrace it? 
Or will they have my back? 

Hold on, hold on 
You belong, you belong 
I once was scared like you 
And I held on so tightly 
I told them off politely 
And the going gets easier the longer you push through 
It’s just something people like us get used to 
It’s just something you’re gonna have to get used to 
Hold on, hold on
You belong, you belong
I once was scared like you 
Hold on so tightly 
Tell them off politely 
And the going gets easier the longer you push through 
It’s just something people like us get used to 
It’s just something you’re gonna have to get used to 
It’s just something people like us get used to 
It’s just something you’re gonna have to get used to 
Hold on, Hold on
You belong, you belong 
Hold, on, hold on, hold on 
Hold on, hold on, 
You belong, you belong 
Hold, on, hold on, hold on

Hi Everyone! It's Pride Month so I thought I would finally release this version I have of Gender Binary. I went into the studio in early 2016 to make a record (right after Shine came out). We started working on this song. Unfortunately, my files were stolen, and I never got to finish this song. This is a compressed MP3 version, only a couple days spent, it's not mixed or mastered, it's incomplete. It needed a lot more work but after losing both the money I spent and the files to be able to take it to another studio, it was impossible to finish. Anyway, I figured that I should get this into the world even though it's not finished. I hope you can at least appreciate the meaning of the song. Love you all. <3 ROC

Gender Binary (Fuck You) [Acoustic!]

I met Jesus at the gay pride parade 
He was praying for us to be free 
A man with a bible yelled hatefully 
And Jesus countered by taking a knee 

He said 
They are people just like you 
And God loves them living out their truth 
They are people just like you 
And they deserve to live just as much as you 
And they deserve to love just as much as you 

I met Jesus on Sunset Blvd 
On a sidewalk of tents and poverty 
He said young brother, why’d you look the other way?
Away from the people who are starving and need to eat  

They are people just like you 
And they have dreams and struggles just like you do 
And I love them how I love you 
And they deserve to be here just as much as you 
And they deserve to eat just as much as you 
And they deserve to be here just as much as you 

I met Jesus at our Nation’s capital 
He was wiping tears from his eyes
He never wanted no war and hate, so he cried like I cried 
At the racists who divide 
Using His name to justify 
Their bigotry and white pride 
Their violence of who deserves to live and die 
Jesus cried 
Jesus cried 
Jesus cried 
Jesus cried 

He said… 
You must stop this hatred now 
And live to help one another out 
You must strive for kindness now 
And learn to know what love is about 
And learn to know what love is about 

Cause they are people just like you 
And God loves them living out their truth 
They are people just like you 
And they deserve to be here just as much as you 
And they deserve to be here just as much as you
