This One's for Skylar

Lyrics

2020 has just been the worst. So much absolutely terrible shit has happened in like...in like the first half of this year. The first half of this turn of the decade. And people are still dying over bullshit. There's just so much going on It's the climate change, the World War 3, the bigotry, the hopelessness The world is fucked The revolution's coming, I just know it is For every battle won, another's starting It's an ouroboros All we try to do is figure it out The endless cycle has us deep in it's mouth I understand the shit you speak about I know I can't relate, but I can empathize With the ones who always feel unsafe in public Just because of the way they identify If there's anything at all that I can do to break the stigma now Well shit I'm gonna try I don't want to have to lose another guy And I sympathize knowing that others died When I shout your name, it's a rallying cry If it's change we want, then it's change we can make If the next generation makes the same mistakes We'll fall further down a rabbit hole of anger and hate This storm outside has a silver lining When our family names make us feel divided Sure it's bottom talk, but know it's alright If you have to pause after a long night We're all masc girls and femboys We all need money, we get employed It's been a cursed month in the echo chamber It's impossible to block all the noise When you're spilling thoughts You wish to be fine As another layer of red lipstick dries We won't greet death with a soft tongue We're adamant to survive So shout to Laura, Shout to SOPHIE, Shout to Dorian, Kim Petras ContraPoints and Left at London Everyone who sends that message I can march beside you now My masculinity's a vestige I want to give you what you gave to me; a sense of respite I'll take part in the charities, the protests and the strikes The battle isn't over All I want is what is right Shout out to everyone in the community All of us here share a likeness Most of all, shout out to Skylar It's hard, I want to help fight this
