Liner Notes

EP: Obsidian (My serious angry queer EP)

DEMO COMING: I'm more of a write lyrics first, figure out the music and crap later kind of writer.

Lyrics

(Verse 1)
"You'll never be like them, you are a king
They are your property, just another belonging
An act of kindness to establish their debt
Then what you want, you will get"

But to the heart beating in this shell
I feel the burning flames of hell
Before I can be what I am expected to be
I need to subjugate the woman in me

(Chorus)
All this before me is what I am owed
The map I was given leads me down this road
But I can't help notice something is wrong
The beat of my heart is out of sync with their song
Draped in these raiments they say are my birthright
But the mirror of my soul reflects a different light
Our paths laid out by original sin
Why is who we are not determined from within?

(Verse 2)
"Where is your crown? What have you done?
You've anointed the whores with the glory of a son
You lower yourself and bring shame to us all
Better you die than for the rest of us to fall"

Claws sharper than steel, you cut me deep
Stole my dreams, they weren't yours to keep
Bound in chains to my throne, I was never free
Carry on the line, by force if need be

(Chorus)
All this before me is what I am owed
The map I was given leads me down this road
But I can't help notice something is wrong
The beat of my heart is out of sync with their song
Draped in these raiments they say are my birthright
But the mirror of my soul reflects a different light
Our paths laid out by original sin
Why is who we are not determined from within?

(Bridge)
I reject this crown
I reject this throne
I reject this lie
It was never earned, by you or I
Tear out my heart and let my body die

(Chorus)
All this before me is what I am owed
The map I was given leads me down this road
But I can't help notice something is wrong
The beat of my heart is out of sync with their song
Draped in these raiments they say are my birthright
But the mirror of my soul reflects a different light
Our paths laid out by original sin
Why is who we are not determined from within?
