What do you see when you look at me?
A child’s eyes, hands, and teeth
Expectations caving under the weight of femininity
I keep forgetting small pieces of me
Believing in the lie of our incompetency
Forfeiting my agency
When I know who ate the apple from the tree
Bite your bitter tongue / Keep your hands in your pockets
Questions, questions I never even asked
Answering questions raised in your head
Questions, questions sticking in your jaw
Assuming ignorance, assigning a flaw
What gave you the notion
Who gave you the right
Told from the outset this is not your fight
You see yourself in everything
Less knowledge than ego
And faith in masculinity
But I am tired and don’t want your blessing
I will cut off your helping hand
I am my own savior
Bite your bitter tongue / Keep your hands in your pockets
A fantastic album. I can see why they didn't continue under the name The Evens, as it's a different sound with the bass added. Coriky is the Evens + Joe Lally from Fugazi on bass. If you can imagine The Evens with a slightly more funky, aggressive sound like Fugazi... that's what you get! And there's no way that can ever go wrong. What a great debut album!! smiledozer
Queer punk is the truest punk.
Angry at endless, tedious, loathsome, dangerous, fascist bottom feeders and I love every vitriolic second of it. Xx RheDYn griFFiN ⚧
