Architects 02:02
I failed at being trans I failed at shaving and emotional stability Failed to not have doubts Or freak out in the middle of the night Couldn’t stop rolling my eyes At the internet discourse I’m meant to like Failed at selling my body Or working in a library Dragged to my grave by wholesome old ladies When all I wanted to do was fuck right there on the issues desk Then go outside and burn stuff Couldn’t grow out of puberty Or stop the hairs on my head turning grey Failed to find the right words to describe our bodies WE’RE WORTH MORE THAN OUR PRODUCTIVITY (x3) WE’RE WORTH MORE THAN OUR AUTHENTICITY I failed to find love or form close bonds Or keep my parents happy Failed to stick to non-exploitative pornography Failed at holding my alcohol or staying awake When my friends were saying Let’s go out let’s go out let’s go out let’s go out Failed at feeling any sense of belonging Just came apart at the seams periodically But it’s OK it’s OK it’s OK it’s OK WE’RE WORTH MORE THAN OUR RESPECTABILITY (x3) WE’RE ALL ARCHITECTS OF OUR OWN DESTRUCTION ANYWAY

Fuck this fucking country Every racist Grindr guy Fuck this fucking country Every word the papers say Fuck this fucking country Passport checks in surgeries Fuck this fucking country Pick a story pick a day Fuck this country (x2) National day of mourning but then so was the century only an asshole would be proud of their country (x2) From the wrong place?

Future/Past 01:43
In the future the past Will come bite you on the ass Maybe on your deathbed Whether prolonged or short And you’re shaking at the knees And you will be undone Here it comes here it comes Here it comes here it comes And the older you get The harder it becomes To pretend you are friendly Good kind and strong And your insides are creaking Yes they’re falling apart And your nemesis is coming He is shaped like your heart In the future the past Will come bit you on the ass Maybe on your deathbed Whether prolonged or short And you’re shaking at the knees And you will be undone Here it comes here it comes Here it comes here it comes Here it comes here it comes HERE IT COMES HERE IT COMES!

Carriage 01:14
All the boys in the carriage Thinking they’re so tough Trying to work out if you’ve got a dick or not They look you up and down And they look you in the crotch You look them in the eye Pretend there’s something they forgot They scrabble for their phones Parts of us we’re meant to hate But boy or girl I won’t ever be straight (x2) All the guys with their mates They’re all fronting up Trying to decide if you’re a boy or girl or what Something they can beat or something they can fuck Can’t look you in the eye But they all talk so tough Get them when they’re alone Parts of us we’re meant to hate But boy or girl I won’t ever be straight (x2) I won’t ever be straight I won’t ever be straight PARTS OF US WE’RE MEANT TO HATE BUT BOY OR GIRL I WON’T EVER BE STRAIGHT!

Dog 01:29
When I said I wanted to be your dog I only meant so you could tie me up I only meant so I could lick the crumbs That fell under your table I only meant so you could walk me around All naked on the floor with my nose to the ground On a leash And have me doing tricks for you I don't wanna pretend that I don't feel anything (x3) But I don't wanna say anything Girl you’re not the girl of my dreams No you’re more like a symptom of low self-esteem And boy you’re not a boy to rival James Dean Just a fleeting distraction in a habitual bad dream But I’m still chasing sticks for you I don't wanna pretend that I don't feel anything (x3) But I don't wanna say anything
