Gay, Fag, Queer
Happy, Lit, Awe'd
I wrote this language
defined each syllable
denoting each facsimile
Given credit, where credit's due
What's the cost of a life to you?
Stayed hidden, just long enough
but never long enough
but never soon enough
Out of the closet
Colorful, layered, mix-match matching
studded, accessorized
Claire didn't haggle, gave you the bottom price
looking like a hundred dimes
Slashing half off half price
Meier & Frank, those were the times
Walking out like the last season
underpriced, overlooked, disregarded
Just like me, so I flaunted it
Identified with each garment you valued less
because you lost your interest
Never good enough
but Always Good Enough
High Quality, Durable, Built to Last
LeviStrong, Gold Digging, at the BIT, mining
because I'm on my own
Followed the Oregon Trail, brought me,
A Pan,
No free loading, road in, burning bridges
I never intended to mend
It's their Red Sea to cross, and
I'm still here, pray'n for 'em
Gay, Fag, or Queer
I'm happy, I'm lit, I'm at the wheel
steering it
Learned how to "ghost ride my whip"
sometimes we don't have the cash
Still gotta to fill that tank
on empty longer than I realized it
Running on fumes, forgot to gauge the trip
Faith - an inevitable part of this relationship
a Trustfall, into the Abyss
"1,2,3,4 I won't take no anymore
5,6,7,8 I want you to be my mate
1,2,3,4 You're the one that I adore
5,6,7,8 Don't run from me because this is fate."
Gay, Fag, Queer
there are Stranger Things than this
In the darkness,
Where the Wild Things Are
You'll find your best friend,
a bond so strong, not periodic
but, like discovering a new element
Self-respect, can't diminish it
the space I take up,
I devoured you
and just took a shit
smelt like roses, Teen Spirit.
Buckle-up, it's time we discuss
the reasons I hurt like this
You've denied us what once had been promised
The Pursuits of Our Happiness
1,2,3,4 We won't take No anymore
This Nation, Under God, Indivisible
You're the one that I adore
Don't run from me, because this is fate
Gay or Straight, it's Liberty and Justice for All
