WE HOLD HANDS AND WE JUMP
SONG FOR THE BLACK BEAR THAT ATE ME

lyrics

I know what I want
Happiness, it's pretty simple
Isn't that universal
I know I am strong
I know I am strong of spirit
What's stopping me from getting things I want
Nothing

It's not my fault I'm not great at anything, it's
Not my fault I'm not good at much, it is
Not my fault I am master of no situation
I've ever been in, I've ever been in

(instrumental)

I believe in God
I think that's an understatement
I've looked death in the eyes, I've moved past it
And I'm still alive
It's icy and it's slow
And it comes to me on bridges when infinity's below
It's within my grasp
I am a train, I can't find the tracks

It's not my fault I am aging so quickly, it's
Not my fault I'm this far from home
I have never been closer to dreams of being
Two years old
I'm crawling on the carpet
I like to go downstairs
So I go there

(instrumental)

I know what I want
That's the difference between me and you
Trust me, I know it way better than any of you bastards do
I love anyone
Who takes up arms
Against a system that fucks them and causes them harm
And I wouldn't say it's romantic
It's a war fought with sobbing and suicide in lieu of arms

And I know this part by heart
It's familiar from the start
It's that all-destroying smell
I guess this is rock bottom
I've always wondered what that felt like
Doesn't feel like much
I guess I'll never know
You might never know
Pray you never know

Surprising no one, the artist behind this music is a trans woman now. This project may be dead and gone, but she continues to write music with a new band called "Sherry CD-ROM".
