Can't believe this has to be said

Conjuring a feeling much akin to dread

My gender dragged before the crowd

Foes once friends screaming loud

And they deny my gender

Face painted queer pretender

Performing for a false charade

He's not queer, he's gay for pay

Ugly words

From the jaws of dogs

Vile words

From the maws of dogs

Homophobia

Hidden in your pretence

Lies from liars

Hate in every sentence

How dare you

Try to take a piece of my soul

How dare you

Focus on the parts not the whole

You the few

Won't shatter the joy in my heart

How dare you

Hands off, you can't take me apart

I believe this has to be done

Standing proud against the mob as one

Say what you will about the path I took

Misgendering an enemy is a bad fucking look

And to deny one is to deny all

One by one queer voices fall

I won't live knee deep in piss

Queer people silent replaced by cis

Ugly words

From the jaws of dogs

Vile words

From the maws of dogs

Homophobia

Hidden in your pretence

Lies from liars

Hate in every sentence

How dare you

Try to take a piece of my soul

How dare you

Focus on the parts not the whole

You the few

Won't shatter the joy in my heart

How dare you

Hands off, you can't take me apart
