AR-15s for Transgender Teens

by Precious Child

supported by

Daniel Tase Hayden A mesmerizing mix of R&B-esque vocals over a synthpop beat that seems to always threaten to erupt into nu metal anger. The lyrics share stories of personal identity and society's inability to evolve while taking personal freedom away from others. Pass out the AR-15s Favorite track: Private Water.

I was going to kill myself I hated life and I hated you You taught me how To want to die I ruined your life and mine too So who's fault is it The things you do The things I make you Because I love you A shitty weakling Becomes a cruel thing I have no answer What should I do? I am beauty I am sexy A dumb fat weakling I cum to you You ate my beauty You spoiled what’s sexy A dumb fat weakling I cum to you I was going to kill myself I hated life and I hated you But I can’t hurt you Or fight a memory Powerless I am still Spit me kick me Punch me choke me The things I make you Although I love you A shitty weakling Becomes a cruel thing I have no answer What should I do? I am beauty I am sexy A dumb fat weakling I cum to you You ate my beauty You spoiled what’s sexy A dumb fat weakling I cum to you Help me give back What’s given to me I have no tears It feels nothing In my mind It feels nothing In my heart It feels nothing In my body It feels nothing It’s my life It feels nothing I am beauty I am sexy A dumb fat weakling I cum to you I am beauty I am sexy A dumb fat weakling I cum to you I am beauty I am sexy A dumb fat weakling I cum to you You ate my beauty You spoiled what’s sexy A dumb fat weakling I cum to you

Here we are the final night The final night for you What’s abuse What’s abuse Just trying to drive my car 4AM to get there to be used Escape It never came It never came I never came At least I’m being used At least I have a use A use for you A use for you A use to you You’re changing me I’m becoming I’m losing My discovery I’m using you To change To change me Swim in my private waters You are yours and you are mine Drink in my private waters You are yours and you are mine My fate to die I will die by my hand Is that abuse What’s abuse A state of mind A physical thing Come on now and tell me What’s abuse What’s abuse I call you names I say you’re a worthless shame You say you’re right Is that abuse? You’re changing me I’m becoming I’m losing My discovery I’m using you To change To change me Breathe in my private waters You’re not yours You are mine Sleep in my private waters You were yours Now you are mine Breathe in my private waters You’re not yours You are mine Sleep in my private waters You were yours Now you are mine You’re the fork in my river You split and divide my mind You’re changing me You’re changing me I’m losing me I’m losing I am the river A river in your sea Water inside the river Belongs in the sea Belongs with me Swim in my private waters You are yours and you are mine Drink in my private waters You are yours and you are mine Breathe in my private waters You’re not yours You are mine Sleep in my private waters You were yours Now you are mine

Terrible thing I’m a terrible thing A terrible thing I’m a terrible thing A terrible thing I’m a terrible thing A terrible thing I’m a terrible thing How to be cruel In few enough words A way to wreck So they’ll never forget How is love valuable When they’re all the same It’s really not you It’s really all me I want to feel differently You think I’m kind Because I’m pretty You feel I’m wise Because I’m pretty You owe me money Because I’m pretty You really should know I’m telling the truth A terrible thing I’m a terrible thing A terrible thing I’m a terrible thing A terrible thing I’m a terrible thing Ready or not Here I come You should have left I told you to run Show me how you bind yourself to me I trust you to Do what you want You can choose If you do it or not You think I’m kind Because I’m pretty You feel I’m wise Because I’m pretty You owe me money Because I’m pretty A terrible thing I’m a terrible thing A terrible thing I’m a terrible thing Things I say I won’t forget Are gone Alone Aghast Beget Every wounded soul Needs someone to break My brother My twin My sister My lover The end instead You won’t have another Terrible thing A terrible thing I’m a terrible thing

In my old garage Below tulip trees Wake or sleepy time It’s all the same to me I want you to reach out Haven’t been in touch It’s been two days It’s been too much No don’t rush it I really want to talk Why’d you dye your hair? You said I say too much Don’t you understand? What a lie means? You said you fucked 40 by 14 I am what I am You are what you are I’m not what you’re not and you aren’t who you are I didn’t want I didn’t need I shouldn’t have I don’t deserve to bleed I know what you are salty as the sea You’re a real person I am just Fear in the rain I am fear in the rain Let’s make some Rules for us What we can’t do is us We must call We must write We must love We mustn’t fight I never said What I did Kicked Daisy down the stairs It was excellent I am what I am You are what you are I’m not what you’re not and you aren’t who you are I didn’t want I didn’t need I shouldn’t have I don’t deserve to bleed I know what I am Salty as the sea I’m a real person You are just Fear in the rain You are fear in the rain Candy in my skin Fills me up again Tears the pink away Cotton candy melts in the rain Red fears wash away wash away again Wash away in the rain And so do you I didn’t want I didn’t need I shouldn’t have I don’t deserve to bleed I know what we are We’re salty as the sea We’re real people We are just Fear in the rain We are fear in the rain Fear in the rain We are fear in the rain

How many of you have seen it? That thing standing there Man woman descriptions Ripples in the air Turn your face in anguish Recognizable sorrow That laughing threadbare hatred Swelling for tomorrow There’s a duality When they wield the knife The part of you that’s screaming Whispered advice Those of you i touch Your cheeks so soft and round Like late dewy apples Rotting on the ground Coming down I’m coming down Coming down I’m coming down Coming down I’m coming down Coming down I’m coming down In the orchards near me For fifteen years i’ve gone Culled the sweetest tartest The great wasps circle round Smiling at my island Yah looking at your eyes You play such beautiful music In your bright disguise There’s a duality When they wield the knife The part of you that’s screaming Whispered advice Those of you i touch Your cheeks so soft and round Like late dewy apples Rotting on the ground I wanted to see what i could be Let me tell you what i found Hard wood in my hand Cold metal coming down I wanted to see what i could be Let me tell you what i found Hard wood in my hand Cold metal coming down Coming down I’m coming down Coming down I’m coming down Coming down I’m coming down Coming down I’m coming down
