I Wanna Be Giant​-​Man (featuring Andrew Halsey)

from Your Body, Up Close​!​/​/​Wake the Animal by YIKES A BAND

lyrics

i keep repeating
i keep retreating from letting me out
god knows what i'm talking about
how it isn't just circumstance
that the love of my life
wasn't chosen by gender, religion
but only because they're the best friend of mine
and oh, you'll whine and you'll cry
and you'll lie in jesus's name
but when your child turns their back
you'll know exactly who's to blame
and i want to move far away
but i'd rather be dead
no, i'd rather be giant-man with a giant pacifist smash to the head
but maybe the problem lies in there?
some fictional version of myself encouraging others to care
when it should only be me and the friends that i keep
and i promise not to rid
so take your hateful, sexist
mono-theocracy and keep it away from my kids
they'll find peace in their own way
be it spiritual or secular
but with loving unbound
and i figured it out
we blame it on what we learn when we're young
what lingers on the tip of the tongue
and when a hate-filled heart is all that you have
it's the hand-me-down bullshit from your mom and your dad
so come on
