    Not as far away as I'd hoped.
    Has anyone heard the True Trans EP yet? If not it's still available here for free: Against Me! It's two acoustic tracks from Laura Jane Grace as a preview for the Transgender Dysphoria Blues album.

    I was in a pretty depressing mood already when I heard it but I'm honestly blown away, especially by the last few lines in True Trans Soul Rebel.

    Lyrics, just be warned for suicide imagery:
    All dressed up and nowhere to go,
    Walking the streets all alone.
    Another night you wish you could forget,
    Making yourself up as you go along.

    Who's gonna take you home tonight?
    Does God bless your transsexual heart, True Trans Soul Rebel?

    Yet to be born, you're already dead,
    You sleep with a gun beside you in bed.
    You follow through to the obvious end:
    See your veins wide open,
    You bleed it out.

    You should've been a mother,
    You should've been a wife.
    You should've been gone from here years ago,
    You should be living a different life.

    Who's gonna take you home tonight?
    Does God bless your transsexual heart, True Trans Soul Rebel?

    This one is amazing too but not on the EP: [YOUTUBE]Kffrh5N6hC4[/YOUTUBE]
    Lyrics, super depressing as you can guess from the title:
    Your tells are so obvious,
    shoulders too broad for a girl.
    It keeps you reminded,
    helps you remember where you come from.

    You want them to notice
    the ragged ends of your summer dress.
    You want them to see you
    like they see every other girl.
    They just see a faggot.
    They'll hold their breath not to catch the sick.

    Washed off on the coast,
    I wish I could've spent the whole day
    alone with you.
    With you.

    You've got no cunt in your strut.
    You've got no hips to shake.
    And you know it's obvious,
    but we can't choose how we're made.

    You want them to notice
    the ragged ends of your summer dress.
    You want them to see you
    like they see every other girl.
    They just see a faggot.
    They'll hold their breath not to catch the sick.

    Washed off on the coast
    I wish I could've spent the whole day
    alone with you.
    With you.

    'And you know it's obvious, but we can't choose how we're made.'

    I've been trying to write my own lyrics, but I don't know that they're very good...
