Spotlight from Subcutaneous by BLEEDER!

Can't keep my head on straight, so I keep fucking it up
Two shots to the brain and a puddle of blood
Give me a minute to think, just like a couple more pills
I'll be alright in the morning
Yeah the fuck you will
I'll be another trans martyr in some dead-named grave
Call me the patron saint of pathetic rage

I'm your whipping girl, have you had enough?
Make me bleed for your sins, yeah I like it rough!
Sacrifice my body to the cis machine!
Worship at the altar of the straight regime!

Put me in the spotlight
Prop me up like your golden token queer
And then if I don't act right cast me out, disappear

Every day's the same, it's like it never ends
620 more bills, and the gears they spin
Brianna, Leelah, and Eden, no more time to grieve the dead
And you just sit on your hands While I keep losing my friends

We're your whipping girls, have you had enough?
Make us bleed for your sins, yeah we like it rough!
Sacrifice our bodies to the cis machine!
Worship at the altar of the straight regime!

Put me in the spotlight
Prop me up like your golden token queer
And even if I act right cast me out, disappear
Throw me to the wolves (throw me to the wolves) it was always gonna end this way
Call me the fool (call me the fool) for thinking that you want us safe

Point the lens our way, put us on center front stage
Fetishize our bodies while we're beaten and raped
Paint an X on our back, use it to get more views
Say it's"protecting kids" while you all murder trans youth

I'm your whipping girl, have you had enough?
Make me bleed for your sins, yeah I like it rough!
Sacrifice my body to the cis machine!
Worship at the altar of the straight regime!

Put me in the spotlight
Prop me up like your golden token queer
And even when I act right, cast me out, disappear
Throw me to the wolves! (Throw me to the wolves!) it was always gonna end this way
Call me the fool (Call me the fool) for thinking that you want us safe
