Keep a clear head
From the outset
Got it out my system
I'm waiting for the end of the day
Keep a clear mind
Keep it inside
Gotta go the distance
I only know to do it this way
Tear it all down
The wrong pronouns
Gonna be the death of me
I never know the right thing to say
Celebrated
Affiliated
Doing what we have to
And cowing to their power play
I progress in increments...
Keep it on straight
Not a debate
Gotta pick a side
Can't be moderate
It's never enough
Flaming pitchforks
Shame or discourse
Picking fight or flight
Unalleviated
Thought you were loved
Force your way in
Inventing sin
Pretend you're offended
And keep them on their toes tonight
Throwing your stones
You're not alone
With you 'til the end
They've all got your back
They tell you you're right
I'm progressin'
I'm without sin
(No way to end or to begin)
I'm progressive
I only give
(No way to die, no way to live)
So progressive...

A harmful weekend
That I could live to regret
A host of obstacles
Serve to confound my upset
I just want to break out
I could try to fade out
Staying in tonight
And I'm staying in tomorrow
Watching porn tonight
Watching 'Des & Mel' tomorrow
All the commercials
A blur of face and skin cream
Melanie cut her hair
Jennifer's got no esteem
I just want to freelance
Don't believe in romance
Watching 'Dark' tonight
Watching 'Tiger King' tomorrow
Watching 'Veep' tonight
Watching 'AHS' tomorrow
Watching 'Glow' tonight
Watching 'Breaking Bad' tomorrow
Watching 'You' tonight
Watching 'Killing Eve' tomorrow
