00:22You
00:23What a fucking lunatic
00:36Oh
00:37Paul, what is up?
00:50When I finally started to truly accept myself the world started to hate
00:55Yeah, all these fakes should die
01:00Yes, it's not everyone but enough people so that I always have to worry and that makes me a person
01:04I didn't ever want to fucking be and it seems into everything you do nothing can be spontaneous
01:08Everything has to be calculated. This is how I have to look here
01:10I'm in that location. I could give a fuck but I'm up for being the whipping boy right now
01:15I'm so grateful that I met you guys
01:18That you showed me existence doesn't have to be so complicated
01:20But when we're in public, I'm different and I don't want you to see me that way
01:24Homosexuality was a capital punishment in this country and that should be true today
01:28It even is taxing to put the mask back down
01:30But if I don't I feel like I've lost because I like being me and you'd ask questions
01:33And I don't want to talk about it because then they fall as well
01:36Then they are setting the agenda and I also don't want to fucking realize
01:39That the moments where I feel free will always be a glimpse of what could but will never be
01:45There are spaces where we get to breathe enjoy this short life that we get but in most seemingly every
01:50fucking soul can except for us
01:52And when the walls are closing in when the moments where you have to repress every slightest quirk only get
01:58more
01:58At some point you simply break down
02:01You slip up and maybe you die for that
02:09My stance against these fucking bigots has festered
02:11I stand up fight for equality for the fucking bare minimum but somehow only for others
02:16They got me I listen to the chatter
02:21When some blow calls me out even if it is the most ridiculous senseless mingling in the world
02:26You can hit back even the score
02:28But how do you internally defend yourself against just hearing everywhere that you have no place
02:32You are condemned to hiding and you'll hate yourself for it
02:39Especially the mannerisms you so try to repress
02:43But there will always be someone who will have it worse
02:46So you get back up
02:48Take that blame
02:49Get that punch in the face
02:50Fight that fight
02:52Until you physically can't
02:55Until you hit rock bottom
03:00Why does everything always have to be about you guys?
03:03Just fit in
03:04Be normal for once in your life
03:40You
