Irene Cleveland - Star-Washed Girl Lyrics

This is a story of
How I became the leader of the land
A secret queen above
The chess board's set, and I'm in command

I know, I know, I know it's gone
I know, I know, I know it's gone
I know, I know, I know I don't have a gun
I know, I know, I know it's gone

Forever burned into my memory
The floodwaters came and they didn't look pretty
I guess I'm never moving on
I'm just another lonely pawn

Calf-high boots that squeak on
Eyeliner applied by dawn
Local pan, enby icon
Fashion-long, it's my en-passant

I know, I know, I know it's gone
I know, I know, I know it's gone
I know, I know, I know I don't have a gun
I know, I know, I know it's gone

Forever burned into my memory
The floodwaters came and they didn't look pretty
I guess I'm never moving on
I'm just another lonely pawn

To live in the moment
Does not mean to forget
Cherub memories
Like I've never even left
'Cause we're all star-struck
Anarchist girlies
Supporting what you call "unholy"

In my mind, we're all in my car
Blasting Smashing Pumpkins and MCR
The GPS took us way too far
And we are never, ever moving on

We don't just die because we graduate, for f*ck's sake!
We wanna be alt; we wanna be openly gay and trans forever!
But you f*cks, you absolute f*cking ghouls
You come in and denounce us "harmful to society"
Well, f*ck you!
I'm sorry we're more caring than you!
I'm sorry we're more empathetic than you!
I'm sorry we're more leftist than you!
I'm sorry we're having better sex than you!
Don't you ever try to stamp out our lives, or we're gonna completely destroy yours!
You hear that, thin skin?
Bone spurs?
Consequence-dodging, Fate-betraying bigots?
I'm gonna tear open your stomach and spread your intestines across the entire room, you f*cking assholes
