Woke up and what should I wear
I can’t choose.
Do I wanna feel good or feel safe
Somehow I can’t get both
This guy on the bus thinks I’m cute
Oh how he lets me know
My gentle hands turn into fists
I have so fucking had it
One two three
For your disgusting opinions
Four five six
For clenching my keys at night
I’ve lost my count
How many times you’ve degraded me
For throwing the first punch
I won’t apologize
I won’t apologize
The more reasons you’ve got to look away
The more reason’s I’ve got to be this way
The more reasons you’ve got for your attacks
The more weapons we’ve got to push you back
The more reasons you’ve got for all your hate
The more leaguers we’ve got to rise again

On The Verge Of Binary

Look out, it’s a trap, it’s a trap
No way for me to go back
Been mixing blue and pink
How can it be still turning black?
Not sure if these feelings are mine
Didn’t know I should be ashamed
Until you told me it was fine
To stick to rules and practice restraint
But you don’t know what you’re missing out on
I’m sick and tired of choosing between bad and worse
This state of binary is pulling us like magnets
Away from what’s inside ourselves into the void
Don’t wanna be a part of this collective madness
I’m better off performing my one-person show
So what if I feel like a girl?
What if I don’t feel at all?
Does it really shatter your world
When your son plays with dolls?
But you don’t know what you’re missing out on
I’m sick and tired of choosing between bad and worse
This state of binary is pulling us like magnets
Away from what’s inside ourselves into the void
Don’t wanna be a part of this collective madness
I’m better off performing my one-person show

A Day In Life

My cat spilled my coffee
And puked on the rug
The last toast is mouldy
And my car won’t start
(Hey yeah) Everything is going fine
Hey yeah-ah-ah
I’m not gonna cry
Hey yeah
Posting pictures of blue skies
Hey yeah-ah-ah
You see, I’m alright
My favorite shirt has a hole
Of a size of Hong Kong
My boss gave me a double shift
So I thanked him a lot
Some guy yelled at me
And I had a perfect response
Only two days later
Still makes me proud oh so proud
(Hey yeah) Everything is going fine
Hey yeah-ah-ah
I’m not gonna cry
Hey yeah
Posting pictures of blue skies
Hey yeah-ah-ah
You see, I’m alright

You tell me you're ashamed to have been born a man
To be held accountable for all those gruesome things
You say you detest misogyny
But then
You say that I like the attention when I wear a skirt
It’s actually a compliment to be catcalled
Do you even hear yourself speak?
Fuckin’ hypocrite
Shut your mouth
I’m not impressed with your fake awareness
You’re not earning any points
Behind this wokeness front
There’s nothing else to see
Fuck this pickup artistry
Your tricks don’t work on me
You wave your rainbow banners at the next metoo rally
Fighting against oppression that you perpetuate behind closed doors
You condemn the system but you raise a different kind of fist at home
And all the right books on your shelf serve as an alibi
Do you even believe your own lies?
Fuckin’ imposter
Thank you for being an ally
Thank you for your support
Thank you for being an ally
What would we do without you
Thank you for being an ally
You’re what we’re waiting for
Thank you for being an ally
We’ve no one else to turn to
Shut your mouth
I’m not impressed with your fake awareness
You’re not earning any points
Behind this wokeness front
There’s nothing else to see
Fuck this pickup artistry
Your tricks don’t work on me
Thank you for being an ally

Origami Honey reside in a fortress and like all things musically beautiful. Although in principle rather shy, there is a

Thank you for being an ally.
