about

We all have dark days. Using correct pronouns really does save lives as it means that transgender folks are respected and seen.

lyrics

One movement everything is fine
But any second I could lose my mind
The black pit inside creates dread
Overwhelmed by wishing I was dead.

Feelings of worthlessness consume me
I am haunted more deeply than a banshee
Light disintegrates to endless dark
My heart and soul exposed and stark.

I don't know why I am sent to that place
I lose my breath, my pulse begins to race
Anxiety overcomes me as there is no escape
A nightmare reality in my head takes shape.

I wish this feeling would go away
I wish happiness and joy would stay
But so quickly can a happy moment change
Memories of past glee seem so strange.

It feels like blackness is all I've known
In this emptiness, isolated, alone
Darkness unfolds, my being is consumed
There is no future and everything is doomed.

We lose too many to this black hole
our brain chemicals are out of our control
there are things you can do to help us through
Remember, using correct pronouns make us less blue.
