about

No matter who wins the election, healthcare rights for women and LGBT people will still be under attack, especially with ACB now criticising marriage equality and Roe v. Wade.
100% of proceeds from this single will go to Planned Parenthood (I'll post receipts on Facebook and Instagram).

We may vote 45 out of office, but we still have to work to take down the infrastructure and the institutionalised bigotry that allowed him to be elected in the first place.

Daughter is an older song about the fear and dangers of bringing a child into the world.

lyrics

Once I wanted you
A small point of light
A small human instinct
Or choosing a side
Once I hated you
For the things I would lose
I think I miss you now
You're easy to use

And is it selfish robbing you of all the light you could be?
The one thing that's not temporary
The one thing that's not about me

People come and go
Take what they need
Cycle through the days
The way we've agreed
But you'll never hurt me
You'll never lie
You'll never leave me
You'll never die

And is it selfish robbing you of all the light you could be?
The one thing that's not temporary
The one thing that's not about me

And all this searching
All I wanted
All you could have been
You're not an answer
You are human
You never could let me win

And is it selfish robbing you of all the light you could be?
The one thing that's not temporary
The one thing that's not about me
