Epicene 04:37
Owt I can do to get close to you Watch a beautiful entity split into two We are not so very different, you & I Describe why X & Y mean the opposite Goldilocks conditioned role play before we die Perseus, Lynceus, fickle Icarus Perseus, Lynceus, fickle Icarus Dirt genes thrust out of a vessel In the name of a father/ yr daughter All potential Done up Whether or not we are one or the othering A brother, a mother Sisters ‘fore misters While everything else makes me feel so small Chorus Man up/Hysterics Engendered genetics insist on this big pissing contest Born to be condemned to masculine/feminine What then descends into division myths Boy/girl Man/woman What’s done can’t be undone Someone, social or biological? They’re as different from me as I want them to be I.D: Epicene Animus & Anima Accept effortlessly Mainly, the fear of castration Just wanted a big hug from my love ya big lug Watch us fluctuate I turned to Daddy-less who just shrugged Chorus Man up/Hysterics Engendered genetics insist on this big pissing contest Born to be condemned to masculine/feminine What then descends into division myths Girl/boy Woman/man Wish I could understand me sadness irrespective of X & Ys as different from me as we want it to be ID recedes neath the belief in hierarchy Yesir! Epicene! Maria-in-Parenthesis Our relief Don’t leave

In Disarray 03:25
Feedback loops Even as we speak Depleted skin As mad benefits Pick up falling bits In premature rigor mortis In bliss A smog of fireflies Damp lantern, wood path Decay The only thing that’s stopping me is you Deteriorate, propped up Cannot wait Reiterate, cannot stop any of the falling Can’t stop any of the good days & bad days I see the decay in everything cos I’m decaying One thing: you are life, as I am in death No sense of humour left Decomposure! Bereft Dressed in salt & disco No, don’t Nobody knows what they do not know I can feel me sen rotting Ever on the brink of sinking I’m thinking, I’m thinking (Forgiving) Living is a litany of loose threads Would you mind if I took you to one side? In disarray, I got a plan (The devil in my way) & pleading at you Knowing that there is nowt you can do Knowing you’re helping me out There ain’t no stopping it now In love & decay Look back; decay My cranium laying in yer lap Saunter off to some non-existent plain Flattery acid Wander through swollen smoke When I think of you, do you think of me too?

about

A song about gender.

Jo Lewis (Umbilica): “The lyrics spoke to me about the limitations of societal gender roles and the ways we’re conditioned, throughout our lives but particularly in childhood, to fit one of two shapes – as if that’s all there is to gender identity - and how restrictive it can feel if you don’t naturally happen to match these narrow definitions of gender.”
