about

This is the 4th song off our upcoming album, "Wounded". To celebrate International Transgender Day of Visibility, I (Eve, a trans woman) have decided to share this new song with the TBG family a little earlier than anticipated. *ALL PROCEEDS MADE ON BANDCAMP FROM WEDNESDAY, MARCH 31 TO FRIDAY, APRIL 2 WILL BE DONATED TO NORTHWEST ARKANSAS EQUALITY TO HELP SUPPORT THEIR IMPORTANT WORK DURING THIS DIFFICULT TIME*.

"Wounded" will be out later this summer. More news on that to come. For now, please enjoy the music and support your favorite trans artists/people!

lyrics

Dog-tired in August
Left two twins
Bitter on the concourse
Bright light and heat
Bounced off your glasses
Trauma spent on a life’s worth of mistakes
I’d rather peel my eyes open with a can-opener of perpetuated trauma
All I have is you and that is ok
Because no one likes to be alone
Here in this realm of sin we are just impulses
They run through my head and tell me that I am just flesh and blood
They run through my head and tell me that I am just bone and dream
Flesh and blood, bone and dream
Of a time when we were safe
I can hear your voice but I can’t see you
I can hear your words but I cannot embrace you here, and all my apologies mean nothing when I can’t be there
Dream of a time when we were safe
Make it our home, wish for that day
