about

Quietly queer DIY musician out of Kenosha, influenced by riot grrrl and folk punk.

lyrics

It’s hard to be a humanist when no one cares about us
It’s hard to fight for progress when they try to control us
It’s exhausting to keep my head above water
But right now it’s all that I have

It’s hard to be original when I am so inspired
It’s hard to create something new when I am so damn tired
When I wrote this song I ripped off Kimya Dawson
But right now it’s all that I have

It’s hard not to feel like a fraud sometimes
It’s hard not to feel like I’m losing my mind
All I can do is try to be myself
'Cuz right now it’s all that I have
Yea right now it’s all that I have

So I will continue to try to be a humanist
And I will continue to try to strive towards progress
Because these things are so important to me
And right now they’re all that I have

So I will continue to try and make my own art
And I will continue to tear all of my songs apart
Because I really wish I was as talented as Kimya Dawson
And right now she’s all that I have

And I am not a fraud no matter how this song sounds
I’m not losing my mind, it just isn’t here right now
It’s okay to feel confused when the world is upside down
'Cuz right now it’s all that I have

Yea right now it’s all that we have
