her kisses taste like blood and peaches
something boys reach
but can't touch
is being careful enough
or is soft skin too much
too much
a broken covenant on flannel sheets
but still there's something underneath
a lie i hiss between my teeth
denial sweet enough to eat
and i wonder
is she queer like me
does her skin sigh and breathe
does she lie like me
and i wonder
is she queer like me
is this a teenage dream
is it envy
is she queer like me
washing machine rides
and high school fights
driving twisting roads in my
stick shift at night
staying tight lipped
and crafting wise lies
to appease my do right mind
growing up means leaving it behind
i have to make my body mine
and i wonder
is she queer like me
does her skin sigh and breathe
does she lie like me
and i wonder
is she queer like me
is this a teenage dream
is it envy
is she queer like me

Each line on this album is delivered with malice, and each word hits like a mace to the skull. Backxwash uses raw aggression to vent frustration and anguish in a way that evokes an anger with the world rather than a pity for her. Luke Warmwater
