lyrics

Would you tell me that my eyes aren't green
'coz you know my body better than me?
Would you break the law for a greater cause
of would you straight up call the police?

I'm done explaining to you
That there's more than one and two
'coz you'll tell me that my eyes aren't green
if you've never seen,
eyes that aren't brown or blue.

You're the Binary Police
but you can't touch me.
I've heard every argument
that you could argue and
I hear them in my head
when I'm trying to sleep.

You're the Binary Police
and you can't catch me.
I've done time in your jail cell,
escaped from male hell.
You think I don't know what
it feels like to be free?

Would you tell me how to spell my name
'coz you know a hundred others spell it the same?
Do you really think you know
more about me even though
I'm living it every day?

It's a matter of respect,
and if you care about being correct.
But if you're happy to be wrong,
just call me what you want.
Don't expect me to waste my breath
on the

You're the Binary Police
but you can't touch me.
I've heard every argument
that you could argue and
I hear them in my head
when I'm trying to sleep.

You're the Binary Police
and you can't catch me.
I've done time in your jail cell,
escaped from male hell.
You think I don't know what
it feels like to be free?

And if I make your life so difficult
why do you not even seem to try
to see my side, if you're so critical
why do you refuse to criticise
the bile, the spite, you spit in my eye
while you tell me it's not green
and I don't have the right to
fight or scream.

And if you're always being silenced
why is your voice always louder than mine?
If I'm the one who's violent
then why am I scared for my life?

Fix Your Heart or Die
'Coz I don't have time

to fix it for you.
