i wrote this song around 5 years ago when I had been on a long, seemingly unmoving waiting list for 3 years with no clear end in sight. when I revisited this song recently I tried to rewrite the words to reflect some understanding of WHY it isn't fair, but I'm not a smart enough writer to fit this into the song so I decided to leave the lyrics as they were when i wrote them in that amorphous, bending stretch of fuckery

sneezes telling on you
torn up bloody tissues
they will let themselves in
they will go through the bins
i've got nothing left to hide
pockets turned out , mouth wide
the waiting lists we cant wade through
it isnt fair , it isnt fair , it isnt fair
it isnt , it isnt , no it isn't fair
why should we wait around leaving our lives on the line ?
misgendered in clinic letters
i'm trying to feel better
this is not helping that
if you've got nothing to hide
why feel unsafe at night ?
is something stuck in your skull ?
well if it is its not surprising is it ?
it isnt fair , it isnt fair , it isnt fair
it isnt , it isnt , no it isn't fair
you deserve so much more than the state will provide
it isnt fair , it isnt fair , it isnt fair
it isnt , it isnt , no it isn't fair
you deserve so much more than the state will allow
it isnt fair , it isnt fair , it isnt fair
it isnt , it isnt , no it isn't fair
you deserve so much more than the state will allow
