Sophie Bee I'm incredibly grateful that Sadie Switchblade is making music, expressing the contradictions and heartaches and sadness and joy of living as a trans girl. Beautiful poetry expressing the realities of the lives of so many people whose stories are never told. Favorite track: Say When.

You can pick a fight with me, it's alright with me you see what you're gonna see, but it's got nothin to do with me The decades have been cruel, abuse unspeakable You did what you had to do, I don't hold that against you but I'm to grown to play your fool-- Rolling tears Sleepless nights Rolling tears We fuck and fight There was a demon in your eye, he controlled your life Only you could banish him. All I did was try and try and You're such a handsome boy, you always put me first I didn't mean to hurt you, but what are intentions worth when the tears start rollin down your face? Rolling tears Sleepless nights Rolling tears We fuck and fight We fuck and fight Rolling tears.

I don't know what I'm sposed to do, but I don't wanna get over you Crying in a bathroom stall Diggin my head against the wall Cryin in a bathroom stall oh, oh Cryin in a bathroom stall shoulda read the writing on the wall in a bathroom stall, oh no I dunno how I'm gonna live, how I'm gonna live through this You said you can't take the risk, but baby life is short, I want all of it And I dunno what I'm sposed to do But I don't wanna get over you I hope what you chose is right I hope you sleep through every night No more pain in your beat-up life Don't worry about me, I do just fine I'm just puttin in my time... Cryin in a bathroom stall Digging my head against the wall Crying in a bathroom stall, oh oh Crying in a bathroom stall Shoulda read the writing on the wall In a bathroom stall, oh Do all tall girls die alone?

Say When 02:39
I been living on the edge of your life and you've been skirting around the edge of mine, from time to time Tell me when to stop pretending Tell me when to stop, Say when. It's not like we ever had it But the past just keeps on nagging It's not like we ever had it But god damn, you really matter to m Tell me when to stop wasting your time 'Cause I don't wanna stop, I don't wanna stop Wasting my time, wasting my time on you And I don't wanna die, living my life, living my life like a fool But I don't wanna stop Wasting my time, wasting my time On you on you on you..... say when

It's a day-for-night shot blue light in a parking lot Working all day with what we got It's a day for a night shot Well-dressed, tight-lipped Talk is cheap but the air is thick Mom was always hella strict Dad, he never gave a shit And it's a day-for-night scene Black and blue and glistening That's how we're gonna shoot this thing With a day for night scene Years pass, things don't change All of us set in our ways Gnash your glow-in-the-dark fangs 'cause It's another halloween Hey, we'll never crack the code Holidays can't bear the load Christmas-colored Jell-o mold No one wants to die alone 'cause it's a day-for-night shot blue light in a parking lot we're workin all day with what we got it's a day-for-night shot it's a day-for-night shot

At It Again 02:47
Get dressed half-past one Breakfast once the sun goes down Fake a crush on anyone We could sit and trade cliches 'Cause it's kinda nice to believe a lie some days I'm at it again I tried, look what I got Worn grooves and a damaged heart The brittle limb that broke right off I'm done with that, I'm done with you-- We both know that's not true 'cause I'm at it again (at it again) I'm at it again (at it again) with my shit-eating grin I'm at it again And if you wanna see some spine it's just a matter of time until I turn my back on you.... I'm at it again (at it again) I'm at it again (at it again) with my shit-eating grin I'm at it again I'm at it again.

"Like a burnished coin from childhood" Like an unfinished rhyme, ohh Like a fugitive who outruns her crime Forever harboring an anxious mind Settles down to a small town half-hoping to be found out Now and again, reflects on when life pushed her from the precipice Is it too much to ask for a moment that lasts for long enough to get it right? For you to keep me up all night? Is it too late for dreaming? To go back to believing? To push me up against the bricks, grab my skull and kiss my lips up against the bricks Time Time does it's thing The world spins We lead the charge And then give in Swallow the love 'fore it begins Were we ever even dangerous? Is it too much to ask for a moment that lasts for long enough to get it right? For you to keep me up all night? Is it too late for dreaming? To go back to believing? To push me up against the bricks, grab my skull and kiss my lips Up against the bricks, up against the bricks, up against the bricks

I drove my car in the middle of the night, I just wanted to see you so bad the road was dark but the stars were bright, I just wanted to see you so bad It didn't matter what my friends would say 'Cause i was gonna see you anyway You were staying in a big hotel, I just wanted to see you so bad I didn't know you very well, I just wanted to see you so bad We'd always talked on the telephone But I ain't ever been with you all alone I just wanted to see you so bad I just wanted to see you so bad I got off on the 7th floor, I just wanted to see you so bad I couldn't have asked for anything more, I just wanted to see you so bad I saw your face so clear and bright I musta been crazy but it sure felt right I just wanted to see you so bad I just wanted to see you so bad I just wanted to see you so bad I just wanted to see you so bad

Cis Girls 02:26
I'm your next worst thing Could be your best nightmare I'm a lot of things like a flaming queer You say I'm second to none, like I ain't second best You say I'm second to none, a cut above the rest You say I'm second to none-- but I'm still second to one I'm your next best fling Your consolation prize I hear your frequency Got demons in your eyes You say I'm second to none, like I ain't second best You say I'm second to none, a cut above the rest You say I'm second to none-- but I'm still second to one, One of those girls

Some days I load my .22 but I don't want to give up on you sweet people in my life I don't wanna make anyone cry but some days I load my gun Some days I load my .38 Crack a beer and contemplate It's not that I want to die it just gets so old staying alive and on the bad days I chamber a round in my 12-gauge pen my apologies and picture my mother's face Some days I load that gun Some days I load that gun (Is there anyone?)
