LOOK TOO CLOSE! ZOOM IN ON THE HAIR! SEE IF I CARE!

from The Median's Ark by Roxy Radclyffe

lyrics

look too fucking close
look too fucking close
deep beyond the clothes
deep beyond the clothes
meet me on the ropes
meet me on the ropes
keep this breed afloat
keep this breed afloat

Now that my strength is making it to the main stage
I'd like to think a bit on where else it takes me
See we love the concept of a shape-based positivity
But can't seem to get down to the specificity

I got the sweetest buckteeth making my smile cuter
And my lover thinks my jagged boney form is hot as fuck
So I sure as hell don't need spinal symmetry for appearance reasons
Let's make that shit the least of our curve-oriented concerns

SO I'LL SPARKLE LIKE CRAB
MEOW HIGH
I GO WON'T STOP
THINGS WILL STAY THE NUDE
BREAK THE BEST KEEP
ONTO AWFUL THROWS
AH, AH, AH, HAHAHAHA

[...]

(keep looking)

[...]

What a mess, what mess
What a mess she's strategically placed
What a mess of your screen will be made

Drop back into the rainbow core
Sparkle on for a wednesday evening
Bitches like me getting pitchy with it again
You can't stand it but I do it anyway

YES I KNOW YOU ALREADY TUNED ME OUT
SO I SCREAM AGAIN WITH A CLASHING CHANT
REINFORCE BELIEF IN THE HOPE SHE MADE
LALALALALALALALALA

take your first click in position
quit being so fuckin vicious
though either way you can't do shit

i'll remain presented in any state
doesn't matter to me, think in empowering ways
my form is only broken in the eye of a -phobic beholder
so i'm inviting you, just try to leave me deconstructed

take a crack, kiss my ass
analyze every pore, i'm a whore
stroke the fur, still a her
and you love every minute
cuz in the same breath as ur hate
u wish for us to stay in the marketplace of fantasia

so those are the real freaks
and i won't let them in me that easily
i'm just demonstrating the love i'm made of
showing u that even uneven things don't need ur thanks
now prepare for my final speech

[...]

my pieces all so visible
i'll be so vulnerable
make ur experience so skeletal
oh babe her stems are showing
that's the now-minimal effect of perceived 'ugliness' on me

and if you thought i was done with you
i'm afraid your shitstain was sorely mistaken
cuz i'm ready to break in a new sequence of beams
which is still only the beginning of my rage & reclamation
