Anagram I 04:18
Anagram the law of the names Those who call you control you Try to break free, try to recreate What's the use when they don't cooperate Anagram Turning the letters, twisting the form Anagram Who were you when you were born Those who call us control us, those who control us contain us Those who contain us restrain us A prison of love, misguided Anagram Birth name death name, it's all connected Choosing is power, power in creation It's all connected The prison key is inside of you Look deep to find your tomb Written inside is Anagram The recreation name Anagram...Let no one speak your true name

Anagram II 04:45
I hear you calling... Anagram A new name Forged in fire, forged in flame Anagram A true identity Shaped and formed into a new reality Anagram Your true name Lies dead and buried under six feet of shame Anagram Your true form Is resurrected and your soul reborn I hear you calling...

Toxic Apathy 07:27
I am silent, I am distant I am afraid of myself I will lash out, I will cry out I will break the ties that bond us My country is trying to erase me And I'm angry at the world If you're not with me you're against me In this cyber battlefield But my silence must end now I can not sit and watch this world Rob us of our liberties That I fought hard to keep free I am scared, I am scarred Everything I am I have fought for In this land of freedom the battle never ends A daily struggle to prove that I'm valid I am angry for the woman I used to be Who lived with a uterus until she was thirty three I am angry for the youth of today Who will live with decision where they had no say I am angry for victims and their families Who keep fighting for closure and validity Is this our mission, to turn the other cheek Just to get slapped again By the hand that feeds our society This is not about the children This is not about the Lord This is the death throws of your ideology This is the ending of your false supremacy Toxic apathy is turning into you and me Turning us against ourselves Turning us against humanity

about

This EP started as a look back at discovering my true name and the process of bringing that to reality. So much goes into changing your name. First the choosing, then the integration with others and the legal paperwork and documentation. It feels overwhelming and I was grateful for every ounce of support I got.

The last song Toxic Apathy was a divergence from the name change concept after hearing the news that Roe vs. Wade was overturned and I couldn't move forward with my own processes without addressing my feelings about this tragedy.

I struggled with health issues during the recording and mixing of these songs. At times I could barely play my guitar due to nerve pain. At times I could barely scream due to abdominal pain. At times I could barely write a word of lyrics due to emotional pain. But here it lies finished and I will always remember the struggle.

All proceeds are temporarily funding the purchase of new gear and merchandise.

If you would like to donate the amount of your purchase to The Transition Closet, a non-profit providing binders, gender affirming undergarments and clothing to Trans people locally and internationally, please leave me a message and I will make a donation on your behalf.
