Holly Cinnamon - HETEROPHOBIC Lyrics

Don't cancel me
I'm heterophobic
I'm kinda scared to admit
It seems like some freaky shit
I don't know how you do it
I'm heterophobic
And I'm not saying it's right
Wish I could sleep through the night
Wish we could not fight this fight
It's not the people that I fear
You're lovely people
It's more the culture that sure makes me terrified
Cause when the law is really clear
That we're not equal
How do you let someone unequal deep inside?
And I'll admit
There's trauma there
It f*cks me up
But still that shit
It don't seem fair
I guess tough luck
But I won't f*ck with that
I'm heterophobic
I think it's time to admit
No I'm not jealous one bit
It doesn't seem worth the risk
I'm heterophobic
It simply doesn't make sense
Is this just some big pretense?
That feels to me like past tense?
The ERA's still not ratified
Though a groom may say he respects his bride
When they're standing hand in hand side by side
It's all lies if she has no rights
Only a few of you will follow me
But more of you are listening
And though you won't admit it publicly
You feel the truth of which I sing
And it's okay that you're still closeted
I been there before
It takes time to come around to opening up that door
But I'm not saying anything that you don't know in your core
From back when you were four
And your thoughts were still yours
The latest statistics say four in five women
At some point have been harassed by men
If that same statistic said wolves harassed women
We'd say we had a wolf problem
But cis men make the system
So they can't be the problem
The system is broken I guess
But if I'm a woman and wolves are my problem
Why would I keep defending them?
And why the hell would I invite them in?
I swear I don't hate men
Just scared for straight women
I know we're all scared in the streets
At least I feel safe in the sheets
I know my lez privilege is sweet
That's why I keep dropping these beats
Cause since the old nine overturned Roe v. Wade and our rights
This crypt set a really low bar
I can't believe they passed the bar
I'm taking this way way too far
Want us to admit who we are
Cause honey this might sound extreme
Like I got some mystical dream
I wish you could all join my team
Come on, set your orgasm free
All the girls are doing it
I'm sorry not sorry
Don't hate me
You won't straighten me out
I repeat
It's not the people that I fear
You're lovely people
It's more the culture that sure makes me terrified
I have this nightmare that I have a wife and
We build such a beautiful home and full life
But then we have a daughter who comes home one day
And she says to us both"Please moms, don't be afraid
But I'm sorry to tell you I think that I'm straight"
And of course I will say"I love you either way
But the truth is I'm also so f*cking afraid
I wish you could be gay
Life's much safer this way
And I wish that the world were a place that you're safe
To just be who you are and be loved all the same
But the truth is this country just isn't that way
And you don't own your body
And that terrifies me
I'm sorry that I am reacting this way
I'm not saying you're strange
I don't want you to change
I love you all the same
It just doesn't seem safe
And I cannot protect you from all of that pain
I wish I could protect you from all of that pain"
And I'll admit
There's trauma there
It f*cks me up
But still that shit
It don't seem fair
I guess tough luck
But I won't f*ck with that
I'm heterophobic
Oh, I'm heterophobic
It's that freaky mainstream shit
I guess you've all normalized
I'm heterophobic
Yeah, I'm heterophobic
Yeah, I got a fear in me
Based on reality
That I can't hide
I'm heterophobic
Yeah, I'm heterophobic
I finally admitted it
I bet you all wish I'd lied
I'm heterophobic
Oh, I'm heterophobic
And no I'm not proud of it
In fact I'm quite terrified
