Bending The Erotic Lyrics by This Machine Kills

Death In The Audobon Ballroom

0

Paris is burning, baby
We live off the function
Performing off the normative
Through a kind of imitation
Makes it easier to perform our sexuality
What about you?
How do you penetrate this presentation?
Let's allow the conflict
Deconstruct the category of gender subordination
Subvert compulsory heterosexuality
What about you?
How do you penetrate this presentation?
From which there is no original
I'm tracing this departure in all fluidity to find recovery
These definitions definе me
That shuffle, shuffle in rеarrangement
We operate in skillful subordination
Opening the door from one closet into the next
Contextualize these boundaries serving no purpose
Our sexuality to define
Redefine sexuality
In activity for sensibilities
Blurring in commotion
Not to separate but out of fear of erasure and obliteration
Let's stop safeguarding the straight
Our masks are what we define
Let's start by questioning our sexuality
Let's reject regimes of regulation
Disrupt the heterosexual power play through its own performance
I find myself repeating the past
I find the past repeats itself
I find myself repeating the past and I find the past repeats itself
I find the truth defined by values that we believe for a disguise
And I find that there is no fucking original
We are all in drag
