Just as the title suggests, a sensitive yet anarchically inventive fusion of passionate alternative hip hop and beautiful, unwieldy sweeping strings and electronica by the Glasgow sibling duo of Natalie and Sean McGhee from their forthcoming album What's Bad Enough? out in May on Fatcat Records. To explore and enjoy more by Comfort, see also the other embedded links below, including the track Real Woman, an uplifting and confident track about vocalist and electronica creator Natalie’s identity as a transwoman.
I have been
Holding my breath in
Way too long
Standing in
The places people won’t look
But now I know
The more they stare the better
I’m stunning
This effortless attention
I’m the sun, over rainbows of grey
They’ll cut their hands
Trying to hold me
Normal is
Not what I want
In a world so
Relentlessly cruel
I am through blending in
Beautiful for myself
In private revolution
Decades spent
Misreading the
Language of my built in perfection
Give me something
Words can’t contain
Let the night bring divine
No I’m not asking
Like a flower
Blooming in a tip
I am standing here despite everything
Bystanders will bow their heads
In the shade of my power
What’s left with us in the dark?
I no longer dread waking up
Once was blue
Becoming azure, new
I want to be
Fragile without fear
Walk midnight
Parks on my own
Not look if
Someone is coming close
Smile with
No repercussions
In full view
The centre of the room
Oh, I want to have dreams more believable than this
From those nights
Secretly using chat rooms
My mum’s clothes
Like globes on hangers
And I had to get my friend to guess
I still couldn’t quite say it
With all the courage 20 pounds could afford
All it took was a couple of words
And I was on my knees begging death
For a one way ticket
But now I’m living inside of these
Once intermittent fantasies
All the build will one day lead
To forgetting how long it’s been
Impossible takes the back seat
When everything I see is me
I used to regret not coming out
Sooner but now I
Know the weight of a second
And I’ll be going out as myself
Beauty is an excavation
Rediscovering what was hidden
Ugly was handed down
In these centuries of burden
I’m not ahead of my time
No, I’m not ahead of my time
No, I’m not ahead of my time
No, I’m not ahead of my time
Today is mine
