every time i hear you say ovaries before brovaries i want to tattoo G-I-R-L-C-O-C-K on my knuckles just to remind you where my hands have been "y'knowww? i don't really like that" like what? "y'knowww" oh you mean that trans lady over there minding her own business i won the estrogen lottery became you average slutty punk girl next door like i get it i'm super hot "but like have you considered that you might have narcissistic personality disorder? i mean god we liked you so much better before"
2.
do you really love me or am i just a stand in for all the cool people that you know before you were hear in this city made of garbage it's easy to seem pristine but i'm made of garbage too someday you will see that i'm broken and dirty my body's made of shattered glass all i can do is reflect you (throw my body in the trash)

Until I Die 01:09
i hope that you will always feel safe beside me without you i'm half as calm and twice as likely to run away so hard that i break away from the gravitational pull that keeps me from collapsing into a pile of shitty feelings and crushed up starts i want to be right where you are until i die
4.
kind of lost in my head these days can't seem to find the words that i wanna say to anyone but you lying on the couch with my tits out can't seem to crawl out from under my anxiety unless i'm with you i need a break from having to exist don't wanna die but maybe it's a lot like sleep can't turn my brain off there's no way to fix this but being with you baby it's the next best thing kind of stuck in my bed these days think all the needy thoughts that i don't wanna say when i'm hanging with you if i was as narcissistic as they say i am i wouldn't worry about you leaving me i wouldn't need you
5.
i wish that i could be someone worthy of you but i'm a piece of shit staring deeply into every reflective surface pathologically narcissistic i wish that i could withstand you breaking my heart 'cause it's what i desereve give me a dose of my own bitter medication hold me down and make sure i swallow what if i can't do right by you? i wish that i could be someone worthy of you but i'm a piece of shit
6.
may my body break as softly as the tears run down your face conjure demons made of salt a lack of serotonin in my brain my heart is made of glass ground down into sand

about

An album of awkward love songs that are also about my maybe unofficial bpd diagnosis.

firestarter is an apt name for Jaye Kovach's bubblegum-industrial avant-pop project. Her blistering guitar and synths sizzle and sputter out from around raw, thick drum machine beats - ember-like slow-burns radiating intense, glowing heat, and flared-out rave-ups that blaze furiously from a solid core of incandescent punk. It's also a fitting word for Jaye herself; her politically pyrotechnic lyrics on firestarter's first release, 2016's self-released Es-tro-jen-z, bring the album's digitally-mutated hooks into shape with sharp, agile broadsides against tyranny and brutality of all sorts, an explosion of synthetic artistic energy that clears the earth to make way for a better and more meaningfully human tomorrow.
