The Calmness Past Fear

Now that the stakes are trans genocide

I've been holding my head high

Determined to stay in the calmness past fear

Somehow certain I'll know what to do

The terror is shifting quickly under my feet

A quicksand that is pulling me down

But I'm fighting to float in the calmness past fear

Trying to believe I'll know what to do

Queer history is not just a nightmare

It is also the source of my pride

My world's turning into a nightmare

But somehow, I've been chasing my dreams

And breathing into the calmness past fear

Feeling certain I'll know what to do
