about

Leelah Alcorn
12/28/2014

"My death needs to mean something. My death needs to be counted in the number of transgender people who commit suicide this year. I want someone to look at that number and say 'that's fucked up' and fix it. Fix society. Please."

lyrics

Leelah sat and watched the TV
Flipping channels through the night
But she always found the same thing
One less chance to see the light

Leelah sat in the last pew
Ignoring all the empty words
Everyone told her she was a flaw
She just wanted away from it all

Leelah why'd you go so soon?
We had so much more to do
We will finish all the work undone, yeah
We will find the truth

We will find the truth

Leelah found someone at school
And she thought he was real cool
All that was taken back as it came, because
Leelah lived under a blanket of shame

Leelah why'd you go so soon?
We had so much more to do
We will finish all the work undone, yeah
We will find the truth

We will find the truth

Your parents found a way
To shun you out every day
But you said you've had enough

Leelah why'd you go so soon?
We had so much more to do
We will finish all the work undone, yeah
We will find the truth

We will find the truth
