"Feeling queer" is the first song from The Gliding Faces to be released as a maxi-single and kicks off the album, Dark matters. The song examines the foibles of the queer community in the 21st century, the community's obsessions and such.

Lyrics

What's with these mannerisms
Someday you'll understand me
Who's here just for a laugh
Our world within their expectations

Laugh at that guy's hair
Obtuse to self-expression
Out-doing the patriarchy
Who cares, anyway

Feeling queer
Watching the world go cold
Feeling queer
Get kicks as night turns bright
Feeling queer
Turning to drugs and lust
Feeling queer
Oppressing the ones oppressed

You've searched inside yourself
You've found a chance to grow
A cup of cold green tea
A batch of burnt cupcakes

Laugh at that guy's hair
Obtuse to self-expression
Out-doing the patriarchy
Who cares, anyway

Feeling queer
Watching the world go cold
Feeling queer
Get kicks as night turns bright
Feeling queer
Turning to drugs and lust
Feeling queer
Oppressing the ones oppressed

Obsessed with perfection
Obsessed with attraction
Obsessed with self-pity
Obsessed with approval
Obsessed with rejection
Obsessed with rituals
Obsessed with jealousy
Obsessed with obsession

Feeling queer
Watching the world go cold
Feeling queer
Get kicks as night turns bright
Feeling queer
Turning to drugs and lust
Feeling queer
Oppressing the ones oppressed

Feeling queer
Watching the world go cold
Feeling queer
Get kicks as night turns bright
Feeling queer
Turning to drugs and lust
Feeling queer
Oppressing the ones oppressed
