I've been fishing and can't catch a bite

I've been praying, ain't seen that light

I've been searching, high to the low

I've been working, working, working myself to the bone

Now my skin starts to crawl

I'm gon' tear down these walls if I don't get out

I've lost heaven to hell

And I know very well I'm gon' get it back

There's just this waiting game

And I don't know how to play

It's enough of a fight staying alive anyway

Yes, there's this waiting game

And I don't know how to play

It's enough of a fight staying alive anyway

There's a voice in my pillow, it's got it out for me

Umm, umm, 'cause it' keeps mumbling, mumbling

All through the night, I can't sleep

I've been patient, oh, a change gon' come

But that damn clock just don't stop ticking, ticking, ticking away

“Even with all of the progress made in the field of HIV research, a new report from GLAAD shows that we still have a long way to go.

On Monday (July 27), GLAAD, in partnership with Gilead Sciences Inc., published their first-ever State of HIV Stigma Study, a new guide showing the prevalence of stigma surrounding the HIV in the United States. To help spread the message of their findings, GLAAD also enlisted stars like Peppermint, Parson James, Michelle Visage and many more to speak on camera about the ubiquitous nature of misinformation.

"We've made significant progress towards ending the HIV epidemic," Drag Race star Peppermint says at the outset of the new video. "But too many people are still uninformed about HIV and the people living with it."

According to the new study, only 51 percent of non-LGBTQ Americans and 55 percent of LGBTQ-identifying Americans said that they "feel knowledgeable about HIV," while 59 percent of all respondents incorrectly stated that it is "important to be careful around people living with HIV to avoid catching it."
