about

a song about being transgender

lyrics

oh yes of course they love you
but they just dont understand
how dare you ever rob them of the child that they had
because now that you are asking that they change how they address
you have suddenly mutated, you are nothing like the rest

if you love yourself completely
then why are you saving money
in a jar for the day you can change
if you say this makes you happy
why are you sitting here shaking
i swear we just dont have time for this

just step outside
close your eyes
there are no monsters if you hide
say goodbye
to your pride
to the kind of life they promised you
when they still thought that you could play along
when they thought you could live with living wrong

just pretend that you dont see
what is happening on tv
baggy clothes and eyes on the floor
if you’re lucky enough honey
someone might even touch you
like your skin isnt the sin that you sow
and its gonna hurt more than you know

just step outside
close your eyes
there are no monsters if you hide
say goodbye
to your pride
to the kind of life they promised you
when they still thought that you could play along
when they thought you could live with living wrong

you dress yourself in color and go out for the affair
but among all the others there is fear still in the air
you can claim the loudest colors, but your soul still wants to hide
and even in a sea of deviance you are the biggest lie

just step outside
close your eyes
there are no monsters if you hide
say goodbye
to your pride
to the kind of life they promised you
when they still thought that you could play along
when they thought you could live with living wrong
