Coming Out
04:09
|
|||
To my parents and friends, it's been a while in denial
All I've kept is hidden right behind those closet doors
And the things that I've felt, you might not understand at all
But I'll be taking this chance, to forage my way out
You might think I can't be punished just for being who I am
Yet half the world and it's gods would throw a fist at me
I'm scared to death that I might not be who you saw me as
But all I want now is just a peace from all this misery
I'm coming out, you can't stop me now
I'm coming out, please don't try me
In a world where life's perfect, I would love to be free
But our world isn't always what it seems to be
Our world isn't always what it seems to be
Our world isn't always what it seems to be
Walking paths of uncertainty, all I want is a home
In a world of majorities all I have is my phone
I find it funny cause the internet won't tell me what's real
Just like the whispers in the air the world I want is not there
Give me a world I can live in, a world where I can be free
Give me a place I belong in, a home where I can be me
It's been too long and I'm tired, I just want to come out clean
Give me something I can keep, something that I can call "me"
I'm coming out, you can't stop me now
I'm coming out, please don't try me
In a world where life's perfect, I would love to be free
But our world isn't always what it seems to be
Our world isn't always what it seems to be
Our world isn't always what it seems to be
I know that we aren't perfect, that's why I had to get out
If I was born like I wanted, I would never struggle
Punish me for who I am and claim that I'm not human
You say you hate me that much, but I won't apologize
To my family and friends, I love you all very much
But if your view of me changes, I'll head on my way out
I've never been who I wanted, now its my turn to choose
I will feel bad when I leave, but I'm not hiding the truth
I'm coming out, you can't stop me now
I'm coming out, please don't try me
In a world where life's perfect, I would love to be free
But our world isn't always what it seems to be
Our world isn't always what it seems to be
Our world isn't always what it seems to be

Anyone But Me
04:38
|

Slow heartbeats, all I've ever seen
Were people happy with their circumstances unlike me
All I've ever wanted, all I've ever dreamed
Was in the body of another person just like -
I know the pastures are greener when I can't touch 'em
But the feeling that I'm losing it when I see him is not it
There's something sacred 'bout things you'll never reach
But heaven's nothing to me, if I can't be who I want to be
I wish I was anyone but me
All the dreams I've had of being him were nightmares in themselves
I wish I was anywhere but here
My heart is beating in a body that I don't hold dear
You can tell me to love myself, but I
Can't love a body that makes me want to die!
You can tell me to love myself, but I
Can't love a mind that can kill itself tonight!
Born in the wrong shoes, I stay up for hours
Crying my eyes out, cause fuck I can't get by any longer
And these hands of mine, look nothing like his at all
Am I just jealous or is this want something even stronger
And then I question it, why was I born like this?
Feel like a freak that was made wrong, a black abyss
This is the least of my problems, and still it messes with me
All of the things that I've denied, come back to fuck with me
And I don't want to die, I just don't wanna be me
With this body and these thoughts that make me wanna scream
If I'm re-born again, would I be made right this time?
I want to be in somebody that feels like they're alright
I know its silly to you, I know you'll think I'm insane
But if I wasn't born like this I wouldn't know this pain
So tell me, what is it like to feel happy?
When I wake up alone, I know I'll still be empty
I wish I was anyone but me
All the dreams I've had of being him were nightmares in themselves
I wish I was anywhere but here
My heart is beating in a body that I don't hold dear
You can tell me to love myself, but I
Can't love a body that makes me want to die!
You can tell me to love myself, but I
Can't love a mind that can kill itself tonight!
If it was up to me, I'd be reborn again
If it was up to me, If it was up to me
Just let my feelings change, and I'll forget it all
But by that time I will not be the same
And all I have is this fear, that I will one day change
Come to accept what I have, and just stop fighting
Despite the flaws of myself, these limitations I'm born with
All I've wanted was to be the boy that I never was
If that means having to change, if that's my view of the future
I will not give in to these chains that tie me down so deep
Despite what anyone says, I am a man and I know it
I know myself when no one hears that I have made a sound
Maybe you're different, maybe you're just like me
I know dysphoria's a bitch but it does not own you
All we know is what we're not so change the things you know you ought
And if we get out alive, I'll see you on the other side
I wish I was anyone but me
All the dreams I've had of being him were nightmares in themselves
I wish I was anywhere but here
My heart is beating in a body that I don't hold dear
You can tell me to love myself, but I
Can't love a body that makes me want to die!
You can tell me to love myself, but I
Can't love a mind that can kill itself tonight!

Cinderella
03:56
|

Cinderella, she's waiting on a fairy to come
Ball gowns, wedding dresses, she would take any one
Cinderella, the soot she sweeps still covers her face
Her only hope is for a miracle to change her fate
Cinderella is a girl, just as simple as can be
She has one other sister, who she envies endlessly
All the dresses and the dolls, all the flowers she owned
Made her wish she could trade, the life that they were atoned
But Cinderella alas, you are but just a boy
The dolls you kept so dear, were taken away with the toys
Your parents said you were to play with the other boys
But they don't know that you could never listen to their noise
Cinderella Cinderella,
Are you crying again?
Cinderella Cinderella,
Fate won't break, it bends
Cinderella Cinderella,
Are you crying again?
Cinderella Cinderella -
What'cha gonna do?
What'cha gotta change?
Being reborn again
Is not your choice to make
What'cha gonna do?
What'cha gotta change?
Knowing the truth you do
You can't pretend to fake
Cinderella Cinderella,
What do you want to do?
Fairytales aren't real
But they've got grains of truth
Cinderella Cinderella,
What do you want to see?
Pass the world on your vision
If you want to be
Cinderella Cinderella,
The world will never catch up
So take the matter in your hands
And ask yourself what's up
Cinderella Cinderella,
Now its time to wake up
Your fate won't break, but it bends
What'cha gonna do?
What'cha gotta change?
Being reborn again
Is not your choice to make
What'cha gonna do?
What'cha gotta change?
Knowing the truth you do
You can't pretend to fake
And you wanna know
What you want to see
Fate will not break but it bends
And you wanna feel
How you want to feel
No fairy could change you
And you wanna know
What you want to see
Fate will not break but it bends
And you wanna feel
How you want to feel
Fate will not break
And if you wanna change, you gotta be your own fairy
No one's gonna make you do something they wouldn't want
The magic shoe may not fit, but if you wanna take that risk
There's a million different ways that you could change your future
Start with baby steps, but know that fate can bend
With every passing day you've become ever beautiful
For those who took that leap, for those who dared to change
Know that you are all the bravest amongst the rest of us
What'cha gonna do?
What'cha gotta change?
Being reborn again
Is not your choice to make
What'cha gonna do?
What'cha gotta change?
Knowing the truth you do
You can't pretend to fake
And you wanna know
What you want to see
Fate will not break but it bends
And you wanna feel
How you want to feel
Now its your turn to change your fate

Sex toys, we are what you made us to be
Traps, trannies and tomboys are what everyone sees
Sex toys, we are what you want us to be
Trans people are the in thing in the politics scene
Hey boy you're no girl, stop dressing like a trap
Fuck the guys who say you're right cause they don't really get it
Hey girl you're no dude, stop acting like a man
You're just running to the patriarch that doesn't give a crap
(Living the life that I want to live)
(I'm not a sin or an anomaly)
(Living the life that I want to live)
(Let me live, let me live, let me live too)

Boy toy, yeah you are not what you mean
Fuck your rights and your life, we have the right of way
Girl doll, no you are not who you see
You won't ever be him, no you will never be he
Stay angry, stay insane in the mind
Make them mad so that they know to stay in line
Stay focused, don't lose your target in sight
Do not ever be compliant to their prejudice
We're the new generation, the anomalies!
Sex toys in the streets, waving our rainbow flags
We're the kids and the adults you guys threw rocks when you saw
We're a booming population and we will stand tall!
Sex toys, sex toys! Obscene and mean!
Transetters of all ages, come and see!
Sex toys, sex toys! We are what you see!
We will never be compliant until we ae free!
Hey boy! You're not who you wanna be
Accept the fact that you'll never be like one of them
Hey girl! You're not who you seem to be
You are now the right toy, the right sex toy
Girl doll, yeah you are not what you mean
Fuck your rights and your life, we have the right of way
Boy toy, no you are not who you see

She was missing on the night they found her on the trails
Her family in distress, over what might have been
But when the cops showed up, it was but all too late
She had been murdered in cold blood, in dark mud
Left to rot like all of the other girls, the killer caught
But judged to be incapable
He was to live in asylum after what he had done
No ruling to punish the man for all the lives he took
No justice, no campaign to revise
The laws that would harm the people that he had so despised
When the world had failed them, they fell back
But the hearts of the proud could not be easily cracked
We are people
We are
We are
Don't kill me for my gender
I want to see a better day
From the start of our pride, we have seen better times
From the start of time
We are people
He was surrounded by some men when he became the victim
Cold and ruthless to his pleas they assaulted him
Lying on the street he wondered when the pain would end
Knowing he would finish off what they'd already started
Even now society will finish us off
If we don't conform to them, or obey their rules
Yet they think that our wars done, and we've won
But the truth is the farthest from a happy ending
All this time we have fought for our right to live
And we know there's been change, and that we've come this far
The pride of us is a fierce cry of life and defiance
Not just a flag with pretty colors in the light of day
We are people
We are
We are
Don't kill me for my gender
I want to see a better day
From the start of our pride, we have seen better times
From the start of time
We are people
How far we've come
How much we've evolved
They will not separate us now
Back in our roots we won't forget you now
Our pride won't break, we will not let you down
How far we've come
How much we've evolved
They will not separate us now
Back in our roots we won't forget you now
Our pride won't break, we will not let you down
How far we've come
How much we've evolved
They will not separate us now
Back in our roots we won't forget you now
Our pride won't break, we will not let you down
Don't kill me for my gender
I want to see a better day
From the start of our pride, we have seen better times
From the start of time
We are people
We are people
We are people

Happily Ever After

To my family and friends, it's been some time since I came out
I've been doing well and better than I've ever been
To my family and friends, it doesn't feel like time has passed
My heart feels right in me and I am not as anxious now
Since I realized that day, it feels like it has been forever
I am now the person that I've always felt I was
Although I still have my problems, I'm working to fix them up
One day I'm hopeful that I will be happy in my skin
To my family and friends, I found someone that does love me
Even when you haven't, know that I have finally found peace
Despite everything, I'm at peace
Despite the wars that I know I've lost
I will be free, in this world
I am the best version of me
Despite everything, I have won
Despite the wars that I know I've lost
I will be free, in this world
I am the best person I can be
To my family and friends, please know I love you very much
My life has changed and I am happy you still love me too
To the people of the past, I hope that you're still okay
I had to go when you confined me in that tiny cage
But I am free of my chains, I know that they have never judged
One day I hope I can be free from all these memories
To the people of the past, I am long past all your doubts
One day I hope that you can see how much you were hurting me
Despite everything, I'm at peace
Despite the wars that I know I've lost
I will be free, in this world
I am the best version of me
Despite everything, I have won
Despite the wars that I know I've lost
I will be free, in this world
I am the best person I can be
Against myself, I have won
In a rapidly changing world
Despite myself, I have won
I am who I've always been
I am who I've always been
I am who I've always been
Despite everything, I'm at peace
Despite the wars that I know I've lost
I will be free, in this world
I am the best version of me
Despite everything, I have won
Despite the wars that I know I've lost
I will be free, in this world
I am the best person I can be
