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

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

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

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
