walking back home from his house, passing your place where I would've been before
well I could go over to settle the score but you might find that I donāt really care anymore
no I can't believe how close it got, how miserable I would've been in your arms you said ādon't worry, it's not about you,ā well that's good to know cause I could say the same to you
you say you're playing a part, that it ain't real and I'll learn to suck it up
Mr. Hookline with the right rhymes, but the wrong start
so tell your story and itāll be worth their time, but you weren't worth mine no Mr. Hookline
you're someone so unusual but that doesn't mean I could love you like I should
been tearing up holes in my blouses but they still fit better than your leather jacket could
see even I have got the decency to change the facts to save your feelings you said ādon't worry, it's not about youā well that's good to know cause I could say the same to you
you say you're playing a part
that it ain't real and I'll learn to suck it up
Mr. Hookline with the right rhymes, but the wrong start
so tell your story and it'll be worth their time but you weren't worth mine no, you'll be in the same room with your same old tools and Iāll be just fine you know, Mr. Hookline

got this idea but itās trapped inside
I need you here with me to bring it to life
if we talk weāll feel a whole lot better
nothing exciting ever happens when weāre not together
stop putting pressure on yourself
so much is going on and that never helps
but we can make our own mistakes together wouldnāt that be better?
cause you complete me, believe me
nothing compares to the life that we share
donāt worry, I got you always
anything for my everything
your presence is precious to me
(your presence is precious to me)
your presence is precious to me
(your presence is precious to me)
I take one look at you and I canāt believe the universe was finally kind enough for us to meet
canāt you see the world is ours tonight? letās just get out there now, we can make it alright
cause you complete me, believe me
nothing compares to the life that we share
donāt worry, I got you always
anything for my everything
your presence is precious
your presence is precious

Androgynous

underneath this roof where you grew my hair long like girls are meant to
your picture perfect view right on the track I was bound to
tell me, am I a shadow of you?
underneath your sigh, that vacant silent veil of denial
kept me by your side, draining the life from my eyes
tell me, am I a shadow of you?
tell me Iām not a shadow of you
I threw away all of the dresses you wore just to feel something special
I wish I couldāve told you, you never had to put up a front to feel beautiful
oh no, I donāt miss you now youāre gone
but I still feel your soul in my own so, tell me Iām not a shadow of you
no, I canāt be a shadow of you, no
this is the real me, so take what you got
sorry to say but your days are long gone, cause I am androgynous

he calls me late today, this is his routine gesture
he falls asleep on the phone, but I stay up and wonder
oh darling, would you come over tonight?
I'll just hang up quietly, it'll be fine cause I
wanna love in evening glitter
sink into hands so tender
wanna get a little bit closer
you're my reality sinner
oh oh woah oh
you're my reality sinner
oh oh woah oh
you're my reality sinner
my sheets are made of lies, but in my dreams I'm faithful
he's always so polite, won't scratch the surface level
so darling, would you come over tonight?
I'll just act like nothing's wrong if you'll stay the night cause I
wanna love in evening glitter
sink into hands so tender
wanna get a little bit closer
you're my reality sinner
oh oh woah oh
you're my reality sinner
oh oh woah oh
you're my reality sinner
wanna love in evening glitter
sink into hands so tender
wanna get a little bit closer
you're my reality sinner
oh oh woah oh
you're my reality sinner

we'll listen to the lady but let's bring this to a close we've all got things to do don't want this incident to impose on the agenda of our leader we don't wanna mistreat her but we've come to a verdict already, we can't hear her
he never did anything wrong you can prove, you can cry all you want but we won't change the rules, he's got a godly version of the truth and thereās nothing you can do cause we won't listen to you no we won't listen
I am here today not cause I want to be
but because you made me
I was forced to find the strength to speak
so you listen to me
I've been shamed into silence to cover up his touch
humiliated, fearing how my words would be spun
my story, my pain, it'll never be enough
why canāt I just get a break from this stuff?
I am here today not cause I want to be
but because you made me
I was forced to find the strength to speak
so you listen to me
listen, you better, you better listen, listen to me

Not Giving In
05:47

some things must be done alone
but thereās not much to do when Iām so far away from myself, and nobody knows
Iām carving craters in my cheeks again
outside my face is beautiful, so I need to destroy it
and maybe then no one will ever look at me again, staring and wondering what gender I am
silence wants me but I donāt wanna be quiet
Iām safer in my own world but this is more important
my biology is not my destiny, no I wonāt be labeled
tear down my worth, but they canāt tear myself from myself
two days ago I thought about stopping it all, taking back who I am just so theyād feel comfortable
itās more convenient if you just settle for whatever box they sell you when youāre vulnerable
but I couldnāt be something Iām not, no, Iāve got two souls inside me and thatās more than enough to claim myself for who I am
I wonāt let them tell me who I am
get, get out, get out of my head
out, get out, get out of my head, I wanna, I wanna be me instead
stare and protest but they canāt take myself from myself
Iām breathing, Iām human, I am a person not a pronoun
Iāll make a huge fucking scene for all the kids who never got to be comfortable living in their own skin, no
weāre not giving in, no, weāre not giving in
no, weāre not giving in, no
no, weāre not giving in, no
no, weāre not giving in, no
no, weāre not giving in, no
no, weāre not giving in (we're not giving in), no
