lyrics

some things must be done alone
but there’s not much to do when I’m so far away from myself, and nobody knows
I’m 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 don’t wanna be quiet
I’m safer in my own world but this is more important
my biology is not my destiny, no I won’t be labeled
tear down my worth, but they can’t tear myself from myself

two days ago I thought about stopping it all, taking back who I am just so they’d feel comfortable
it’s more convenient if you just settle for whatever box they sell you when you’re vulnerable
but I couldn’t be something I’m not, no, I’ve got two souls inside me and that’s more than enough to claim myself for who I am
I won’t 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 can’t take myself from myself
I’m breathing, I’m human, I am a person not a pronoun
I’ll make a huge fucking scene for all the kids who never got to be comfortable living in their own skin, no
we’re not giving in, no, we’re not giving in

no, we’re not giving in, no
no, we’re not giving in, no
no, we’re not giving in, no
no, we’re not giving in, no
no, we’re not giving in (we're not giving in), no
