lyrics
This doesn’t have to be sentimental, no
Only stay if you want to
I’m giving you this out, so a year from now
Don’t ask me what’s between my legs
I’ve been choking vomit back
Every time I’ve lied to you
But when I spun in the dress I stole
I just felt so beautiful
And it was better not to lie
It was better to survive
So they can justify it how they like
That’s not my fucking name
It shouldn’t be so hard
It shouldn’t be so hard
Can you see my hands shake?
Am I close enough to whisper?
If you trace my lips by lamplight, am I feminine?
What shape would yield a higher diction?
I am more than death by pronoun,
A name with fewer jagged sounds
I am not born of syringe alone
-
And it’s better not to lie
It’s better to survive
So they can justify it how they like
That’s not my fucking name
It shouldn’t be so hard
It shouldn’t be so hard
