about

This is a bop for sure. Lots of energy and high octane lyrics. Fun time to perform.

lyrics

(soft)
*I wake up wishing I could wear a dress
And then I remember that I’ve already addressed
The problem that I repressed for so
Long

*That I can hardly express the
excess of progress that I
repossessed to stop feeling
so depressed

**Back in highschool I was a ticking time bomb
Full of constant tension that my self invention
was just a pathetic pretension masking
the bit of me I was too scared to mention to myself

And I hate that I didn’t wear a dress to
Prom so as I danced with my
Friends

I let myself fade away into the
-Lingerie that I kept locked away
deep inside my ugly brain

But the next day
I wore that lingerie
to an anime convention and
I looked kawaii
--
*I hate that I masterbate to fetishized
Transvestites and I hate that the rape that
I downplay traumatized me less than
-the church that made me compartmentalize
My self in order to exist

My internalized
transphobia is a fossilized
record of the dystopia
Of my mind,

cast aside catastrophized the
euphoria that I never realized
I could have if I just stopped
-hating myself long enough to feel the words
Viva La Gloria
--
*The lace on my hairy leg that I dissect
Like a dying insect makes me erect
and I feel so much
-shame that the same thing that made me hate myself
so much kept me alive for so

Long the last time I stole a pair of
Panties from the laundry basket
of my home, I never gave them
back

The last time my heart oozed with
orgasmic ecstasy and I
breathlessly arrived at such a
transcendent pleasantry

I stuck my fingers in my
mouth and tried to puke out the guilt
That the church had fed me all
my life
--
*By the time I broke the doors of my college
I was eighteen and ready to climb
the insurmountable pantomime
That was the reconstruction of my

Temple the sublime
sensation of relief that I felt
the day I was rebuilt enough to stop
feeling guilt for being who I am and who I was
never able to defeat
--
I believe
was like a coral reef
rebounding from humanity’s
neglect and grief

*The bits of self destruction that survived my
reconstruction will always stay as a
reminder that I am and always will be
Gay and

trans and that I’m here to stay and nothing that gets
- in my way will ever destroy me the
way I was destroyed
back in highschool.
