lyrics

Wait a fucking second, suddenly will power is not enough?
I have been told since I could be told/that if I flied right and straightened up, I would be alright.
Now you wanna get clinical with me?
Cuz I did everything I was supposed to do and what the fuck did that get me?

Who cut my wick? Who shot my nerves? Who's gunna fix it cuz I never learned.

Repeat yourself, it gets me every time.
I am so so stuck, so so stuck in my mind.
Ignore me, yeah pay me no mind.
These problems they are not yours they are mine, and mine alone.

It's funny to think I was deluded enough
to feel like I was a cis boy 'til you fucked it up.
Use whatever pronouns, you can't abuse me
now please excuse me while I down another mickey to forget myself, and everyone else.
You'll watch me drown cuz I won't ask for help
out of sight, out of body
out of mind, out of body
out of body, out of body, get me out of this body.

Pre chorus
Chorus

And I hold on so tightly, cuz most times I cannot see
I'm just grasping at sharp objects pretending that they feel soft to me
you grabbed my wrist and pulled my blindfold free
showed me what I held and all the blood I thought I'd cleaned
lets do this together
you mean so much to me
no you are not a defect you are the most beautiful thing I could never conceive
