Okay 03:49
Don't worry I'm okay No really I'll be fine That's what I say on the outside But I'm actually screaming for help I don't want to feel this way I don't like being in pain I don't want you to be scared for me I don't want you to be afraid If you want to leave then I want you to please I want you to be okay with me But if I explode in the back seat of your mothers car Please don't turn me away But then when we fall asleep I want to see you Every morning of every day But if you don't want to stay here with me Please I want you to go There is no worse feeling than making you feel obligated You deserve to live your own life But I don't want you to be scared of me I don't want you to be afraid If you want to stay then I want you to please I want you to be okay with me

Mindreader 03:37
Why don't you hold your breath? Keep your thoughts inside your head I have heard this all before They can hear you screaming thought the door. You know I need an explanation You think you know my emotions I can't be right but your so wrong This could go on for so long I don't want to follow your rules I am sick of being abused I want to live a life of my own You treat me as if I'm owned You know I need an explanation You think you know my emotions I can't be right but your so wrong This could go on for so long You know I need an explanation You think you know my emotions I can't be right but your so wrong This could go on for so long

Hold me down hold me down as I am screaming no Please don't please don't put your hands on my throat I can't move I can't breath I am scared I am scared It's going black it's going black I'm being forced on my back I'll never I'll never sleep the same You won't you won't remember my name I'm different I'm different I have changed The worst part is that I'll be blamed Just go away just go away make the memories fade Make them stop make them stop make the rumors disappear I've had enough I've had enough this isn't my fault I didn't ask for this yet I feel like shit I'll never I'll never sleep the same You won't you won't remember my name I'm different I'm different I have changed The worst part is that I'll be blamed

I didn't ask to be born like this. You didn't ask for the family you have. I didn't ask to be born like this. So why the fuck are you staring at me like that? Why can't I wear the clothes I want? Why can't I be comfortable with the skin I'm in? Why can't I wear my makeup? What makes me less of a woman? Stop looking at me with a face of disgust. Remember that I'm still a human. My actions don't affect you at all. So why the fuck do you even care? How do you think that I feel When my father says that I am still his son? Even though I'm a woman Some people will never see me as one. Why don't you try living in my shoes? What would you do if you couldn't stand looking in the mirror? I didn't ask to be born like this. You didn't ask for the family you have. I didn't ask to be born like this. Stop staring at me like that. I will wear the clothes I want. I will be comfortable with the skin I'm in. I will wear my make up. I know, I know that I am a woman. Why don't you try living in my shoes? Why don't you see if they even fit? Are they too small or am I bigger than you? What would you do if you couldn't stand looking in the mirror?

Eat Me Out 02:00
I am non-negotiable I will never give in I will do the opposite of what you say God is here for all But how come she never answers my calls I guess that the only explanation is that the line is busy Or maybe I shouldn't waste my time on non-existence beings May be I should focus on living I'll keep using vulgar words and correct all the cunts who use the wrong pronouns I'll keep having lesbian sex because I know that my gender matters I'll keep fighting the good fight And I'll keep living my life And I won't let some narcissist change that I am non-negotiable Nothing you can say will persuade me I will never give in just so you can die with a clear conscience Maybe you should have thought of that before you abused me I will not be your savior

Oh, Lord 02:42
Oh Lord how do you know if I am holy or if I have lied? Oh God how do you sleep knowing that you condemn people when they die? How do you, how do you, how do you know the truth? How do you, how do you, how do you know the truth? You say that you are pure how do you justify those claims When you're screaming at people because their life styles are not the same? People like you, people like you people like you are to blame. People like you, people like you people like you are to blame. I will live my life anyway I want anyway I please I will not settle for anything less I know who I am But who the fuck are you? How are you fine with watching other people die How can you turn away when it's right in front of your face How can you turn your back when it's your life that is already intact What if one day it's your child and then they die alone?

Look at those shoulders they're way too wide and the jaw line is too defined I bet under the skirt there is a dick I bet that it's a faggot I have an idea let's fuck with it Let's bend it over and watch it break Hurt it real bad make it wish it were dead Then let's do it all again Hey girl stick to your guns as long as you've got lungs breath in breath out breath in breath out You know who you are so stick to your X As long as they keep telling you Y Y Y Y Y Y Y I have an idea let's ignore them Let's laugh and walk the other way I know your valid so what do they matter We're all gonna' die someday We're all just trying to live our lives I know for me I'm just trying to make up for lost time We'll deal with much discrimination As long as it doesn't over power our self determination I have an idea let's ignore them Let's laugh and walk the other way I know your valid so what do they matter We're all gonna' die someday So let's stop conforming to their way We're going to live our lives today.

Reflection 04:31
Who ever said this is easy obviously has never done this before I thought that I was something turns out that you are so much more I thought that I knew it but now I know I'm not quite sure Even though I have these questions when will I have something to offer Every time we talk you put me down how do I get anywhere life this I want to leave I want to go so good by, goodbye my old friend How could you be so, how could you be so mistaken how could you be so wrong Even though you've known me for this long turns out that you never knew me all along I keep thinking about how I used to be so different I keep thinking about how we all used to be so young And I get so lost with the words inside my haid And I I get so lost with the music that we hear. Every time we talk you put me down how do I get anywhere like this Every time we talk you put me down how do I get anywhere like this Every time we talk you put me down how do I get anywhere like this Every time we talk you put me down how do I get anywhere like this (Goodbye joyful lives hello red eyes) (Goodbye joyful lives hello red eyes)

First Words 03:12
It's not my time it's not mine not my day not my way We need to go so we are last going to slow now we're going to fast What's inside me what's inside me I cannot see what love brings how love sings Go on without me I am not in your dreams you'll see As days goes by I continue to lie here I don't get far it just gets hard to care I''l just lay here and continue to fear pain I close myself off and I get lost in my brain Just forget about me Just forget about me Throw me away at the end of the day if you would if you think you should They say that I'm the black sheep but do you know what they're hiding under the sheets For better or for worse or am I cursed am I better day is this all in my head What is my real name or am I going insane As days goes by I continue to lie here I don't get far it just gets hard to care I''l just lay here and continue to fear pain I close myself off and I get lost in my brain Just forget about me Just forget about me Just forget about me Just forget about me
