(yes this is about bein trans but mostly its just about my emotions and how I've been feelin the past few months going between feeling incredibly sad and numb and feeling hopeful/happy that I'm not at rock bottom)
lyrics
Holes in my ears and holes in my nose
Waiting for a time when nobody knows
My old name
My old name
Bruises on my heart, I'll bandage the worst
Hoping my emotions aren't fit to burst
Into flame
Into flame
But I'll pick myself up again and I'll come swingin
oh I'll pick myself up again and I'll come swingin
And I'm happier now than I ever knew how to be
I built myself up from the ground and now I'm free
Of the way world expects me to be
Sun in my eyes and hope up ahead
Waiting for the time when I won't dread
Waking up
Waking up
All my fears will fill the years until
The windowsill
Isn't so tempting
But I'll pick myself up again and I'll come swingin
oh I'll pick myself up again and I'll come swingin
Well I'm happier now than I ever knew how to be
I built up from the ground and now I'm free
Of the way the world expects me to
Go along and accept all the
Shit it throws my way
Well I'll break the rules today
I don't want the world to know my old name
Holes in my heart that don't fill up
Pouring out myself for some sense of love
What a shame
What a shame
Heaviness inside that I never chose
Waitin for a time when nobody knows
My old name
My old name
