lyrics

You live in a world where I don't exist
and in another time I might have too.
It's a part of me that could have been easily missed
by myself, never mind you.
But don't tell me I'm confused when you're the one that seems to be
I know the truth about myself and you think that would set me free
but these are things I think and know
that you erase to maintain a world that is just so

Do I undermine your solid gender roles?
Or are we all just assortments of holes?

Well, maybe some of this comes from what you haven't seen
when the world plays it's part as well
because there's so few who have come clean
it feels like I'm alone in this solipsistic hell.
Well, maybe I don't fit in with the image you have of me
and the way I am is not the way you think I ought to be
but I can still love, I can still get what I need
and your assumptions cut me, and I still bleed.

Do I undermine your solid gender roles?
Or are we all just assortments of holes?

There's a thousand ways I've been belittled -
cut off, suppressed, denied, ignored;
contradicted, disappointed, insulted or deplored.
How can I just pick one?
