about

about medication and being genderqueer

lyrics

Close your eyes and hold real still
Grab the make up from the window sill
Try and try to make the lines
Still fuck it up though everytime

I feel that in no time at all
Sitting in my room against the wall
Dressing down and looking gender queer
Dressed to go but never leaving here

And its like Im in a shitty dream
And Im exactly like, who I seem (to be)
No smoke no mirrors and no screen
Just lots and lots and lots
Of Sertraline.

Androgynous and dressed down in yellow
Always more a stare than it ever is a hello
I dift outside as my mouth goes numb
Chipping the nail polish off my thumb

When I sing my eyeliner bleeds
Looking femme until my hair recedes
Though Im never really in the mood
Im dependably blue

And its like Im in a shitty dream
And Im exactly like, who I seem (to be)
No smoke no mirrors and no screen
Just lots and lots and lots
Of Sertraline.
