I / Me / Myself

I’ve been feeling lightheaded since I lost enough weight to fit back in my skin

Flower petals and feathers tether me to the ground (pound for pound)

Take my tea with formaldehyde

For my feminine side since the day that I died

While I whittle my bones until I'm brittle, am I pretty now?

For some reason I find myself lost in what you think of me

And too confused to choose who I should be

And now you’ve got me thinking

I wish I could be a girl, and that way

You’d wish I could be your girlfriend, boyfriend

Am I pretty enough to lie to?

I wish I could be a girl, and that way

You’d wish I could be your girlfriend, boyfriend

Just little old me in a big, big world

Little old me in a big world

I wish I were a girl

I’ve been feeling lighthearted

Since I gained enough weight back to cover my bones

I get dressed up in shadows one leg at a time we’re so alike

But if the shoe fits, then I won’t try it on

You’ll be walking out early, but the show must go on

No, I know that I'm wrong

But I love how you’re on my side when I cross that line

It’s been a point of contention between myself

And this body that they stuck me in

The privilege of being born to be a man

And now you got me thinking

I wish I could be a girl, and that way

You’d wish I could be your girlfriend, boyfriend

Am I pretty enough to lie to?

I wish I could be a girl, and that way

You’d wish I could be your girlfriend, boyfriend

Just little old me in a big, big world

Little old me in a big world

I wish

Eating your prosthetic meat/meet your anesthetic criteria

Pathetic seeing you become acetic

Say my name like a slur, but I’ve been called worse

I’ve heard it all before, no this isn’t a first

Let me be the void you fill with taxidermy fingerprints

Taxonomize our differences

I am quantum physics, my witness brings me into existence

I wish I could be a girl, and that way

You’d wish I could be your girlfriend, boyfriend

Am I pretty enough to love back?

No, not yet

I wish I could be a girl, and really I’d prefer it

If you would use I, me, myself

Am I pretty enough?

Am I pretty enough to fucking die?

Little old me in a big world

Well I would give you my whole world

Little old me in a big world

I wish

All identities are equally invalid

Don’t you think that there’s a chance

That you could live without it?
