I/Me/Myself

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Bridge] 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 [Outro] 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?
