about

One for all the trans folks.

lyrics

He calls me son, you call me daughter
Makes me feel like I’m treading water
I’m not a warm up act or childhood dream
And I’m so much more than what I seem

I know I fucked things up and let you down
Just call me by my name so I don’t drown
I tried to do things your way, and stand alone
I thought I was flesh and blood, not skin and bone

It’s not a choice, I have a voice
and it speaks louder, and you don’t care
I’m not a freak, I may be weak
but you never helped me, you weren’t there
no, you weren’t there

You gave me up when I was born
New into a body already worn
Say you love me, say you want me to do well
How can you say love me when you think I'm going to hell?

You had your final chance to call me your son
But that's it, I'm gone, I am done
Why would I need somebody who won't say my name
I'm still that girl you loved, I am the same
I just found my own way, had my own say, I grew up
I chose my future, it's not easy, it was tough
I didn't stick to the guildlines, fuck the sidelines
I am more than that, Yeah

It’s not a choice, I have a voice
and it speaks louder, and you don’t care
I’m not a freak, I may be weak
but you never helped me, you weren’t there
no, you weren’t there

Jake Edwards England, UK

Just some dumb dork from Youtube. There's nothing much here in the way of musical ability, I just kinda blunder my way through a few songs and spam the internet with it.
