lyrics

Topping off the gas tank in my mind again
Serotonin dope i’m not
Make all my mistakes like im 10 again
Beggin for a meal outside a save a lot

Losing all my sleep in a paranoid binge
Lookin out my window to avoid the cops
Lackin the structure to begin again
Pretend that I’m a hero but I know i’m not

Waiting for the night to come and take me away
Giving in to what the voices say
If I can’t come back tonight maybe I’ll stay
You told me all along that we were not the same

Breaking off the pieces that react to pain
Seemed to be the pieces that still lacked restraint
Need a lot comfort to get back in my lane
But Im just not comfortable anyway

Losing all my sleep in a paranoid binge
Lookin out my window to avoid the cops
Lackin the structure to begin again
Pretend that I’m a hero but I know i’m not

Waiting for the night to come and take me away
Giving in to what the voices say
If I can’t come back tonight maybe I’ll stay
You told me all along that we were not the same

Janes Dysphoria
by Virtual Bird

supported by 5 fans who also own “Passin By”

A queer folk punk album that brings the anxieties and the insecurities of the trans experience to the forefront. The instrumentals and vocals really sell the concept of this album. Wonderfully vulnerable or full on rage in others. The blood, sweat and tears put into this album is very clear. Some of her best work yet! arvemis
