From the recording All Us On Fire
Lyrics
Both And
10pm on my purgatory step, some kinda refuge
Outside light still on, my hair still wet, again excluded
I definitely, definitely meant what I said
A rage white hot, no regrets, I didn’t ask for this
Stay in the shade, your hands on your hips
I’m not listening, to your delusional rants
On and on about how it makes sense
Maybe not to my head…
I can be Both And
I can be Both And
I can be Both And
I can be Both And
Dance naked to welcome the dawn, fluid joyful flow
Quick corsets and straitjackets on, no permit to show
Why I must account for the sins of your flesh
You can’t admit that it’s all in your head
Unpalatable in my human form
Unacceptable to your stupid norms
To your beauty myths I must conform
Or consider myself to deform
I can be Both And
I can be Both And
I can be Both And
I can be Both And
I like my tea little too hot to drink
Dislike to talk, but I overthink
I like the truth, I don’t like to pretend
Sublime their eyes and the back of their hand
I like my shoes without a heel
Sometimes to run, but always to feel
The wind in my face, the sun in my eyes
I can be high and also be shy
I’m not your girl and I’m not your man
Yeah I can be both, and…?
I can be Both And
I can be Both And
I can be Both And
I can be Both And
