Given
Body Void
Rip open my chest
Rip open my ribs
Rip open my lungs
Rip open my heart
Pull me out
Push your fingers into my mouth
Push your skin to mine
Push your hands inside
Push your face to mine
Flay me alive
Take my mask away
Take the curtain down
Take this lie
Pull me out
Trans, resented
Cast out the chosen one
Cis, accepted
The artifice is swallowed
Death, abuse
Bargained for truth
Fake gender
Carry my weight
You’ve built your walls
Knock them down
You’ve trapped your soul
Now let it out
Drain
All my blood
Replace it
With the void
Stained
With the past
Will the quiet
Ever come
Tear open
My old wounds
Leave me stranded
Without you
Pull me out
Flay me alive
Take this lie
Never enough
Reach through my mouth
Vomit my insides
Expel this monster
Sweat from my pours
Lies like smoke
Pour from my skull
Given, given
Reach through my mouth
Pull out my teeth
Take it from me
Given, Given
Chase the Sun
Run with me
It’s setting soon
Forever
Chase the Sun
Its golden rays
Peel my skin
Washed away
Silence
Taken captive
By systems old
Always servants
Drain
All my blood
Replace
With the void
Withered soul
Taken for
Vulnerable heart
Given
Tear the pieces
Of mortal flesh
Tear the pieces
Of bent lashes
What’s left
Thrown out
What’s left
Inside
Less control
For me
External ties
Severed
No time
What’s left
