lyrics

I keep circling back to that time in my life where I lay face down in bottles and stains. Previously eye focused on miles of pain.

Issac had this sour look and I had such a sour look.

I missed my ticket back before she could cheat and leave me.
I trade my jacket for a ride back to sour Ohio. I live in stitches and scars I left me, I sing along to my body being ripped from dick to feet.

Id like to satisfy my urges, to kill a hundred people or drink a tall can. I swiftly change the channel that I listen to, because it reminds of a dead man.

I wish that I could tell you that I'm happy, I wanna be I wanna be. But all the bees and wants and wishes, can never bring me back from apathy.

I sip my glass and stop wishing a sing a prayer and go fishing. For a name or for a number. I slip and scream in my cringing.

I want to want to be

Janes Dysphoria
by Virtual Bird

supported by 20 fans who also own “Want To Be”

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
