lyrics

kind and quiet accommodations
a new narrow life of assimilation
dreaming of the person you thought you could be
conquered fear of death but terrified of living

how femme should i look how much makeup to wear
to get through the day without sneering and stares
i just want a life i don't have to fight for

there's enough beauty love light and good in this world
to stick around
they can keep screaming and shame me but i'll keep my name
til they put me in the ground

making up my mind to feel more alive
slam shut every of uncertain design
laughing in confusion at the deathly absurd
and refusing to plan for the end of the world

cycle back and forth the eternal return
gives meaning to every last lesson you learn
the provident gravity of impermanence

there's enough beauty love light and good in this world
to stick around
visions of heaven and hellfire keeping my feet
tethered to the ground

now i take each moment in slices of time
cause reaching your peak is when you start to die
scattered across the expanse, you can never let go

there's enough beauty love light and good in this world
to stick around
the waves of anxious overwhelming dread remind me
i'm on solid ground

there's enough beauty love light and good in this world
to stick around
they can hate me and kill me but i'll keep my name
til they put me in the ground
