I HAVE STRUGGLED ALL MY LIFE
TRYING TO FIT in WITH MY SURROUNDINGS
I IGNORE THE PAIN, DRINKIN CHEAP BEER
MY CHILD IS LYING ON THE FLOOR
SHE IS WONDERING whY DADDY
WON'T PLAY HIDE AND SEEK ANYMORE
ON MY OWN TIME I PARADE AROUND
IN A RED, COTTON BLOUSE FROM THE THRIFT STORE
IM TOO AFRAID TO BE HONEST WITH MYSELF
HOW CAN I COME OUT WHEN IM MARRIED
WITH A WIFE AND A FAMILY
I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO
MEANWHILE I STICK WITH THE ACOHOL
THE FEAR REMAINS INSIDE, IM AFRAID TO CONFESS
TO MY DEAREST WIFE, I WANT TO WEAR A DRESS
CAN SHE EVEN SEE HOW SCARY THIS IS FOR ME?
TELLING HER GIVES ME GOOSEBUMPS
OH DARLING, PLEASE UNDERSTAND ME
SO I WANTA BE A GIRL NOT A HE
IS IT TOO MUCH FOR YOU TO HANDLE? ARE YOU SCARED?
IT IS BIZARRE, IM SO CLOSE TO LIBERATION
MY LIFE IS A LIE
IM NOT AROUND FOR MY WIFE OR MYSELF, NOR MY CHILD
HONEY, IM SORRY
PLEASE GOD, I WANT TO BE MY COLOR
A LAYER THAT'S WAITING TO BREAK FREE
GIVE ME STRENGTH TO BECOME A SHE
I DON'T LIKE MY SURFACE
SOLARITY IS MY WISH
MY DEAREST WIFE AND DAUGHTER
IM STILL YOUR HUSBAND AND FATHER
IM JUST WEARING FOUNDATION,
HIGH HEELS AND MY LAVISHING SKIRT
I LOVE MY SURFACE
