Transgender Dysphoria Blues

She could hear them fucking through those thin hotel walls 
 She heard babies crying, she heard laughter, she heard sirens 
 Red and blue lights flashing through those cheap hotel drapes 
 Blood spilled out on the porcelain 
 The bathtub's overflowing 


 Paralytic states of dependency 
 All waking life's just a living dream 
 Agitated states of amazement 
 Never quite the woman that she wanted to be
 Never quite the woman that she wanted to be 


 Spread out faced down on those stained, cheap hotel sheets 
 She spent the last years of her life running from the boy she used to be 
 Cut her face wide open, shaved the bone down thin,
 plumped her lips up exaggerated, a fucked up kind of feminine 


 Paralytic states of dependency 
 All waking life's just a living dream 
 Agitated states of amazement 
 Never quite the woman that she wanted to be 
 Never quite the woman that she wanted to be 


 Night time at the hotel, there was fighting in the hall 
 Thin chain lock to keep the world out, she held her breath till it was gone 
 Standing naked in front of that hotel bathroom mirror, 
 In her dysphoria's reflection she still saw her mother’s son. 


 Paralytic states of dependency 
 All waking life’s just a living dream 
 Agitated states of amazement 
 Never quite the woman that she wanted to be 
 Never quite the woman that she wanted to be 


 By the time the ball dropped, it was already over
 By the time the ball dropped, it was already over
 No resolutions for the new year beginning tomorrow
