It's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright,

lyrics

1, 2, 3, do it.

My sadness is the sexiest.
Welcome me to bed so I can muster up what's left of it.
Pretending to be masculine has turned me to a pessimist.
I always act so feminine.
How much of me is estrogen?
Catch me with the red lipstick.
Not cis enough to be cis. Not trans enough to be trans.
I'm not valid, I don't think. Where my mentality stands
Is fixed upon what I have when I try to be what I can't.
I'm past the point of a boy, but I'm not sure I'm a man.

How can I make you understand that I’m beautiful?
I realize I redefine what’s the usual.
Give me the red lipstick. I’ll show you I’m beautiful.

1, 2, 3, do it.

Give me the yellow lipstick so I can highlight my words.
I've given therapy a try, but they just lie to me further.
What if I shouldn't be comfortable? What if it's wrong for a reason?
But then, I'd never been the one to care for how I'm perceived.
Fuck it, it's happening.
Maybe I'd be happier if my self expression was accurate.
Miss me with the sappy shit. I won't let Unilad get it.
They'd profit if you laugh at it. I've found what makes me confident.
I understand who I am, but still don't understand the cost of it.
My endless admiration for the girl in the green lipstick
Making distance as a form of resistance.
I describe you with a lot of religious iconography for an agnostic.
I've been partly supportive. Partly obnoxious.
The process started early. My hair's been curly and long since elementary.
Used to be scared of the label of "girly". Now it's how I recognize that I'm worthy.
I Wouldn't make it in the clergy, so I'm gone. Now don't disturb me.

How can I make you understand that I’m beautiful?
I realize I redefine what’s the usual.
Give me the red lipstick. I’ll show you I’m beautiful.

Allow for all to breathe air as clean as Eden. I will drown in the River Styx and keep the planet eternal, along with all the love in it. Your own beauty is yours and no one else's. I will inject the earth with the divine milk of a ghost's breast and the living will never go thirsty. I still remain a stranger to everyone. ... more
