Lyrics

And I wasn't raised, I was dragged out the quagmire
I was the beast of your cisgender pain
And I am not sorry for the state of my body
I'll never be sorry for that
Keeping your tabs on the movements I make
Watching the corner of your eyes dull
A fragile wish to be held accountable
But I’m not the one until gone is the son
It’s all been erased, so we make our own history
'Cos your queer, and your visible, and your life now means more
To all of these people, who would take you and break you
Up into pieces when you step out of line, when you stop
And I wasn't raised, I was dragged out the quagmire
I was the beast of your cisgender pain
And I am not sorry for the state of my body
I'll never be sorry for that
What kind of myths will you construct to deal with this?
What kind of lies did you tell yourself?
Do you still see us as something lumbering into view
Slouching out of the blue?
I don’t have to take this, I don’t have to take this
I don’t have to settle for less
You cannot break this, I don’t have to take this
I don’t have to take this from you
And I wasn't raised, I was dragged out the quagmire
I was the beast of your cisgender pain
And I am not sorry for the state of my body
I'll never be sorry again
Oh, I wasn't raised, I was dragged out the quagmire
I was yr beast!
And I am not sorry for the state of my body
And there are some things you can’t change
