Inner Voice

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse]
I shave to peel back a layer I swear isn't mine
Retracting a stranger
Somebody who isn't me, but grows in me inside, and it's sickening
I think about who I am
The lipstick on my lips, the skirt on my hips
The skin I want to inhabit, but can't, like, the zipper rips
Even as my body grows and shifts
I scream and cry until I'm numb
And pray that maybe just this once, I'll be seen
As beautiful, pretty, female, home
Instead of feeling like an imposter, someone without a soul
Someone who isn't quite as whole as they should be

[Instrumental Outro]
