Hold Me Like A Pipe

I had a dream last night and didn't want to wake up,
It was the closest I've felt to real love,
Of myself of course but also her,
She made me feel at home on this earth.
Men's smiles are like daggers,
The way they dance with the stars,
Arpeggiating falsified sorrows,
Yet never sharing your dark.
Oh to be a knife held in the hands,
Of somebody you love.

I'll never be a daughter,
But I'm tired of being my fathers son,
Maybe I should try being nothing,
But that doesn't sound very fun.
Because If it's about getting what I want,
Then I wouldn't know what to say,
But I know I want something I can feel it inside me,
I've wanted this thing every fucking day since I was.
7 years old on the day I wore your dress,
Trying to convince myself I was a man just under stress,
But I was never a salesman that was just a dream,
And those thoughts stuck with me till the age of fourteen.
When I put a rope around my neck,
And all the things I'd find,
In my mouth till my body,
Would just die.
But I could never tell you,
How I felt that day,
People allready told you,
That I might be gay.

I'm glad we kept in touch,
Did you find someone else to love,
Or did you get hung up on,
Things you can't provide for?
Are you still who I thought you were,
By which I mean are you my world,
And would you want to be my girl,
To get away from it all.
Dear friend its funny I miss you,
Even though I was never with you,
Where you even real,
It makes me think.

I wrote hits for you,
Yet still you hate me,
I blew a kiss to you,
But I'm so lazy.
I'm frustrated,
I could never find another.
I'm frustrated,
I had to be your brother.
Why won't you just,
Go away,
I don't want to,
Leave my house again.
It's scary being born like this,
Not knowing who to trust,
Its scary having to look like this,
Like a broken roman bust.
I'm frustrated,
I could never find another.
I'm frustrated,
I had to be your brother.

The sound it surrounds me,
The porcelain I smashed,
All for it reminds me,
Of myself I used to be.
I still am who I say I was,
I will never pass,
Even if I wait out,
There is not a chance.
I try to be nice,
I know that I am,
But it's hard to empathise when you hate the sound of your voice.
Not to sound cliche
I want to hear you call my name,
I don't know if I'm gay,
But I'm figuring it out.
I've done nothing but haunt you,
But the words flow out of your mouth.
I've done nothing but haunt you,
But the words flow out of your mouth.
Lately my gender dysphorias been hurting me,
It counteracts the things that you did for me.
No,
I don't wanna be this way,
I don't wanna be this way,
I don't wanna be this way,
Any more.
I've just been faking the confidence,
Even though I feel anonymous.
I know the lingo I am obsessed,
But I'm a mess and I just get more stressed.
I couldnt admit that I was depressed.
No,
I don't wanna be this way,
I don't wanna be this way,
I don't wanna be this way,
Any more.

It hurts but it gets worse,
Or so i've heard,
But it's gotta get better at some point right.
Cause it was better when you were here,
But you had to up and die.
It hurts but it gets worse,
Or so i've heard,
But it's gotta get better at some point right.
[Solo 4 times through]
It hurts but it gets worse,
Or so i've heard,
But it's gotta get better at some point right.

Light:
I had a dream last night and didn't want to wake up,
It was the closest I've felt to real love,
Of myself of course but also her,
She made me feel at home on this earth.
Distance:
Take me home space admiral,
These words don't make sense,
If been reading and reading and reading,
I still feel no regret
