about

I've made changes

lyrics

I can't ever keep my brain on time
I locked myself inside my mind
Tried to be a good little worker
Be upstanding be supportive
Be a person
Of the normal kind

I didn't really need to live
I didn't really need to die
Helped people who were hurting
Tried to be my best
And fall in love and get along
And make myself a reason why

Turned out I was a person after all

Made a hole beside my head
It let out the things I never said
Found a person deep inside
Within the place she went to hide
With my emotions and my pride
I lied instead

I'm a girl and sometimes I'm a boy
I'm both and neither I enjoy
The way I am and I examine
My desire and ire and fire
And I'll protect for us
What others all destroy

[Laughter]
Turns out I'm a human after all

I can't live like that no more
I can't live like that no more
I can't live like that no more
I can't live like that no more

Got myself a space for me
Where everyone will let me be
I can rest and disassociate
And nap and come and
Talk and play and flail and wail
And sing and cry in peace

Turns out I'm a human now
Gotta stay alive somehow
I am dizzy off my balance
All these feelings
Leave me reeling
Gonna fill me up
And burn me out

I guess that I'm a person after all
