Visibilities - The Same Old Eyes Lyrics

Yesterday I was a boy
Gender was just a toy
It didn't make sense, but I liked it that way
Gender was a game to play

Yesterday I was a girl
Gender was my whole world
It didn't take much, but it took everything
Gender was a giving thing

Hold my hand, we're hiding
Hold my hand, we're hiding

Hold on little one
Don't you think it would be fun
To share your secret with someone
Someone other than yourself

You can't trust yourself these days
They're always finding new ways
To make you, and make you do
All of the things you said you'd never do

Now today I am trans
They say the best laid plans
Are the ones that go awry
And when they do you wanna die

No, no, damned if I don't
Better than lying at home
No, no, damned if I do
Who needs safety when you've got you

I've still got the same old eyes
You can't see much in their new light
But they can see you and all you do
For better or for worse they are watching you

Take my hand, we're running
Take my hand, we're running
Take my hand
