about

"i'm 17, (18 next month), bisexual, and I identify as a gnc female!

I struggle a lot with being insecure about my gender expression and dealing with my sexuality and the confusing messages that the world sends people who don't fall into neat boxes and I'm trying to bring that into my music.

Here is a rough demo I made on my phone of a song that I just finished writing! It's called Skin.

It's about feeling trapped in the body that you're born in and being willing to do almost anything to be someone else, and being insecure that other are better or have less flaws than you. I think a lot of other LGBT+ people can relate. "

lyrics

i can't believe

i'm trapped against my will

cause i would do almost anything

just to feel my bones

now i need you

to get under my skin

cause you make me

want to like myself again



i know every inch

of the place i live in

hands around my wrists

cause i'm a prison



chorus

i would rather starve

than stay stuck inside of here

i know you only see me from the outside

the hunger never hurts as much

as all the things that i say to myself

i'm the only person i can't hide from

except for you



i can't believe

that you are with me still

i would do almost anything

to get away from me

now i need to

to cut away my skin

until i'm finally

paper thin



and you could break me

with just a number

tell me you never loved her

and i will try

not to feel the weight



cause you can trip me

with just one trigger

and i'll feel

so much bigger

and i will start

to feel the weight



that i can't escape



i can't believe

i'm trapped in my own skin
