lyrics

what are the things telling you you’re undeserving of love?
a gas leak into a water vein
from a bird’s eye view
the cracks in the foundation resemble electricity lines
they are roads less taken
they lead to rows of suburban homes
where there are televisions turned on,
but dead flowers in the vase
there is the joyful laughter maintained by the language of your parents’ patria,
but there are dead flowers in the vase
there is a network of cisgender boys and girls who take up space at family functions,
but there are dead flowers in the vase

there are the days i wake up without my other name
but still i want to taste her
i am mute amongst the growth of flowers
i grow titties without estrogen so i can look at my mother in the eyes again

there is no happiness without consequence
there is no cause without a sword
i will remember you amongst the ivy
there are parts of myself buried deep within me
