lyrics

Ivy wants to be anything but what Ivan wants to be
so he says,
"HEY FAGGOT FUCKER, SHUT UP!"
but he's secretly in love,
with a Xiu Xiu fever dream

A dream where you feel dysphoria,
every time you touch a lover's hand
A dream where you smell your dad,
when you wear your mom's clothes home all alone

Ivan's skin and bones are growing an Ivy plant's arms and legs
making sense of questions
what's between her legs
in her head
who's right to question
but in isolation her pronouns are not respected
looking to mirror, Ivan asks,
"Ivy, are you even living?"

You just want a boy to come and still want to hold you in the morning,
to tell you, "Ivy, i love you for the pretty girl that you are."
You just want a boy who would hold your hand through a sex change
I am so fragile, i could die in the streets, trans and alone

Or you could just be a good boy
Or you could just be a good boy, if it is what you want,
if it is what you are
Within your gendered constitution,
you dream of a resolution
Listen to Xiu Xiu
Listen to Xiu Xiu and pretend it does not hurt
