lateral move
[Verse 1]
My name is not my name
But I still hear it all the same
It’s swinging back and forth like a street sign
In a late fall hurricane
Just another tiny island
In a vast binary sea
I can’t relate to that right now
I’ve got bigger fish to leave
[Verse 2]
My name is not my name
It’s an echo of who I used to be
It’s sitting there between my legs
Where your attention shouldn’t be
“What you got under your skirt?”
None of your fucking business, man
Whether sir or ma’am or that one there
I’m whatever I say I am
And don’t forget it
[Bridge]
Here lies the boy who thought it would all fall into place
Here lies the girl who never found what she thought was the way
Here lies the secret: they’re both one and the same
And if no one’s ashamed
Then no one’s to blame
[Outro]
My name is not my name
But I still hear it all the same
