lyrics

I kept telling myself
It's just a stage
Just a stage

Achieving effortless fluidity
Not that hard for me, in theory
Beginning to reject modernity
And masculinity, to some degree

I see little pieces of broken glass
That glitter in the light of passing cars
It's beautiful
So am I

Sitting across from you, I have to wonder
Is this the end of all we know?
The moment where everything changes
Spending minutes thinking it over
And years undoing the damage
Could that be us?
This bout of solipsism
Will come to an end
And I will face the judgement I so closely fear
And I'll be okay, no matter what
I will be
But I would love for you to meet me there
And I would love for you to see me
As I am
So look upon me, all you who doubt
And witness my transformation
Witness the end of days
And reject me
Like I know you want to
So I turn to my audience

And there they are
Giving to me what I couldn't get
From you
And it's beautiful
So am I

Living for the applause
An auditory shelter
So temporary
So temporary
But I can stay here for a moment
I can stay here for just a moment
