Trans Mantra Ezra Furman

I wake up early to get things started
I do my make up and I do my hair
I practice walking and speaking softly
So it looks easy as if I don't care

On bad days I take it slowly
On good days I'm up and out in an hour
The past is over it's just behind me
It's getting closer but it holds no power

I don't want to know
I don't want to know what they're saying about me
I don't want to know
I don't want to show that it devastates me

I'm living somewhere nobody goes to
I'm speaking in a language nobody talks
The window broken, a cold wind blows through
My soul a series of electrical shocks

A failed equation, a hypothetic
A woman standing but constructed to fall
Existing as a minimalism
Only just barely as a woman at all

I don't want to know
I don't want to know what they're saying about mе
I don't want to know
I don't want to show that it devastates me
