Letra
So I kissed that person I've been talking to You know The one I've been mildly crushing on On and off For half a decade And it felt strange Not the kiss The kiss was great I mean, it felt strange to know that it was okay That I didn't need to choose between this thing we have And what this other thing could be I could just relax and take things easy As much as I am ever capable of either of those things, anyway Drift wherever this strange new breeze might take me And you know me I feel, at any given time, tuggеd in all directions at once That is, if anything can be thus dеscribed, my defining quality But I spent years pathologising that very thing Listening with rapt attention when the world told me I was disgusting Like a child listening to a bedtime story And you know I don't think I even really mean that metaphorically We really do make a point of teaching kids that there is precisely one person to be One way to live Straight Cis Overworked And monogamous Anything else is in some way less And so I learned, as a lot of people like me did, that it was better to hide and to lie and pretend Than to express ourselves honestly This approach was actively encouraged, for f**ks sake As if those habits ever once produced a single happy or healthy individual in the history of our species It's like trying to shut off a garden hose by clamping your thumb over the end It seems to work for about half a second And then what had been a steady stream becomes a dozen water-jets shooting everywhere You can't control it And you get super f**king wet And actually, you know what? That metaphor got away from me a bit What I'm trying to say is By not accepting who I am and what I want By crushing and condensing my ident**y til it explodes all over everybody's everything I hurt people And then I kept doing it Again and again Until I learned that raging against the parts of me I find hard to love Doesn't actually erase them It doesn't actually fix anything It just makes me ill And unfulfilled And you know what's truly terrible? Is that some people go their whole lives thinking that's an okay way to feel They wake up every morning and voluntarily erase themselves Dream by dream and wish by wish Until they're barely even f**king people anymore They're just piles of bone and hair and flesh Red meat going bad And I dunno Maybe it's just me man But that sounds worse than any awkward, honest conversation I have ever had Thing is, once you pop you cannot stop And now I'm eyeing an uncomfortable question What other parts of me have I been neglecting? What other scary, strange things are under here? Because if it's possible to love more than one person Maybe I can love more than one aspect of me Anyway I don't need a reply to this urgently I just wanted to say I kissed someone today And I think it changed everything
