Nvr Pass

Never felt less alone than I do right now
Never more like I was out of the closet
And the only thing that seemed worse than never coming out
Was the thought of having to get back in it

And I'll never pass
Not that I would want to anyway!

I lived my whole damn life as a doll on a shelf
Occasionally taken down to be passed around
I was told all the time how to be a man
Fit a mold, cut your hair, we'll tell you what to wear

I don't want to spend the rest of the life I have
Trying to squeeze into a box that's even smaller
The only difference I could find is that it's painted pink
It's not the color I don't like, it's the obligation

And I don't have an obligation to anyone but myself

So I'll probably never pass
Seems more like hiding than being who I am
And I'll probably never pass
I'd rather live my life visibly trans

And I'll never pass
Not that I would want to anyway!

Never felt less alone than I do right now
Never more like I was out of the closet
And the only thing that seemed worse than never coming out
Was the thought of having to get back in it

And I'll never pass
I'll never pass
I'll never pass
Not that I would want to anyway!
