I used to be a little bit of a "pick-me"
But you told me that I'm wrong
And I choked on my pride
I used to see all my insecurities
I never stopped to think
I might hate what's on the inside
It comes full circle
You trust your heart and not your brain
It comes full circle
The same old thing
It comes full circle
You trust your heart and not your brain
It comes full circle
You do it all in vain
No I can see that I have my impurities
When they come along I have to ask myself
Can I make it alright?
It comes full circle
You trust your heart and not your brain
It comes full circle
The same old thing
It comes full circle
You trust your heart and not your brain
It comes full circle
You do it all in vain
You do it all in vain
You do it all in vain
You do it all in vain
You do it all in vain
It comes full circle
You trust your heart and not your brain
It comes full circle
The same old thing
It comes full circle
You trust your heart and not your brain
It comes full circle
You do it all in vain
It comes full circle
You trust your heart and not your brain
It comes full circle
The same old thing
It comes full circle
You trust your heart and not your brain
It comes full circle
You do it all in vain

It's Not Easy Being Loud
02:42

I was lyin' on my bed
You tried to crack me up
No matter what you said
I kept my mouth shut
You wanna' know what's wrong
But I can't open up
'Cause the second that I do
You'll know too much
Take a breath
Just pretend
That you don't wanna' be more than friends
It's not easy bein' loud
'Cause you know something's up when
I don't open my mouth
It's not easy bein' loud
You tried to lift me up
But I just shot you down
It didn't make sense when you said it felt wrong
I should have known better than to call your bluff
I was at my wits end
It wasn't enough
I still can't believe that I gave it all up
Take a breath
And take it all in
You'll never make the same mistake again
It's not easy bein' loud
'Cause you know something's up when
I don't open my mouth
It's not easy bein' loud
You tried to lift me up
But I just shot you down
It's not easy bein' loud
'Cause you know something's up when
I don't open my mouth
It's not easy bein' loud
You tried to lift me up
But I just shot you down
It's not easy bein' loud
'Cause you know something's up when
I don't open my mouth

Over My Dead Name
02:22
|

You say you love me just the same
But you don't need to understand
I guess
But it'd help matters if you can
There's only so many things that I can say
And too many things for me to try and convey
You say you love me just same
But you don't need to understand
Yet you still seem to think that I owe an explanation
At the end of the day
It doesn't matter anyway
Think what you wanna' think
I don't fucking care
I'm over it
I'm out of breath
And don't you fucking dare
Ask a single word of me
'Cause its clear that you don't care
Don't call that name
Don't waste your breath
'Cause nobody's there
The pundit makes a claim
It's delusional and off hand
And you just like to take his word
With no consideration
The pundit makes a claim
It's delusional and off hand
That I don't know the difference 'tween
A woman and a man
I'm quite aware of them
I know what I am
I know the preconceived notions
And the god damned lies
I never claimed to be the same
Or that I lived the same life
It's not a choice
If it was
I'd leave it all behind
Think what you wanna' think
I don't fucking care
I'm over it
I'm out of breath
And don't you fucking dare
Ask a single word of me
'Cause its clear that you don't care
Don't call that name
Don't waste your breath
'Cause nobody's there
You get what you get
And you don't throw a fit
(I'd leave it all behind)
Put shame on my name
And I'll never forget
(Love me just the same)
Put shame on my name
And I'll never forget
(Don't you call that name)
I don't care

Drivin' to the show
Getting lost at sea
Standing all alone
But there's no place I'd rather be
I know that that's no love song
But my head is empty
I know that that's no love song
But my head is empty
You tried to cut your losses
And you tried to kill your babies
The band has played that song three times tonight
And you just day dream
I know that that's no love song
But my head is empty
I know that that's no love song
But my head is empty

Half a Cigar
01:45

Smoke half a cigar
And you save the rest for later
All dressed up
Overwhelmed
And I hope you don't mind
Me takin' my time
The weight on my shoulders
Is worth the same in gold
I'll take this in stride
If you take my hand
And make me whole
Smoke half a cigar
I said I'd call you later
Fall in love with someone else
And it may seem contrived
But I don't feel right in anyone's eyes
The weight on my shoulders
Is worth the same in gold
I'll take this in stride
If you take my hand
And make me whole

I've Got to Stay
03:10
|

If the history repeats
The panic in the streets
Then no one can be born in the wrong generation
The tune hasn't changed
The songs, they only age
They tell me to behave
That I face no tribulation
I wanna' take you away
I wanna' take you away
But I've got to stay
For a brighter tomorrow
For the ones without a choice
With no way to end their sorrows
I've got to stay
We'll run away another day
If the history repeats
The lies and deceit
You shouldn't be surprised by the sadness and frustration
You're scared of needed change
Opt for things to stay the same
Chalk it up to nothing more than a loose association
I wanna' take you away
But I've got to stay
For a brighter tomorrow
For the ones without a choice
With no way to end their sorrows
(I can't feel your love tonight)
I've got to stay
(Through the heat of the gaslight)
We'll run away another day

Tell the boss I'm not comin' in
I'm callin' in dead
It all just exists for the sake of no end
But the next thirty years are looming over head
And I'm not gonna' live for the sake of the dread
Take my breath away
Make me feel like I'm livin'
I don't wanna' think
If we all just turn to dust
Take my breath away
Make me feel like I'm livin'
If I have to feel pain
Make it that of your lust
Tell the boss I'm not comin' in
I'm stuck in my bed
I'm stuck in my body
And I'm stuck in my head
I'm stuck in their pocket, they like to pretend
But I've got a better idea instead
Take my breath away
Make me feel like I'm livin'
I don't wanna' think
If we all just turn to dust
Take my breath away
Make me feel like I'm livin'
If I have to feel pain
Make it that of your lust
Chemicals, we're all just chemicals
Chemicals, we're all just chemicals
Chemicals, we're all just chemicals
Chemicals, we're all just chemicals
Chemicals, we're all just chemicals
Chemicals, we're all just chemicals
Chemicals, we're all just chemicals
Chemicals, we're all just chemicals

Let Alone in Lace

About called it a night when he walked my way
He said, "I'll buy you a drink, but my mom's gonna' pay."
There aren't enough notches in my belt
To keep my pants on
But if you though you had a chance
You thought wrong
You wanna' treat me like your baby girl
But you don't know my name
You wanna' keep it on the down low
But I cannot be contained
You don't deserve to see me standing here
Let alone in lace
I said, "You can call me dusk,
But Dawn is my name."
He asked, "What's the difference?"
One you have to tame
He said, "I love my wife."
In a tongue of bad faith
I told him she can watch
And we can call it a date
You can be discreet
But you've shown your face
I know your type
I won't play your games
You hide in the shadows in a cold embrace
But I am not the same
You wanna' treat me like your baby girl
But you don't know my name
You wanna' keep it on the down low
But I cannot be contained
You don't deserve to see me standing here
Let alone in lace

My tears fill up my cup
It's something that I can't have
It's never enough
Time is money
And I can't afford your understanding
And I can't buy my truth
The latter's out of stock
And the rest is of no use
Driving down the highway
Thinking what have I got to lose
They never cared about him
Much less about you
Driving down the highway
Thinking what have I got to prove
When it doesn't mean a thing
Least of all, to you
If money can't buy me happiness
Tell me: Why's it worth my while?
If money can't buy me happiness
Tell me: Why's it worth my while?
If money can't buy me happiness
Tell me: Why's it worth my while?
If money can't buy me happiness
Tell me: Why's it worth my while?
If money can't buy me happiness
Tell me: Why's it worth my while?
If money can't buy me happiness
Tell me: Why's it worth my while?

My Condolences

You're reppin' the tea party up and down the avenue
Don't step on the snake
But you better back the blue
It's a bit ironic
I've got some news for you
You can't have your boot and eat it too
You say the medias corrupt
And I won't deny it
They've got the money in their pockets
And they've got us divided
Your own is not different
Don't tell me their lies
When the fuckers at the top won't look you in the eye
Didn't ask for any of this
Won't waste my breath on you
My condolences
Didn't ask for any of this
It's not the battle I'd choose
My condolences
First thing I remember is gasping for breath
You shoved it all down till there was nothin' left
I didn't know it back then, but it finally clicked
A little more fucked than you'd like to admit
Choke
I don't have the heart to keep this up
Now where is home, but a gaping wound
Now I know how the saying goes
Drowning in the water of the womb
Didn't ask for any of this
Won't waste my breath on you
My condolences
Didn't ask for any of this
It's not the battle I'd choose
The boys are done playing in the sticks and mud
One chose a can of soup
The other chose a gun
And your comfort came second to none
Now bite your fucking tongue

The cold comes
I don't really mind
The cold comes
But you just hold me tight
It's been hard I know
But when you're feelin' low
Just know you're not alone
Just hold your head up high
And the sun will start to glow
The cold comes
But you keep me warm inside
The cold comes
But I keep you on my mind

Glycerin free so it doesn't get tacky
How many can I take before it kills me?
What brings you in today?
My feet
Tranny so fine I can't believe it's not pussy
Can I take a smoke break real quick?
Yeah
It's fine
Everything is fine
I'll do what I have to do in order to cope
Will you breed me, Daddy?
It's okay
We can just pretend
I didn't want to be a mother anyways
I don't have sovereignty over my body
This body isn't even mine
Do you like to read?
I might be sad, but at least the ice-cream is gay
Have you tried LSD?
I'm not of sound enough mind
I might be horny on main, but at least I'm not Rivers Cuomo
Jesus fuck
They don't cut your dick off
That's just not how it works

I'd like to take the world by storm
But you know how the weather changes in this town
I find it hard to find a norm
When I keep takin' time from those with crowns
I'd like to take the world by storm
But you know how the weather changes in this town
A little down
Tis the season
They came around and gave you a reason
Not to bury your head in the sand
Shut your mouth
Don't you even
You get around, but your heart's not beatin'
Half is on your sleeve
And the rest is in their hand
Tell me something I don't know
'Cause I keep saying all the things that I've said before
I'd like to take the world by storm
But you know

Over My Dead Name Boise, Idaho
Scatter-brained trans girl from Boise, Idaho.
Over My Dead Name recommends:
Crutch
by King and Queen of the Losers
I used to be in another band, and we played a few shows with King and Queen. They blew my mind and are one of the bands that inspired me to pursue music. Also check out their album American Squalor.

Sidney has such an amazing voice. I love her lyrics and word play. This is one of the first albums I came across on BC and it remains one of my favorites. Not But For You, Bunny is such a cool track.
