Same Bones​:​New Body

from Hey There, Voyeur! by The Variants

lyrics

Everyday starts the same
don’t know my strength
don’t know my name

Who is the figure I ask
some sort of demon
some sort of mask

Every choice I made
was all for them
for every step they take

I really couldn’t feel
how empty and hollow
as cold as steel

Look in the mirror it’s not your face
Can’t find yourself, no single trace
Everything changes but the structure remains

I was a woman made man
I fit the picture in their mind
Everyday they like it better
But it isn’t mine

Same bones—New body

Everyday I’m not the same
I’ve bounded my strength
I’ve now found my name

Who this figure is I’ve learned
Cast out the demon
The mask has been burned

Every choice I make
Is all for me
With every step I take

All the things I feel
Are tangible, solid
As sure a steel

I look in the mirror I can see my face
A little more gentle a little more grace
Everything changes but the structure remains.

Now a man-made woman
I fit the picture in my mind
Every day it is different
But it’s way more mine

Now I’m a self made human
With emotions and a mind
Everyday my life get’s better
Because it’s finally mine

Same bones—new body
