The Hotelier - Life In Drag Lyrics
I tried to keep a steady hand.Tumble blocksstart again.I held your side when you let goand you came back well-rehearsedin holding your own.A broken seal/a past self known.Retrieve my heart from the Alamo.I need it hereto touch your skin,reconfigure, deconstruct, and begin.The centers shrunk between your eyes.Sharper corners/broader sides.And I felt weakin woman's wear.Gender*****ed, dilated,stuck holding a stare.You taught me how to guard my self.To keep my heartunscathed in health.I think you got carried away.Reached out your hand,it carried youaway.Well it's life in drag.You wore and armor that covered your face.It's life in drag.I wore hands high to show truce and embracing.It's life in drag.Who taught you how to hate your self?Who forced you to confide in spell?Mistook 'pathetic'for empathy.Cast a stone at the foeand the stone hit me.I held your handin ritualto show disarming.While you were a weaponinside your selfinside your body.I can't pretend,I can't conceal my apprehension.When pressed againstthe callous of your palmI reconciledbecause you couldn't feel me there.You wore the binary like a badge of honor.While I struggled dealing with the loss of yet anotherlife in drag.
