Dysphoria

by Saint Wellesley

on You Don't Know Shit 'Bout (2017)

[Verse 1]
Binding my chest and biting my tongue
Wearing boxers never fixed anyone
Biking on Bloor could have had me beaten
It's a risk I'll take
I feel so defeated

[Chorus]
Dysphoria
Dysphoria
Dysphoria
Dysphoria
And this is the last time
I'll allow my ribs to be swollen
And I'll grow out my hair
And pretend I don't care
And maybe my ribs are broken

[Verse 2]
Being young and gay
Is romantic and upsetting
Explaining why you love someone to God, She keeps forgetting
She said “gender is a universe and we are all stars”
And I believed Her
Because this planet is bigger than us
Someday we'll leave Her

[Chorus]
-phoria
Dysphoria
Dysphoria
Dysphoria
And this is the last time
I'll allow my ribs to be swollen
And I'll get a little thin but I'll feel better in my skin
And baby, my ribs don't feel broken

[Bridge]
This body's made for loving
It's not a place for betting
Let's run around and get all sweaty
I wanna feel myself get healthy

Dysphoria's a bitch
I wanna kick her in a ditch
It's not fair to wanna itch
All of the places that don't fit

[Chorus]
Dysphoria
Dysphoria
And this is the last time
I'll allow my ribs to be swollen
