Caught!
(Based on "Damaged" by Danity Kane)
Do you want to talk about it honey
Please how do I repair your trust in me
I need your patient understanding
But you might need some time
to figure out your heart and mind
Please don't you leave me
can't live without you, see
Baby, But this need is driving me crazy
and you caught me dressed as a lady
And I know it caused you some
Damage, damage, damage
I know I should have let you know
now your trust in me is damaged
damaged, damaged
And its all my fault, I know
Tell me how to fix this, fix this, fix this
Baby, I've got to know
What are you going to do?
Baby I've got to know
Do you think we're through?
Yes I want to talk about it honey
We can get through this, trust me
I have patience, understanding
I have not stopped being yours
and you are always going to be mine
But I must have lost your trust?
“Sorry” doesn't seem enough
my actions must have hurt you so much
tell me please
is our marriage in pieces
or can we put it together again?
I'm past the damage, damage
now that I finally know
hiding it from me caused us damage damage
but I forgive you, you know
together we can fix it, fix it, fix it
Baby, you got to know,
we can make it through
Baby, you got to know,
I will always love you
If you will be truthful now
we can still make it somehow
no more damage
Together we are up to the challenge
get past the damage,
damage, damage
finally I let you know
inside of me was damaged,
damaged, damaged
hiding from you was wrong, I know
stop the damage, damage
can i ever be made whole
I'll help you with the damage, damage
I will still be yours
together we can fix it, fix it, fix it
(Oh hon, this pain)
together we can fix it, fix it, fix it
(couldn't keep it inside)
together we can fix it, fix it, fix it
(Sweetie you're not alone)
together we can fix it, fix it, fix it
(we will pray, we will try)
our love it isn't damaged, damaged
(and it's going to be all right)
Our love isn't damaged, damaged
(this too shall pass)
Our love isn't damaged, damaged
(I understand your pain)
our love isn't damaged, damaged
(soon we will just have joy)
Hon, my love hasn't changed
no matter what we go through
this too shall pass.
Dorothy Leads the Show
Based on "Come and Join the Show, which you can find here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q37pqbKFx5E
Dark thoughts cling like ink
As the black dog tries to claim
It will take me to the brink
Saying I am the one to blame
I’m sinking, sinking, sinking
My thoughts dive into the dark,
But the dark will no longer rule me
The light soon will spark
I won't sink into the abyss below
Though of my faults I’m well aware
You will see it, it will be such a show
I won't mind if you stare
Depression lies to tangle in
Tries to get me lost to fear
It counts out each and every sin
But soon I’ll be in the clear.
I’m so much more than it can know
It says there’s nowhere left to go
But take a seat, Depression
Dorothy leads the show.
I was lost in the depths of dark
My world filled with fear and dread
But an angel was inside my heart
And she beat the demon in my head
I was sinking, sinking, sinking
My fears ruled my home
But each step since has me thinking
I’ll turn my fear to foam
Won’t sink into the abyss below
Depression’s tricks I’m well aware
My heart it soon will glow
I will soar into the air
No web of lies to struggle by
My path it is so clear
The future it will be mine
As Dorothy does appear
I’ll show all there is of me to know,
Upward is where I will go
Take a seat, Depression,
Dorothy leads the show.
Depression lied, I was not on my own
It made me moan but I found my home
The path before me God’s always known
One day I’ll be before his throne
Go forward wont backtrack
Depression I will attack
It won't make a comeback
It tries to attack, but it cannot hack
My heart is no longer black
No cage for me my soul has flown
I will cling unto the Stone
Soon Depression will depart
Won’t wallow in the dark
It tried to fill me with disgust
So I’d see myself as unjust
But soon my heart will glow
Be a dove and not a crow
Won't sink into the abyss below
Depression’s tricks I’m well aware
My heart it soon will glow
And fly into the air
No web of lies to struggle by
My path ahead is clear
The end of depression is nigh
As Dorothy does appear
I’m so much more than it can know
Upward is where I will go
So take a seat, Depression
Cause Dorothy leads the show
Dysphoria
(With apologies to Rhianna)
What’s wrong with me?
Why do I feel like this?
I’m going crazy now ...
Want to give up the mask
(don’t how to get started)
Not sure I’m up to the task
(how how to talk about it)
Always hiding in my head
(tired of thinking about it)
Feels like I’m going insane ...yeah
It’s a pain in the night and it grabs me
Creeps up inside and consumes me
A hole in my heart and it breaks me
Where can I find comfort?
Time to break out
Or sit back and wonder
Can I pay the price
Or will I just go under ?
Always think twice
And start to flounder
So though I might falter
It’s time ...
My mind is in dysphoria
It’s like nothing feels right
Dysphoria
I’m scaring me tonight
My mind is in dysphoria
Not as brave as I’d like
Dysphoria
(bum bum be-dum bum de dum bum) (x4)
Pictures of me when I was small
Feels like they’re mocking me
Disconnected from my soul
Forgotten how to sing
I gotta get out, or figure this stuff out
I could use some comfort - oh
It’s a pain in the night and it grabs me
Creeps up inside and consumes me
A hole in my heart and it breaks me
I feel like a monster
Time to break out
Or sit back and wonder
Can I pay the price
Or will I just go under ?
No time to think twice
My course is set I can’t falter
Cause if i stop now, I will die
My mind is in dysphoria
It’s like nothing feels right
Dysphoria
I’m scaring me tonight
Dysphoria
My mind is in dysphoria
Not as brave as I’d like
Dysphoria
Can I get out of this mess I’m in
Trying my best but strugglin’
But its time for me to go-o-o
I think I’m gonna
Time to break out
Or sit back and wonder
Can I pay the price
Or will I just go under ?
No time to think twice
Or I might start to falter
So even if I stumble, it’s time ...
No more dysphoria
Time to step into the light
Dysphoria
Even though I’m scared I’m gonna try
Cant take the dysphoria
So no matter what you like
Dysphoria
Time is now, here I go ...
End
Girl ‘n Boy
(with apologies to Katy Perry)
I would like to
Be a girl, wear the clothes
Yeah I am a mess
As boy,
don’t you know
I over-think
Never speak
Keep inside me
I should know
Its not good for me
(chorus)
I’m girl, I’m a boy
My gender a toy
I just want to shout
Got to get it out
I’m wrong it’s not right
But it’s not black and white
I fight it I lose
No way I can choose
One side to stay how?
When both I’m in now
I’m a boy, I’m a girl
Give each side a twirl
I just want to shout
Got to get it out
Or I will fall down
I used to be
So confused, gone insane
I was just lost,
Yeah, totally
Unable to move,
do anything
My mind might as well,
be gone fishing
I know now
I’m not going to change
(repeat chorus)
Someone call a doctor
Got a case of bi-gender
Stuck on a roller coaster
Can’t get off this ride
I would like to
Be a girl, wear the clothes
(repeat chorus)
God's Design (sung to the tune "Flawed Design, by Sabilo)
When I was a young boy, knew I was different,
had feelings in me that I tried to control,
I was tempted no matter how I'd run
Then as I got older things got worse
'cause this need it beat me,
could not stop myself from wanting it
I tried to resist them cause I felt the difference
between what I needed and the world's view
Though I could not be happy, and hated my failing,
tried to act as a male, felt I could not give in
So I had to turn off
Had to shut down
resist the force within,
hide it under ground
I had to turn off
Had to shut down
and tried to pray instead
God, I die
I have the need here
to be female all the time
God, I try
to fight against it,
but could it be all be just a part of
Your design
But lately I have figured out,
could not worry about other people,
want to be able to sleep at night
So I ask for your permission
and I hope that its okay
I promised to serve you
and I will trust you
I am trying to make sure,
I know the devil is devious,
I feel its not a sin to re-make myself,
and that soothes my conscience
God I'll try
its time to be me,
to be female all the time
no need to fight against it,
I am now sure that its all a part of
Your Design
No need to hide myself,
that's what I now believe
I can be honest now,
have a smile on my face
No need to hide myself,
that's what I now believe
I can be honest now,
have a smile on my face
Don't have to turn off
Don't have to shut down
Now my heart is fertile ground
Don't have to turn off
Don't have to shut down
my soul is at rest,
no pain in my head.
No need to die
be who I need to
be female all the time
so I'll try
and I am sure now
God is with me,
and it is all
In God's Design
Being a girl’s (got me shook)
Chorus:
Being a girl’s got me shook
I have come to realize
Nor more time for lies
Having to fake it got to me
Tired of the masking
Want to dance and sing
And say just what I like
No longer weak, being me is sweet
don’t turn off the all the lights
‘cause it finally feels right
Being a girl’s got me shook
Ready to take a risk
With the help of my clique
Before it gets too late
And I am swallowed by hate
Look at me what do you see
Take another look please
Look inside I might just blow your mind
Couldn’t concentrate, keeping it inside
Was killing me
Now I can be cool, no need to be slick
Now that I know I am a chick
Its what I feel inside
Want it to come out right
And finally be real tonight
Repeat Chorus
Go shopping, its like a fashion show
Takes forever to get to go
Look in the mirror - hay
Seeing a girl at last - yay
Sporting some sexy gear
To help control my fear
I’ve got a secret, but this girl’s ready to hang with
Couldn’t concentrate, keeping it inside
Was killing me
Now I can be cool, no need to be slick
Now that I know I am chick
Its what I feel inside
Want it to come out right
And finally be real tonight
Repeat chorus.
I can’t wait (to do it again) (with apologies to Miley Cyrus)
I’ve got my sights set on this
Its become my aim
I’ve got this need that can’t
Be explained
I need something special
And its not a game
Now I cant wait to do it again
No one near believes me
But it feels right
I can’t deny the power
Of a feminine life
I have tried to suppress it
Tell the world lies
Now I cant wait to do it again
(chorus)
The first time I freaked out
I was just starting out
But I felt so beautiful
It was all I could think about
Felt like I couldn’t breathe
To see this side of me
I could tell myself
I’m finally being Dorothy
The next time I go out
I will be myself
My mind cant rest ‘til then
Whoa! Whoa! I
I cant wait to do it again
I’ve got this crazy feeling
Deep inside
Like she was calling me to
Let her out right
I’m not an expert here
But I can read the signs
And I cant wait to do it again
(repeat chorus)
I’ve got my sights set on this
Its become my aim
(repeat chorus)
I changed to a girl
(with apologies to Katy Perry)
This is exactly what I planned
Its my intention
But I’m not brave my heart in hand
Its desperation
It is what I want to
Just want to try it on
I’m curious are you?
Its my obsession
(chorus)
I changed to a girl and I liked it
The taste of wearing lipstick
I changed to a girl just to try it
Hope all my friends don’t mind it
It feels so wrong and yet so right
Don’t mean I’m insane tonight
I changed to a girl and I liked it
I liked it
You don’t even know my name
Or why it matters
There is no one else to blame
Its not in nature
Its not what good boys do
Not how they should behave
My head is so confused
Hard not to obey
(repeat chorus)
You girls you are so magical
Dresses, high heels and sweet perfume
Hard to resist I want them all
Try to deny it
It’s a big deal not innocent
(repeat chorus)
I dont wanna do this anymore ...
This one is based on "Unfaithful" by Rihanna, which can be found here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rp4UwPZfRis&ob=av2e
This one has some strong themes, read with caution
Story of my life,
knowing I dont have the right
to live the truth buried deep in me
The sorrow in my soul
I know you think its wrong
but staying this way will kill me
I tried to be a man
promised you my love
That’s the reason I’m so blue
A storm is rolling in
cause you’d be gone again
Unless I hide the truth
But I know I’m transgender
and it kills me inside
You know I cant be happy
trying to be a guy
Can’t you see I’m dying?
(chorus)
I dont wanna do this anymore
will you really be the reason why
I’m afraid you’ll walk out the door
make me die a little more inside
I dont wanna hurt you oh no
But I just cant live a lie
and do you wanna be
a murderer
(verse 2)
I can see you always stare
checking my nails and hair
make me hide another day
but if I gave you just a peek
could you accept reality
There’s nothing in me to hate
I try to hold on
Pretend I’m not a girl
A lie I’m to tired to tell
If you could only know
That I’m about to blow
And I know it very well
cause I know I’m transgender
and it kills me inside
trying to be happy
pretending to be a guy
Cant you see I’m dying
(Repeat chorus)
love lost, now mistrust
you might as well take a gun and
put it to my head
Get it over with
I cant do this anymore
(Anymore)
(Repeat chorus)
I think I'd Never Look Back
Author’s note: This is based on "I think I’d have a heart attack", which you can find a version of here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xR0HrrIXjBk
I always had my defences up
never could admit who I was
because if I ever did that
I know I could never look back
Always knew that I had to hide
Always had to try to be a guy
Never talk about what I want
Even though it made life so tough
Pretended I didn’t care
that they took my girl doll
and cut my hair
though inside I felt the fall
Inside I always felt like a girl
wanted to paint my nails and wear high heels
knew if I gave in that things would soon get out of hand
Must keep up the show
I cover up, won't let it show
So I'm put my defenses up
Cause I don't wanna be found out
If I ever did that, I think I'd never look back
I think I'd never look back
Never could really be like other guys
but cant tell the truth, I’m paralyzed
And every time I want to be myself
It comes out wrong like a cry for help
It's just not fair
assigned me a sex at my birth
I gasp for air
and everyday it only hurts
Inside I always felt like a girl
wanted to paint my nails and wear perfume
knew if I gave in that things would soon get out of hand
Must keep up the show
I cover up, won't let it show
So I'm put my defenses up
Cause I don't wanna be found out
If I ever did that, I think I'd never look back
I think I'd never look back
The feelings got lost in my lungs
They're burning, I'd rather be numb
And there's no one else to blame
So scared I'll take off and run
I'm flying too close to the sun
And I'll burst into flames
Must keep up the show
I cover up, won't let it show
So I'm put my defenses up
Cause I don't wanna be found out
If I ever did that, I think I'd never look back
I think I’d never look back
I think I’d never look back
I think I’d never look back ...
guess what I never looked back!
I want a huggle-bug for Christmas
I want a huggle-bug for Christmas
Only a huggle-bug will do
I don't want a doll, no dinky Tinkertoy
I want a huggle-bug to play with and enjoy
I want a huggle-bug for Christmas
I don't think Santa Claus will mind, do you?
He won't have to use our dirty chimney flue
Just bring him through the front door
That's the easy thing to do
I can see me now on Christmas morning
Creeping down the stairs
Oh, what joy and what surprise
When I open up my eyes
To see my happy huggle standing there
I want a huggle-bug for Christmas
Only a huggle-bug will do
she can spread the girly-germs
to every girly-girl
And even tomboys like me too
I want a huggle-bugs for Christmas
a huggle-bug is all I want
And if I were to get two
I'll share one with you!

With apologies to Panic at the Disco
Oh, well imagine, as the bride paces the pews of a church corridor, and she
Can’t help but to hear, no she can’t help but to hear an exchanging of words
“What a beautiful wedding. What a beautiful wedding” says the bridesmaid to a waiter
“And yes what a shame, what a shame the groom is really a trans girl”
She chimes in with “Haven’t you people ever heard of loving a trans girl? I wanted to marry someone with a sense of grace and femininity”
She chimes in with “Haven’t you people ever heard of loving a trans girl? I wanted to marry someone with a sense of . . . oh”
“Well in fact”, she says, “look at it this way I mean so what the secret is out. This calls for a toast so pour the champagne.” (ohh)
“Well in fact”, she says, “look at it this way I mean so what the secret is out. This calls for a toast so pour the champagne, pour the champagne.”
She chimes in with “Haven’t you people ever heard of loving a trans girl? oh, I wanted to marry someone with a sense of grace and femininity ”
She chimes in with “Haven’t you people ever heard of loving a trans girl? Oh, I wanted to marry someone with a sense of grace . . . and femininity . . .”

I’m glued
(with apologies to Eiffel 65)
Yo listen up
Here’s the story
About a little guy
That lives in a glue world
And all day and all night
Everything he sees is
Just glued
To him inside, and outside
Glued in a dress
Glued to some high heels too
And glued to a corset
And everything is glued
Including his breasts
And he sings to himself
Cause he aint got nobody to listen ..
(chorus)
“I’m glued ...
Da Ba de da ba die
Da ba de da ba die
Da ba de da ba die
Da ba de da ba die
Da ba de da ba die
Da ba de da ba die
Da ba de da ba die
I’m glued ...
Da ba de da ba die
Da be de da ba die
Da be de da ba die
Da be de da ba die
Da be de da ba die
Da be de da ba die
Da be de da ba die
(verse)
Glued to a blue dress
And glued heels oh no!
Glue is the reason for of all that I wear
Glued are my breasts and my vag too
I had a girlfriend
She’s the reason I’m glued.
Glued is the makeup the change so profound
Glued is the corset so I can barely sigh
Dont know what to say or even what to think
I think I like this, what’s that say about me?
(repeat chorus)
(repeat verse)
(repeat chorus)
End?
If I were a girl
(With apologies to Beyonce)
If I were a girl
Even just for a day
I’d take an hour to get ready
‘cause I’d know they’d have to wait
Go shop with the girls
And laugh at the boys
I’d be welcome at the party
Get to be so pretty
‘cause then I’d be free to be me
If I were a girl
I’d make them understand
What it’s like to be feminine
No need to pretend to be a man
They’d listen to me
‘cause they know how it hurts
Trying to be someone you’re not
Tie yourself up in to knots
And end up being destroyed
If I were a girl
I would turn on my phone
Tell everyone to call me
‘cause it’s better than being alone
I might hike up my skirt
Maybe wiggle and wink
‘cause that’s how to get my way
And I know how guys think
But I’m just a boy
I don’t understand
Don’t know why I have this need
To know how it feels to be a girl
Sometimes I wish I were a better man
They don’t listen to me
Don’t care if I’m free
Or if I lose everything I’ve wanted
They are taking me for granted
And I risk being destroyed
I’m just a boy . . .
(for now)
It’s not a disease
With apologies to Matchbox 20
Some say it's a mistake
But I got tired of the heartbreak
But I had to let Todd go
Cause he was just a show
Being trans was a pain
Even on my good days
It was scary, I’m sure you know
But I had to let him go
I had to turn me over
Had to say I tried,
No longer hold Dorothy down
Had to be a girl
Or it would break my heart
It’s not a disease
A girl deep inside me
Always felt uneasy baby
I needed to live true
What else was I supposed to do about it
Don’t need to keep your distance from it
You got to listen to me
It’s not a disease
You might think I’m a mess
Wanting to go around in a nice dress
But Dorothy was a fire
And every day I burned
No it's not that tragic
Being me it feels like magic
Being a girl
Now I can breathe
No it’s not a disease
A girl deep inside of me
Always felt uneasy baby
I found a way to live true
What else could I do about it
Don’t need to keep your distance from it
You got to listen to me
It’s not a disease
Some think that I’m sick
But if you would just take the time to listen to me
Being Dorothy is freedom honey
Don’t you see I’m better honey
Listen to this song
I’m telling you it’s not that wrong
I have no disease
No it’s not a disease
I’m free to be me
And it's not a disease.
Jaci and the Dot
Its Jaci and the Dot,
Jaci and the Dot
one admits she's girly, the other says she's not
They're transgender girls
wear dresses give them a twirl
They're Jaci, Jaci and the Dot, Dot, Dot . . .
Before this song is done, their girl germs will be hurled
by the dawning of the sun, they'll girlify the world
They're Jaci and the Dot,
Jaci and the Dot
We'll let you in on the plot
girl germs they have brought
to prove their girly worth
they'll girlify the Earth
They're Jaci, Jaci and the Dot, Dot, Dot, Dot . . .
Jess is a girl (Thanks to Renee M for the edit)
this is based on the old song "Jessie's girl", a version of which can be found here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hiaKiqIsi2s
Jess is my name,
yeah, they said I've been a boy all my life,
But today something changed
that ain't hard to define.
Now they know I am a girl and that I was all the time.
I was watching girls with my eyes;
And I was envying their bodies,
couldn’t hold it.
And I was praying to my God
every single night.
But now, they know that Jess is a girl,
they know that Jess is a girl.
Finally came out as a woman - like that.
I got tired of the charade
I finally knew it was time,
I had to change.
I used to feel so dirty wanting to be cute,
wish that I had come out sooner, but that feeling's kinda moot.
I kept watching girls with my eyes,
And I was envying their clothes and couldn’t stop it.
And I was praying to my God every single night.
But now, they know Jess is a girl
They know that Jess is a girl.
Finally came out as a woman - like that.
Know that Jess is a girl,
they know that Jess is a girl.
Came right out as a woman,
as a woman - like that.
And I looked in the mirror all the time,
hating the boy I would see instead of me.
I would struggle and would cry all the time,
ain't it finally time for me to be me?
So I,
Came out as a woman - just like that,
out as a woman - just like that.
Now they all know Jess is a girl,
they know that Jess is a girl.
Came out as a woman - as a woman - like that.
Yes, Jess is a girl,
no doubt that Jess is a girl,
you’ll see that Jess is a girl
Just a ghost
(Based on "Ghost" by Fefe Dobson
I'm a go-go-go-ghost
just a go-go-go-ghost
Once a girl in a photograph
but can I ever get me back?
Or become just a memory
not my real identity.
I had a name
fought the fight
now I wonder if I'll ever get it right
feel the shame
live the lie
praying in the middle of the night
I'm scared I will become a ghost
once all my dreams were oh so close
But my fears have made me start to fail
will the real me disappear?
I'm scared I will become a ghost
not true, not true
Please God no
My fears make me start to fail
will the real me disappear?
Be a go-go-go-ghost
just a go-go-go-ghost
will I lose the gift of being me
let the real me get away
let being real become a dream
and live only in misery
I had a name
fought the fight
now I wonder if I'll ever get it right
feel the shame
live the lie
praying in the middle of the night
I'm scared I will become a ghost
once all my dreams were oh so close
But my fears have made me start to fail
will the real me disappear?
I'm scared I will become a ghost
not true, not true
Please God no
My fears make me start to fail
will the real me disappear?
Be a go-go-go-ghost
just a go-go-go-ghost
Got to be out
but now I'm not
Don't want to let Dorothy go
cause she is my soul
I had a name
fought the fight
now I wonder if I'll ever get it right
feel the shame
live the lie
praying to God in the middle of the night
I'm scared I will become a ghost
once all my dreams were oh so close
But my fears have made me start to fail
will the real me disappear?
I'm scared I will become a ghost
not true, not true
Please God no
My fears make me start to fail
will the real me disappear?
Be a go-go-go-ghost
just a go-go-go-ghost (repeat and fade)

LET IT BURN
(sung to the tune of "Walk through the fire" from Buffy the Vampire Slayer)
I touch the clothes and it changes me
They show everything I lack
I’d like to change, my body re-arrange
And never to look back
Now in my head, she calls to me
She want to begin the change
To seize the day, or just fade away
The choices are insane
But can I have my desire
Or where else can I turn
Because they are a fire
And it . . .
The cross I bear is crushing me
The devil’s laughing I have no doubt
It makes me cry, it makes me want to die
But I have to tough it out
‘cause I am drawn to desire
I think I’ll never learn
The urge is a fire
And it . . .
Will it really change me
Imprison or will it free me
And am I too far gone to care
What if I went ahead and did it
Reach for the dreams I’ve needed
Or I could give up and just stare
I’ll make it through, its what I have to do
So I will turn from my desire
So day by day I stagger through
Without my dreams my life is cold
But what’s inside, I must always hide
And it never can be told
I walk on the edge of danger
Don’t know what can save me
Everything is becoming dark
Though I reach out in prayer
The situation’s still the same here
wonder if there will ever be a spark
These endless days, will end in a blaze
And I am caught by desire
The point of no return
The urge is a fire
And it,
Burns
Let it burn, let it burn,
Let it burn
Let me go (Parody of let it go)
I dont really want to argue tonight
cover ground we’ve already been
I’m tired and so frustrated
Its time for me to be seen
You always were denying that I was stuck inside
You couldn’t keep me down, even though you tried
Please let me out
please let them see
there was always a real girl inside of thee
dont hide what we feel
its time to let them know
Its my turn to show
Let me go, let me go
dont hold me back anymore
Let me go, let me go
no more hiding behind the door
I know you’re scared
about what will they say
but its past time now
and it cant get worse here anyway
its funny how life works
you tried to make me so small
all that fear controlled you
couldnt keep me down at all
its time to see what I can do
break the closet and step through
Its right, not wrong, to let me be
so free ...
Let me go, let me go
I believe that I can fly
Let me go, let me go
there’ll be no more tears to cry
I know you’re scared
about what will they say
but its past time now
I’ve always been part of you, even when I made no sound
I promise to do you proud, if only I am allowed
It will be an adventure, such a blast
Its time to let me out, let the past be in the past
Let me go, let me go
Its time to be moving on
Let me go, let me go
the boy-mask should be gone
I know you’re scared
about what will they say
but its past time now
and it cant get worse here anyway
End.

Nightmare Dance
Verse 1: I can't take it anymore
I've considered sleeping on the floor
as every time in sleep I drift away
my mind and body they begin to play
I'm always thrashing, as dreams go through my mind
cause my subconscious hunt for darkness to find
my pillows fly from the bed on which I lay
and the covers go they never want to stay
Chorus: its always been this way,
it never seems to change
and I just can't find
a way to calm my mind
Every night I'm thrashing, doing the nightmare dance (x2)
Verse 2: no one can tell me that it's fair
sometimes I sleep better than in a chair
I never seem to have a happy dream
and every night you can hear my screams
(Repeat Chorus)
nightmare's expire - yeah (x2)
one day I hope no more nasty dreams
silence instead of nightly screams
one day I'm hoping I wont be doing the nightmare dance (x4)

No more waiting, oh
Parody of "What you waiting for" by Gwen Stefani which can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f5qICl3Fr3w
I know it’s finally time
Time for all to see
Too many years gone by
Now I have to be free ...
(Tick-tock, tick tock, tick- tock ..)
Since I was born,
mistaken for a boy
Internal conversations,
How much could I take?
What if they say I’m a sinner ?
Naturally I worried I’d be all alone.
Everybody seems to care,
Even if it’s my life I should get a chance to make
And take a chance, see what grows
Oh ...
No more waiting
No more waiting
No more waiting ...
No more waiting
oh ...
(x2)
Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock
I’ll take the chance see what grows
Going round in circles
Repeating myself
I know my heart,
No more standing in one place
Dorothy blossoms or I’ll perish ...
I’ll have trouble because of my sex chromosome
People will think I’m messed up
It’s how our society thinks
But life is short, and I’m capable
Oh ...
Look at my life now
Showing all I am a female
Got my ID and all that
No more running round the boy track
No more waiting
No more waiting
No more waiting
No more waiting
No more waiting
Oh ...
(X 2)
Couldn’t wait no more
no going back in my plans
It’s here that I take my stand
Dorothy Colleen, oh ...
Yes I am a girl,
Working on my own kind of style
Woah ...
Look at my life now
Showing all I am a female
Got my ID and all that
No more running round the boy track
No more waiting
No more waiting
No more waiting
No more waiting
No more waiting
Oh ...
(X 2)
No more waiting, oh
No more waiting oh
Took a chance to see what grows
Took a chance
See what grows
No more waiting, oh
No more waiting oh
Took a chance to see what grows ...

Ballad of Ted Bandpat
Come listen to my story
About a man named Ted
A poor trans girl
Lived inside his head
Then one day when crying feeling blue
She decided she would stop being a fake dude
Be a girl, that is, both pretty and bold
Be called a “she”
Well the first thing you know
She was out and didn’t care
Even though her friends online
Said “move away from there”
But her family showed their quality
And loved her so she didn’t have to flee
Surprised her, they did
Held her hand, and had her back
She said good-bye to Ted, not gonna be one of the men.
And she would like to thank her folks for dealing with the spin
And if you are ever near to her locality
She’d be glad to show you hospitality
Girly style that is. Pink tablecloth. Perfume in the air
So you all go down there, you hear?
Its time to be me
Its my hope that you wont be upset
Because of the truth I have said
Hope you will be ok with what I do
Used to hide away every night
Trying to pretend it wasn’t what I’d like
But my story wont be done till I’m true
I want short skirts instead of t-shirts
To be the cheer captain, no longer on the bleachers
Dreaming of the day when I would finally find
Its what I have wanted the whole time
Finally ready to be the real me
She’s been inside all along you see
Its time to be me, its time to be me
Walking down the street its like a dream
I’ve always known its how it aught to be
Laughing at my fear, just being myself
Although it wasn’t easy
Now I’ve got a smile instead of a frown
No more keeping my real self down
I’ll be fine you can count on that
Now that I’ve let this girl in me be free
Wearing my high heels, no more sneakers
Be the Cheer captain and not on the bleachers
No more dreaming of what I would find
Now I am the me I needed to be the whole time
Finally ready to be the real me
She’s been inside all along you see
Its time to be me
Time for me to go out the door
This is what I’ve been waiting for
Yeh, its time to be me, time to be me
I remember I tried so hard to fight
All the time all I did was cry
It was all my hopes and dreams
But now its finally time to be me
Don’t know if anyone understands me
She’s been in me all along see
Now its time to be me, time to be me
Its time to be me
I’m almost ready
Its time to be me
Time to be me
We can’t be Erased
Ah, I can't help but weep for the status of my nation.
Bigots have been unleashed, like for a signal they were waiting
What I would see as a nightmare, they see as the best dream
All us trans folks ground up in the machine
I see the product of the hatred, I fear I will have to fight
Or soon all people like me will be denied their human rights
They have freed themselves from reason, see things in black and white
They call me a seed of evil, but that’s the hate they have let into their mind;
It started out on four-chan, now it’s becoming policy in time
Do they really mean it or is it a way to keep their fans in line
Stacking the courts, claim it pleases the divine
Can be this what they believe, cause I think its deceiving them with lies
Holy God, can you see all of my tears?
It appears they might want me murdered here
Bible Thumpers I have learned to fear
Kinda reminds me of the Nazi’s work here
Why is this happening, my own life I just want to be living;
I don’t know how to respond to people calling me a demon
But if they think I’m alone, they better recount the gate
Cause alone is one thing that I am surely aint
I will keep my own happiness, I won't drown in dark despair;
Those who would discriminate they better think and beware
Hope is mightier than fear, it has no limitations
No matter what they do nothing can erase us now
We will fight and will not surrender
No matter what the cost
We want the harm to pause
Just go ahead and let us live our life
You wanted us shamed and disgraced
You’re tainted by hatred we can’t be erased
Even if allies betray us we go on to state
No matter what you do, we can’t be erased;
I am not a monster, I am just the same as you
But I will not stand by while trans folks are abused
The hate is growing
The laws are coming
But I will not run even if the brown shirts are coming
I’ll gather all my friends, together we’ll make a stand
Right from the start our resistance is planned
I have hope and faith and maybe holy light
Wont just hide, I will stand and fight
Hateful people on my TV
They always say I cannot be real
But stop the nonsense, I’m just as real
As any of them, they are going to have to deal
To their humanity I must appeal
I hope it's there, just concealed
Fact is we exist no matter what they feel
They must be stopped, the world must heal
A little love is needed quick
So all these hateful acts will soon quit
I know they’re scared that I have a dick
I wish it gone, so I could just be a chick
I’m saddened by this evil growing, trying not to give in to people loathing
The darkness is not hiding it is showing, hearts must be open not be closing;
Flood the internet where the hate is flowing, replace it with loving knowing;
There is no way we will be going
My spirit will never be kept from floating
Join with me, our strength will be showing
No trans folk should be feeling lonely
Progress will be made very slowly
But I believe our cause is holy
You wanted us shamed and disgraced
You’re tainted by hatred we can’t be erased
Even if allies betray us we go on to state
No matter what you do, we can’t be erased;

What do you want to be?
(based on the Adam Lambert song “What do you want from me?”
Hay, stop with the frown
What do you want to be ?
What do you want to be?
Don’t, be afraid,
What do you want to be?
What do you want to be?
Its not a crime
to be yourself today
don’t you know by now,
That I don’t give a dam
And now, here you are
So what do you want to be?
What do you want to be?
(chorus)
And don’t give up
Keep working it out
Please don’t give in
It will bring you down
The world’s messed up
Need courage to be
Just keep from going down
Hey!
What do you want to be?
What do you want to be?
What do you want to be?
What do you want to be?
Yeh, it’s plain to me
You could be beautiful
And there’s nothing wrong with you
You say, “I’m a freak”
But you’re easy to love for me
And I want you to be free
Yes, I know your mine
I won’t let you slip away
I hate to see you cry
I think it could save your life
(Repeat chor)
What do you want to be?
What do you want to be?
What do you want to be?
What do you want to be?
Don’t give up I plead
Hey, I don’t want you down
I don’t want you down
(repeat chorus )
What do you want to be?
(repeat chorus)
What do you want to be?
What do you want to be?
What do you want to be?
What do you want to be?
What do you want to be?
What do you want to be?
Why is being transgender so complicated?
(Based on Avril Lavigne's "Complicated", here's a link to the original:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5NPBIwQyPWE
Uh huh, life sucks like this
Uh huh, that’s the way it is.
‘Cause life sucks like this
And that’s the way it is.
(Verse 1:)
Sometimes, wonder what I’m striving for
‘cause I’ve always failed before
But if you could look in me, you might see
I’d like to be myself at last
no more controlled by my past
This is the message I send
tired of having to pretend
(Chorus)
I’m somebody else
around everyone else
I’m watching my back
I can’t relax
act like I’m cool
But who do I fool
But me
Tell me
Why is being transgender so complicated?
havin’ to act like I’m somebody else gets me frustrated
But life’s like this
I fall and I crawl and I break and I take what I get and I turn it to
honesty, I say to thee I can no longer fake it
no, no no
(Verse 2)
You came over unannounced
found me dressed like someone else
Who i am, its more that what you know
Don’t laugh, if I strike a pose
wearing my pretty clothes
tired of fooling everyone
havin’ to become
somebody else
around everyone else
I’m watching my back
I can’t relax
act like I’m cool
But who do I fool
But me
Tell me
(Repeat Chorus)
(Repeat Verse 1)
(Repeat Chorus 2 times)
no, no, no.
Will I need stitches?
(with apologies to Shawn Mendes)
I thought it was time you knew the score
Even though I’ve been burned risking before
Your love helps me get through the night
But once you know will you want to fight
Got a feeling we’re getting closer
But will you want to break the ties that bind
You might quit calling me your lover
And move on ...
(Chorus)
Got a secret that I cant keep
Fear has me falling onto my knees
I might end up without your kisses
Or maybe needing stitches
I used to be fighting with myself
Praying begging for God’s help
Tell me will I be without your kisses
Or will I be needing stitches
Last time a man held me to blame
Hit me till I passed out from pain
Being trans was my only crime
They said I reaped what I sowed
The fault all my own
But got a feeling we’re growing closer
But will you want to break the ties that bind
Will you quit calling me your lover
And move on ...
Got a secret that I cant keep
Fear has me falling onto my knees
Will I be without your kisses
Or will I be needing stitches?
Used to be fighting with myself
Praying begging for God’s help
Will I be without your kisses
Or will I be needing stitches
Needle and thread
Applied up to my head
Needle and thread
or maybe wind up dead
Needle and thread
Applied up to my head
Needle and thread
Or maybe wind up dead
Needle and thread
Applied up to my head
Needle and thread
Or maybe wind up dead
Needle and thread
Applied up to my head
Needle and thread
Or maybe wind up dead
Needle and thread
Applied up to my head
Applied up to my head
Got a secret that I cant keep
Fear has me falling onto my knees
I might end up without your kisses
Or will you give me stitches
I was fighting with myself
Praying begging for God’s help
Will I be without your kisses
Or will you give stitches?
Will I be without your kisses
Or will I need stitches?
Will I be without your kisses
Or will I need stitches?
