The Ribbon that Tightens

A lyric about a transsexual's struggles.

My chest is bound

My ribs are bruised

I'm beating myself another round

Wants to stop being confused

My body and mind are divorced

The bridge between is broken

But a trust cannot be forced

And as words remain unspoken

Help is beyond my reach

The ribbon seems to get tighter

Pressing me down, flattens my breast

I will not give in, I'm a fighter

I will win life's test

Splinters seem to shatter

Stains of red mix with glass

Bloody fists and mad laughter

But finally I know I'll pass

The ribbon seems to get tighter

Pressing me down, flattens my breast

I will not give in, I'm a fighter

I will win life's test
