Skylar Harris - DEITY Lyrics

All the ways you show that you don't approve
And for your praise you go with "Isn't he handsome?"
I think that you know
Your words, they kill me slowly
I've been guessing
But I've had enough

So, tell me now
What needs to be done
For you to be proud
Of your child, and not your son

I don't know
It's just the way it is, right?
Nothing to be said,
Nothing to be done,
No good news ahead,
Nothing to be won, right?

But we've barely begun
Make sure you've got your shoes tied
Cuz you've become complacent in your comfy chair,
Unaware of the despair that we bear
But we're not scared now to declare

A person's a person and just because they don't conform
To your bigoted views about gender
They haven't transgressed,
Cuz we're not here to impress you and nevertheless,
It's none of your business why people identify the way that you they do
We don't even ask very much
You only have one job: to show some respect

I don't wanna live in camouflage
Hiding myself from the world is sabotage
Wearing this stupid facade is damage on you, and me, and everybody who thinks that they know me
So now the time has come for a debut
Out with the old, and in with the new
I found my pride and my dignity all on my own
I'm like a deity on my throne.

So, tell me now
What needs to be done
For you to be proud
Of your child, not your son
