lyrics
All my life, I've been cast into certain type, of evil villain
Now I see the villain wasn't always me.
I recall the recipe that changed it all, my specialty;
A ginger snap it wasn't gluten-free.
Then I was cast out to the fringe cuz one young lass who took a bite had celiac, and her death was blamed on me.
Now suddenly, I realize I've become a witch I don't recognize,
From this narrative that was placed on me by an unforgiving society
Now I know It's okay if boys wear dresses & when girls get loud for us to hear their voices, we should listen close instead of silencing.
And if somebody says they don't feemade, your life should not be
hindered, time to free your mind of the cisteria.
I can't describe, the way it felt to lose my light, my soul was broken deep inside, I lost touch with who I was.
Then I began to be the beast they say I am, by terrorizing everything, evil took control of me.
Yes I've done wrong, I'd by lying if I sang this song to paint a picture of someone whose never ate a child.
Now suddenly, I realize we're all trapped inside the same big lie,
And I can't just blame society. It's time for me to just be me.
Now I know It's okay if boys wear dresses & when girls get loud for us to hear their voices, we should listen close instead of silencing.
And if somebody says they don't feel one gender, there is no difference made, your life should not be
hindered, time to free your mind of the cisteria.
Now turn around & see yourself all through the crowd, embrace the ways that we're the same, yet beautifully different
Stop right now and listen to the pa-dam sound our hearts all beating getting loud, we're really not so different. .
We're really not so
Diff'rent
