Then grief, a move, a new country, new school, And strangers pointing out what wasn't there. I buried myself in books — safer that way, At least my brain was something I could score. But a neurosis doesn't ask you which one to take — It kicks in both doors. [Chorus] Twenty years stuck in a false divide, Two sharp ends and I held them both. I labeled myself from the inside, Then kept the label, forgot the growth. Five years ago I closed the first door. After the birth the second one shut. Still: bite correction. Skin. A few more. Just a list now — not a gut. [Verse 2] Second dichotomy, quieter, meaner: Emancipation versus let me be held. I've been steering since thirteen — Usually better than anyone who'd try to help. Direct manner, no mystery, no games — I come out as a partner, not someone to keep. But a partner sometimes wants, without shame, To just lie down while someone else holds the wheel. [Chorus] Twenty years stuck in a false divide, Two sharp ends and I held them both. I labeled myself from the inside, Then kept the label, forgot the growth. Five years ago I closed the first door. After the birth the second one shut. Still: bite correction. Skin. A few more. Just a list now — not a gut. [Outro] Not a pit. Just a list. Not a war. Just a list.
