A little bit of me is just a fade away
I hear you talk to me today
And I finally hear the truth
I am not man enough
I am only half a man
Because I am a trans man
My head is spinning
My heart is broken in a million pieces
For you said what my family wanted to say to me
But he was just another victim of the night
Fading like whispers in a crowded room
Life echoes softly in the spaces unseen
The night is closing in around him
How can they be so blind
Chasing dreams that slip away like ghosts I’ve seen
A little bit of me
Is all you’re willing to see
I am practically invisible
And
Love lingers in shadows where we’ve never been
And
This has me holding onto life for now
Yet death is around the little corner
A heartbeat lost, hidden just like a foreigner
In this prison of flesh
And the light begins to fade
Caught in the silence where memories cascade
I am alone in this place
A flicker of hope falls from the sky
Brightness fades and the darkness paints
All the years of suffering and pain
Remembering how it used to be
Holding onto dreams like they’re slipping through rain
But my own heart remains an empty space
I have seen the shadows of the past
I have no more tears to cry
I am alone in this dying maze
I intend to embrace this sacred place
The cold of the night takes me away
Ghosts of the past whisper in dismay
My hands are cold my thoughts are weak
Tomorrow will end here today
