Lyrics:

The shot didn’t hurt when you gave it to me 
The hand it was holding when it went into my knee 
I let out a sigh like I’m blowing off steam 
I’m a lady

And twice a month or every day it grew like a weed 
It was poison it was beautiful but it was vanity 
At the show you didn’t know I was blooming 
Like a flower

Time goes on and all these voices 
A machine with no moving parts is broken 
Every particle of dust an explosion 
While the Earth is revolving

Estrogen and terrifying visions on a cloud 
Magic hanging smoke calls and tells me I’m getting old 
In the night as the dark creeps in the voices are so loud 
Estrogen like smoke hanging over the ground

Trimmed my nails and shaved my legs I guess I’m dreaming 
With the rain falling treading water seeps but runs free 
In a movie theater bodies sink into the seats 
Tireless nights like a sequence

And twice a month or every day it grew like a weed 
It was poison just the thought “am I passing?” 
In the snow you didn’t know I was withering 
Like a flower

Moving faster now it’s a rollercoaster ride 
As my cells grow apart and the tides divide 
At times I was so scared but the heart 
Overpowers it’s exhilarating

Estrogen on the roof looking over the city 
Thoughts of future love and suddenly I’m empty 
In the night I walk past closed storefronts with silent worry 
Option 1 do it for a while 
Let it all consume me with a smile and then feel free 
Option 2 remain gender useless 
Draw a figure forget which line was drawn 
Sing along

Estrogen and terrifying visions on a cloud
Magic hanging smoke calls and tells me I’m getting old 
In the night as the dark creeps in the voices are so loud 
Estrogen like smoke hanging over the ground
