about
disclaimer: i wrote this song early in my transition and my singing voice has since changed. it's changing still.
lyrics
if i take the pill will you lift my cup
if i swallow it down will you hold me
till the morning time to say the things
like i am not the one who's ill
except that i am running through a field as it runs through me and my whole life
watch it go by
in time
playing with the dogs
when I realize
the body which you deny is my way inside this feeling i cannot describe
except to say
it's the patter of a winged bird
an ancient word on the lips of what i cannot pronounce or name
except to call it magic
but that's only the surface of a word what i feel goes beyond what i could ever say
in time
playing with the dogs
i will realize
for the life i want to live i am going to change
i will change my ways
i am a bitter dog
i am dead
for the life I have to live I have got to change
i have changed my ways
i am a better dog
i know my name
i come when i'm called
running through a field
singing out to the gods
i know myself
i am a better dog
i am dead
