    This is the song that introduced me to WATU. I haven't watched the music video in a while, so now after a year, I actually recognize Jer instead of not knowing who anybody was, so seeing them as a zombie makes the video that much cooler (I did understand the metaphor originally with who I now know is Reade, but now I just have even more context lol)

    [Chorus]
    Let go these morbid obsessions
    Every thought feels like a confession
    She said, she said, she said
    If I get one life, I'm gonna do what I want
    If I get one life, I'm gonna do what I want
    SHE WAS A MESS
    She was a mess at 17
    Running down a dream
    Stuck in this endless empty feeling
    GIVE IT A REST
    Give it a rest, chastened the girls around
    Her lonely heart was a ghost town
    They said "Son, you better settle down"
    And
    [Chorus]
    NOW HERE COME THE DRUGS
    Here come the drugs and the booze
    Razors, wrists, and self-abuse
    Trapped like a rat, got nothing left to lose
    SHE WANTED TO DRESS
    Like all the other girls
    Head full of curls
    They said, "Son, you can't always get
    what you want in this world"
    [Chorus]
    [Instrumental bridge]
    [Outro + Chorus - not sure about these]
    (Whoa! My heart, a blessed and heavy stone)
    (Whoa! A heavy stone)

    I may be gender apathetic, but FUCK this song resonates with me. Which is why its so great, any person who is part of the trans (and for some, even just homosexual!) community can relate to it. Hell, if it sings to you about other topics relating to identity, you still can! Love this song and I don't know where it's been all my life, definitely making sure to follow 'We Are The Union' now!!
