lyrics

grandma was a teacher
that could whistle like a bird
worry lines in both her palms
and washed her hands on every hour
my hands are soiled, she’d scold me
i don't whistle like a bird
stick them deep into the soap
i lick them clean, they still taste sour

fathers mother smoked a pack
and sang old bats at morning
her ballet shoes were well worn out
hung on the wall adorning
i don't know how to dance
but watched and learned how to fit in
a golden smile, a witty line
will blur the sight of ruin

chapter one
is on
how to be a girl

mother had her first binge with a bottle of black liqueur
some truckers held her hair while she got sick right by the river
my hair is thin, she’d scold the second servings that i ate
in the evenings we would watch tv and neatly note our weight

dad loved a girl from britain , she ran away from home
she lived with us when she was only twenty four, she put my hands to play
she’d eat raw meat and drew at midnight, little did i know
her hands were stained with purple juice the day that she went away

a friend of mine had hazel hair and spooky blue doe eyes
the daughter of a pilot, torn up shirts three times her size
when she sat on my lap and i smelled soap, cinnamon, fire
i shamed myself for breathing in and all my weird desires

chapter one
is on
how to be a girl

how to be a
how to be a
how to be a girl
how to be a girl


how to shed
a skin
you've learned
by heart

you cut
the
binary
up

on most days i am not a girl
and i don’t know how to be
but neither did the women
i looked up to as a teen
or maybe they knew best
it all boils down to the same thing
the world reads us a certain way
and it binds us all in healing

chapter two
is on
how to be you
