You Can Make Your Own Definition Lyrics by Alexandra Valentine

THEY/THEM

2017

It’s up for me to decide how I am defined
There’s only one thing I’m defined by and it’s me
So please avert your staring eyes
And your attempts to categorize
The only rules that I am living by are mine
Got no time for all your labels and restraints
Tired of living at a dictated pace
Well are you to deny
What you can see with your own eyes
You say I made it up for me
But you’re just too blind to see
That If it came to be
That I stood in front of you
Yeah in reality
You’re just as real as me
And now it’s up to you
To see how I do too
Now picture this for me
Half a life of misery
Internal struggle and regrets
That were all tied up in my sex
A constant daydream everyday
Will I ever look that way
Age-old restrictions we insistently kept around
Were the only thing that ever held me down
Well are you to deny
You couldn’t see it with your eyes
That if it all happened to you
You would see it like I do
You would say that there’s no sense
No substantial evidence
That you can’t have any say
In how you want to self-portray
If there’s something inside then you can be it
If there’s nothing to find then you can steal it
If there’s too much on your mind one day you’ll see it
You can be what you wanna be if you can feel it
I hope one day that I’ll have nothing left to say
I hope that day’s not far away
