Jonathan Lyrics by Mr. Strange

Electric Pornography

2015

Jonathan
Jonathan

[Verse 1]
You knew from the first time
What you were, and what you weren't
To be the bride and not the groom
Make-up hidden in your room

[Verse 2]
Boy, caught wearing a dress
With lipstick smeared across your face
Tears as the shame cuts deep
Damned, damned a disgrace

[Verse 3]
Waking to the same pain
Called the cruelest names
But please, feel no shame
You and me, we are the same

[Verse 4]
The person in the mirror
Is not the one in your heart
Our bodies in error
Tearing our souls apart

[Pre-Chorus]
The years roll on
Self-hating
The tears roll on
It’s suffocating

[Chorus]
You can't lie to yourself
Jonathan
You can't hide from yourself
Jonathan

[Post-Chorus]
You're not who you're meant to be
This dyspohria, tears at your heart
Trapped in the wrong skin
You're not who you're meant to be
There's no end in sight, stuck at the start
Life's wearing thin now

[Verse 5]
Stop
There's a light at the end
(And you're not alone)
Just hang on, my friend
Wait
There's strength in you
(And you're not alone)
You shine with a golden hue

[Bridge]
Jonathan, you are free
Jonathan, you've done your best
You can't lie to yourself, so pick up your head!

[Verse 6]
Jonathan, give them less
Force a smile, and put on your dress
No longer a son, wipe your tears away
The morning star brings a new day

[Verse 7]
Jonathan, you're leaving now
One life dies, a new one begins
Spread your wings and shout out loud
My beautiful fallen angel, sing

[Verse 8]
Jonathan
Jonathan is gone
Amen
We are born again

Jonathan is gone
Jonathan is gone

[Outro]
"In this arid wilderness of steel and stone
I raise up my voice
That you may hear
Open your eyes that you may see
Oh men of mildewed minds
And listen to me
Ye bewildered millions!
For I stand forth to challenge the wisdom of the world
To interrogate the "laws" of man and of "God"!"
