"999, what's your emergency?"
I'd like to report a crime: grand theft autonomy
I spent years digging deep into history
Why the fuck was my autonomy taken away from me when I was a kid? What the fuck's wrong with saying no?
It felt like my soul had nowhere to go
All these wasted years cost my sanity
As people find my discomfort entertaining
Testing my boundaries, that's so violating
This is grand theft autonomy
People pleasing feels like involuntary lobotomy
Such a bad idea, starting psychotherapy
Why does my pain bring people joy
They wouldn't dismiss my autism if I were born a boy
I survived life by masking
"How are you?" Why even bother asking?
When I speak but no one listens, it feels like I'm speaking to a brick wall
Oh, I see how it is, you find it funny when I fall
Years later, who the fuck's at my door?
The mask that I was forced to wear that was left on the floor
Fuck that, I won't be the bigger person
People don't wanna admit that they're the problem; they'll never learn
You don't get to choose on how I feel about what's bothering me
Your issues with who I am ain't my responsibility
I've never considered you family
I don't wanna know about your culture
Whilst watching me live my truth like a vulture
