Invincible
E.M.P Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I feel like I'm submerged
Used to struggle with this urge
Could it be a purge?
I'ma get my purse
Match it with a skirt
Got that liner on me first
In the mirror as a lurch
I can embrace myself
Myself is scared of what I is
To make these people happy
Always bothered me to live
Do what's right for me
And for my heart and I persist
I persist, I persist
Sit or stand when I piss? ugh
I don't wanna rock no ships, no
Diamonds on my wrist, yeah
Color on my lips, woo
Also and my figure tips, yeah
My inner child is feminine
I wanna go embrace it
I'm ambivalent to switch
Switch, switch, switch, whoa
Why do I find it hard to be myself
I lived like this
This, this, this, whoa
Fear of the outcome and
The prejudice what people think
They may say I'm grotesque
Suggesting I want mo' sex
The church may think I'm impure and
I might end up with no friends
No friends, no friends, yeah yeah
Lonely as a four leaf clover
On it's own amongst the foliage
The strength it takes to stand up
The fear that I may fall down
I'm always in this showdown
Regardless of my pronouns
Pronouns, pronouns, pronouns yeah yeah
I'm conflicted even though
I know exactly what I want now
My gender so diverse
I feel like I'm submerged
Used to struggle with this urge
Could it be a purge?
I'ma get my purse
Match it with a skirt
Got that liner on me first
In the mirror as a lurch
All these lines are blurred
I can't find the words
My life is on the verge
Are my worlds about to merge?
My gender so diverse
I feel like I'm submerged
Used to struggle with this urge
In the mirror as I woo
Picked on during lunches
They had all these assumptions
And beat me up on weekends
I never threw no punches
All of this dysfunction
I soaked it up like sponges
Shackles in my mind
Locked inside this dungeon
Dungeon, I'm lounging, lounging
Kicking back a prisoner inside
No momentum all my tires punctured
Punctured, punctured
Yeah, Yeah
Yet I still survived
Thriving on my energy that's something
Mama wants makeup on me
I said no and fuck off please
Who you tryna put on show?
As a boy no love for me?
Girlfriends liked me pretty tho
Both of us some pretty hoes
Private with our selfies
I kept all the videos
Trust no one will ever know
They may go hysterical
Keep it on the hush hush
From dinner to through to cereal
Perceptions could be pitiful
Really that's just miniscule
For me to take a risk and be accepted is a miracle
Miracle, miracle, yeah yeah
I had never thought that I could ever be so critical
Critical, critical, yeah yeah
My self talk work against me
And I know that this is typical
My gender so diverse
I feel like I'm submerged
Used to struggle with this urge
Could it be a purge?
I'ma get my purse
Match it with a skirt
Got that liner on me first
In the mirror as a lurch
All these lines are blurred
I can't find the words
My life is on the verge
Are my worlds about to merge?
My gender so diverse
I feel like I'm submerged
Used to struggle with this urge
In the mirror as I woo
