about

“Title track, ‘Babyface’, is a love letter to trans masc./ female to male trans people who are sick of people not recognizing who they are now. It’s a brutal self-reflective announcement that the girl you knew, loved, raised etc. is gone and you have stop expecting her to come back. It’s a comment on how girls are raised in society and the strange detachment you feel to the idea of being a ‘girl’ growing up, then the euphoria of discovering the language to understand who you are, only to have the people you love the most deny that that girl isn’t you anymore. If it’s the last thing I’ll ever do, you will see me for who I am.”

lyrics

You think you know who I am because you’ve seen my face. You think you know what I've done and who I've done it with. You think you own a piece of me because you knew my name. If it's the last thing I do, you’ll bow to babyface.

Why’d you gotta make it all about my body? I played the part you said to be, you still forgot me. Do you wanna cut me up? And dissect me? Split me at my seams to try to understand me.

Do I fascinate you? So calm yet so disruptive. I intimidate you? Jealousies so unattractive.

Sorry, i will not remain, trapped inside your little cage, running on a wheel until you kill me when your feelings changed.

I will never heal from all the shit you left, I watched someone I love turn into someone else. I will never heal from all the shit you left, but at least I hate you more now than I hate myself.

You think you know who I am because you’ve seen my face. You think you know what I've done and who I've done it with.You think you own a piece of me because you knew my name. If it's the last thing I do, you’ll bow to babyface.

And if you think she’s still alive, that girl is dead to me, do I gotta be in the ground before you let me be? I know we share the same blood but go by different names, if it’s the last thing I do, you’ll bow to babyface.

If it’s the last thing I do, you’ll bow to babyface.

If it’s the last thing I do, you’ll bow to babyface.

I will never heal from all the shit you left (If it’s the last thing I do, you’ll bow to babyface)

but at least I hate you more now than I hate myself (if it’s the last thing I do)


You think you know who I am because you’ve seen my face. You think you know what I've done and who I've done it with.You think you own a piece of me because you knew my name. If it's the last thing I do, you’ll bow to babyface.

And if you think she’s still alive, that girl is dead to me, do I gotta be in the ground before you let me be? I know we share the same blood but go by different names, if it’s the last thing I do, you’ll bow to babyface.
