Cisters

At night they form circles I come down to watch them and follow their movements and witness their elegance envy their beauty and wish I was one of them

But I always stutter I can't match their rhythm I'd sully the circle if I were there with them the world has a melody I cannot manage I can't match their harmony don't know their language

I know I'm unwanted there can be no harmony while I am haunted by this incongruity

Which has committed me to hell

Because I am

Nobody's sister

Nobody's daughter

Never a woman

Never a bride

Nobody's sister

Nobody's daughter

No heir of Sapho's

I don't belong here

A covenant

That I'll never share

Incongruence

That I cannot bear

A covenant

That I'll never share

Incongruence

That I cannot bare

I know that it happens I've witnessed the others that join in the circle I've watched them get smothered

They're dead on the news and the covenant smiles I've witnessed the hatred the gawking the bile

Flesh is a prison and sex is a sickness there is no belonging as long as it's in us

I hate this I hate this I don't want to be this

I know I'm unwanted I'm nobody's sister

I see no way out of it I see no future

Nobody's sister

Nobody's daughter

I see no future

I don't belong here

Nobody's sister

Nobody's daughter

I see no future

I don't belong here

Don't want to be an intruder

Don't want to be an imposter

Pinnochiette Pinnochiette

I want to be a real girl

I want to be a real girl

I want to be a real girl

A covenant

That I'll never share

Incongruence

That I cannot bear

A covenant

That I'll never share

Incongruence

That I cannot bear
