[Verse 1: Benevolent Sin]

I’m more than that

I know I’m more than what they say I am

Folks from home still calling me a lady’s man

But where I’m from, I’ll probably be the first of mine to make it to the promised land

Gotta make a promise to my momma I’mma take a stand

Naked truths

Lay my body out and aim the cam

I understand now

Love and lust are my puppet masters, it’s who I am

I love this transgender body more than my Uncle Sam

I love all of you

I love everything they detest

I love treating my daily life like burlesque

I know I’m somebody’s fetish

But shit, I love to be an object of sex

Cause every facet of me needs to be best

It’s no rest

Now I need tits on my chest

I need followers, I need them obsessed

I need to stop, take a breath

I need to live like I don’t dream about death

I just need to live and breathe the burlesque

That’s all I need to confess


[Chorus: All]

Body palace

Cautious sips from the chalice

That was someone else

I don’t wanna be someone else

No

Crawling out of your skin

Not a place in the balance

That was someone else

I don’t wanna be someone else

No

[Chorus: All]

Body palace

Cautious sips from the chalice

That was someone else

I don’t wanna be someone else

No

Crawling out of your skin

Not a place in the balance

That was someone else

I don’t wanna be someone else

No


[Post-Chorus: All]

I don’t wanna be someone else

I don’t wanna be someone else

No

I don’t wanna be someone else

I don’t wanna be someone else

No

I don’t wanna be someone else

I don’t wanna be someone else

No

I don’t wanna be someone else

I don’t wanna be someone else

No


[Bridge: Benevolent Sin]

In another life

I’ll meet you on the other side

I wish that I could love my body

I wish that I could give you mine

If I could see me with your eyes

I’d do the same a thousand times


[Verse 4: Benevolent Sin]

In another life

I’ll meet you on the other side

I pray that you can love your body

I pray your people treat you right

Pray you never have to live like I do

Pray you never have to live like we did

Pray someday you kill the fear inside you

Pray someday they let the queer kids be kids

Pray you never have to live like I do

Pray you never have to live like we did

Pray for me but I don’t need your bible

Pray for me but I don’t wanna be someone else
