The Other

I'm reaching past the line
It's taken me some time
My hands stretch for the stars
Head's in line with my heart

I'll always be the other
I've never been so sure

Putting on my best dress
I'm boisterous and loose lipped
Corporates aren't ready yet
And I couldn't care less

I'll always be the other
I've never been so sure

Don't try to fit their mould
Don't change what you know
Their pigeonholes are wrong
It's gone on for too long

What do you get?
Bring your whole self
You mean yourself
You mean yourself
I can tell

And now we're face to face
Happens in my workplace
She says bring your whole self
And I'm calling her bullshit

I'll always be the other
I've never been so sure
Each time I am reprimanded
I push back with greater force

Don't try to fit their mould
Don't change what you know
Their pigeonholes are wrong
It's gone on for too long
