Healing Town lyrics
by Iris Bilinsky
[Verse 1]
I can't stand it
The air is so dry
I feel electric
I am pacing
I did not realize that I was
But you call me
And you grab me in my seat
And you sit down next to me
And you hold me 'til I sleep
The teacher said, "Apply yourselves"
And I said, "But nothing helps"
They didn't listen
No, they didn't listen
So I kept it to myself
And my parents
Never believed me
They still call it ADD
My symptoms are all they see
They don't come around
This part of town
They look down on my friends
I hang around
So scared he would lose his son
That my father invoked his gun
[Chorus]
I'm not a man
I'm not a man
I am not a man
I'm not a man
[Verse 2]
Erin madе them mad
They thought they causеd my depression
I think it was a combination
Of alienation and untreated ADHD
And they would not gender them properly
And then they kicked me out
Before I could tell them
Not that I would have
My dad would get scary
And my mom's day-blue eyes
Would fill the room with harsh light
And remind me, oh god
That part of me burnt alive
[Chorus]
Oh
Don't stand under trees in a storm
Or you'll catch fire
Don't stand under trees in a storm
Or you'll catch fire
Don't stand under trees in a storm
Or you'll catch fire
Don't stand under trees in a storm
Or you'll catch fire
