i watch the rising sun
times, how they change
when we are estranged
look out your window
to the place that you cannot go to... oo...
page number one
i watch the rising sun
left all alone
always by the phone
times, how they change
one month remains

(To be Sung In June)
when i woke up this morning, i didn't really have a plan
'cuz i didn't know what to accomplish, or who i am
i guess sit around and text the girlfriend, 'cuz i love them very so
and maybe ponder my identity, which i don't know (so anyway)
my bedroom kinda looks like a closet. am i stuck?
i haven't made up my mind yet, just my luck
what i know is that i have these lyrics, which i wrote down on a whim
and my mediocre guitar playing skills, while i sing my hymn
yeah i don't know what to properly call this song
and i don't think anybody will sing along
but i know i've been feeling these things ever since i woke
wanting the world to make sense, as a genderqueer slowpoke
yeah, you heard that right, a genderqueer slowpoke
no thoughts and my head is empty, so to speak
and this song isn't really a hymn, my terminology is weak
my effective intake of info is really hard to gauge
and i haven't memorized the lyrics, so let me turn the page
(page flip)
now that i turned the page, i haven't really felt a change
(This speaking lyric is a non-sequiter) okay that was strange
but what i know from introspection, on what gives me joy
he/him pronouns are still my favorite, but don't call me man, just boy
i go back and forth from wanting and not wanting a beard
and i delight in acting just a little bit weird
but weirdness is expensive and college might make me broke
well i guess such is the life of a genderqueer slowpoke
a genderqueer slowpoke
(scat solo)
there are probably others like me who are so unsure
and feel pressured to unveil their true selves whilst insecure
but this is a time for everybody whether out or still inside
so no pressure, just sit back, and relax, and happy pride!
a silly song was my original intention, you know, just a fad
but it turned out wholesome and feelgood, hey, that's not bad
now that the song is almost over, i have to face reality
'cuz now that i've dealt with my gender, what about my sexuality?
there's nothing wrong with being a little slow
but i can't wait to go fishing and become a bro
and i know that some of you might not get that pokemon joke
but you got to see what it's like to be a genderqueer slowpoke
a genderqueer slowpoke
and that's all he wrote
