Maryanna

I want to be a boy and I wanna hit on girls
The sun sets down in Olsztyn Town in 1984
High school walls and high school walls
All about to dissolve

She pulls a flower from her mouth
A string of pearls from her eyes
Chromosomes and martyrdom
Dressed in suit and tie
How I wished to understand
But I couldn't even try

Maryanna don't be afraid of me
From far away I look ok
But close up you can see

Maryanna, on somedays you might say
No black, no white, a sea of grey
I am you and you are me

Only wearing black, in this body I am bound
Three rounds of bandage round my chest
I get around in Olsztyn Town
Closed up, with the curtains drawn
So scared of what might hurt
