i am of the divine (ft. Chloe Hotline)

about

The album starts us off in this place of irritation. As small as a trans girl tries to make herself in a cis world, in many cases she can never be invisible while trying to mind her business and navigate her life. There's always a fear someone will be set off. This song is about what we would say to those cis someones whose unfounded fear of us they make our problem.

lyrics

[Verse 1: Wren Dove Lark]

Well you're acting like your world is shattered
I'm just standing here wondering what is the matter with you
All I'm doing is wearing a dress that I bought for three dollars from Goodwill
Honey, can you take a chill pill?
Acting like you're 'bout to get killed.
Yeah it's crazy the way you imagine catastrophe

But what can I say?
I guess I forgot to shave
I didn't think to do it today
I just went on my way hoping to just rejoice in this day which the Lord hath made

But then I ended up here
With you and this stick up your rear
Expecting me to manage your fear

When I only wish to go away
But I never will ever escape
This constant bombardment
Of cisgender halfwits that can't ever ask themselves

[Prechorus: Wren Dove Lark]

Did it cross your mind?
The entropy you tried to confine
When you drew me inside of a perfect circle
And then bolded the lines

[Chorus: Wren Dove Lark]

Well stop boxing me in
'Cause I'll never consent
And if you'd open your eyes
Then maybe you'd realize
That I am of the divine
I'm unfairly maligned
I'm unfiltered and unrefined
I shouldn't have to remind you
That I am wonderfully made
And I can shine in the shade
I'm no longer afraid

So you can get on my good side
Or you can get out my way
You can get out my way

[Verse 2: Chloe Hotline]

They break you down before they box you in
Embarrass you and try to tell your friends
But never forget where it all began
I had to deal with some shit and it was all within

And who are you to tell me I'm wrong?
When I never put lies in none of them songs
Apology, I know that you won't
But I don't give a fuck I'm done staring at phones

Should I leave it alone?
Should I leave it alone?
Or face it head on?
If I did not I would probably be dead wrong
This circle inside and bolding the lines
So really just get the fuck on

I'm sorry
I don't know why I feel like this
I don't know if it all makes sense
Girl of the year
Facing her fear
I knew that they were here
It all came clear

It's a way to walk your line
It's a way to grow all the time
And you still respect your mind
Don't forget who you were inside

What more could it be?
What more could they need?
I'm divine and I'll see
If this feeling I keep
Is this feeling I keep

[Prechorus: Wren Dove Lark]

Did it cross your mind?
The entropy you tried to confine
When you drew me inside of a perfect circle
And then bolded the lines

[Chorus: Wren Dove Lark]

Well stop boxing me in
'Cause I'll never consent
And if you'd open your eyes
Then maybe you'd realize
That I am of the divine
I'm unfairly maligned
I'm unfiltered and unrefined
I shouldn't have to remind you
That I am wonderfully made
And I can shine in the shade
I'm no longer afraid

So you can get on my good side
Or you can get out my way
You can get out my way
You can get out my way
Oh
You can get out my way

I'm Wren (she/her). I write weird pop music for trans girls to cathartically cry to. If others get something from my music, that's awesome too. :)
