On one side: hunger, thirst, and the weight of shame
On the other: my faith, my love, and my own name

Verse 1
On one side: my heart's innocent, foolish desires
On the other: a world that finds faults like fire
On one side: inside me, the search for a human soul
On the other: this body's needs that take their toll
Chorus Repeats

Verse 2
On one side: a force of my own will has awoken
On the other: I find my heart is soft and broken
On one side: if I change, everyone will smile at last
On the other: in that form, self-hatred holds me fast
Chorus Repeats

Bridge
Every step I take, life puts a fork in my way
I've only ever wanted one thing, come what may:
Say what I think, do what I say, be fully me
How long should I fear time's threats repeatedly?
---
Final Chorus
On one side: hunger, thirst, and the weight of shame
On the other: my faith, my love — they stay the same.
