about

A 7ft bipedal frog gets outed to her human girlfriend.

lyrics

Princess and the Frog

I don’t hate myself, hate is a very strong word
But I can take hate in moderation, as I loom
Over my own shoulders
I feel just how tight they are.
As the skin brakes under the pressure of muscle and bone
The framework shatters, I see me, can anyone else see me?
And for what it’s worth this is as close to feeling real as i'm ever gonna feel
In your arms, I shrink. I think I'm human.

Do you think that I belong here?
I was thinking about it earlier,
And then i realised how stupid the qusetion was
Because, I don’t think I belong to anywhere.

Leave me alone
I feel like clawing myself apart so that piece by piece im me
i'm a teenage girl not a hulking monster
I know i don't deserve to love her
I'm a teenage, stupid, insecure, disgusting, self destrcutive, alien
For your own sake leave me alone

Do you think that ghosts are happy,
For the most part contempt with the life they left behind
It feels like I should be absent
Float downstream and watch you smile from the outside
And i know deep down im loveable
But it's hard to know when you don't own your own reflection
Did you know it tried to pull me in, strip me down and make me stare at how i see me
I wish i couldn't see me

Please don't leave me alone
I know I'm a burden but please i'm not strong enough to face me
i'm a teenage girl not a hulking monster
I know i don't deserve to love her
I'm a teenage, stupid, insecure, disgusting, self destrcutive, alien
But please don’t leave me alone

And from my chest i can feel a knot tying me down, beating me senseless
All i've ever been all i am is yours your pride and joy you kiss me
As the floor beneath my feet swallows me whole drowning in compliments
The concrete fills my lungs, set in stone a statuette
Of a skin thin
Dis guise, a tale of baggy eyes and brittle bones and sunken cheeks and it's all yours for the lowlow price of dignity and happiness and joy and smiles and innocence
What i'd give to be naive for only a day
I don't think that i can stand me anymore
