You want to stitch a button to my lips
To go along with my button nose
To keep my mouth closed
I couldn't say but I swear it was me
You say let the truth set you free
Can't you see? This effigy
Is only incarcerating me?
But I'll wear your disguise
And I'll die in drag
A most resplendent display
My body is not my own
My body is not my home
It's all passive and remiss
The way that I try to dismiss
The handcuff bracelets on my wrists
Will make a pretty carcass
All made up and garnished
Better tomb than tarnished
