Gift Wrap

I found a mother at the bar downtown
She taught me to walk in heels
And wear makeup
Live my truth, and not to give a fuck
I found a brother the day that I walked out
He gave me a bed and a roof
And inarguable proof
That it ain't blood that matters
Pretenses shatter

Oh, I never felt this love
In the fucked up place that I grew up
And as another year grows cold
I'll spend this morning sitting
On the floor of my new home
With the family I chose
Making gift wrap into balls
And throwin' 'em at the walls
All my boyfriends wear no clothes
And no one cares at all
Eating beef lo mein from coffee mugs

I found a father on the grid of my phone
He told me about Reagan and Renslow
The hot pink stripe flying over the Castro
And the wars we continue to fight
I found a cousin under the cabaret lights
We gave each other confidence to be a mess
And to say we won when we made it to second best

I never felt this love
In the fucked up place that I grew up
And as another year grows cold
I'll spend this morning sitting
On the floor of my new home
With the family I chose
Making gift wrap into balls
And throwin' 'em at the walls
All my boyfriends wear no clothes
And no one cares at all
Eating beef lo mein from coffee mugs

Let's blow up an air mattress in the living room
Pile seven, eight they/thems yay high, everybody spoons
Projecting a cyberpunk car crash on the wall
And the house is a card crash, covered in gift wrap
We'll pick this shit up in February

On the floor of my new home
With the family I chose
Making gift wrap into balls
And throwin' 'em at the walls
All my boyfriends wear no clothes
And no one cares at all
Eating beef lo mein from coffee mugs

On the floor of my new home
With the family I chose
Making gift wrap into balls
And throwin' 'em at the walls
All my boyfriends wear no clothes
And no one cares at all
Eating beef lo mein from coffee mugs

Happy fuckin' whatever
Winter
