From the Head Down
May 14, 2021
[Verse]
I~ want to look into
The mirror and see me
I~ am sick of being
Stuck in this decoy
I~ only want to look
At my body again
I~ don’t want to see
Someone who isn’t me
[Chorus]
From the head down~
I’m an abomination
From the head down~
I’m an amalgamation
From the head down~
I’m a disfiguration
From the head down~
I’m someone who isn’t me
[Outro]
All I see is a
Severed head on a stake
Everything below is
Unnatural, inhuman
I can’t withstand what I see
From the head down...

“From The Head Down” follows the protagonist dealing with their gender/body dysphoria and the disconnect that they have with their body. The protagonist’s hair is quite long, and they begin having a conflict with themselves as they feel euphoric about their head & hair and dysphoric about the rest of their body.
