Berklee Spring ‘21 Songs for Social Change (S4SC) 
S4SC-21 Invited Showcase Performer

I wrote this song about my own personal relationship with my gender, sexuality, and identity in general. This song also speaks about my own discomfort around talking about it, either because of my own confusion or my fear of judgement. We are expected to put our own experiences in a box, when in reality, life is grey. I hope that whether you struggle with your identity in particular, or you just simply don't like how you're perceived at times, you find comfort in this song.

lyrics:

Learning manifestation
Hoping I could change my hue
Since elementary graduation
I was sick of pinks and blues

Another self-investigation
No result is guaranteed
They don’t get the hesitation
When they ask who I wanna be

It’s grey

Feeling somewhere in the middle
Wishing for a different face
When the world makes me feel little
But somehow still take too much space

I try new clothes, I try new names
Still there’s so much left undiscovered
Never thought a part of me’d be pink
Until I kissed someone rose-colored

But still, it’s grey

And I don’t understand the boxes
Or the bubbles or the lines
And I don’t wanna talk about it
When the feeling’s only mine
Sitting somewhere in the center
Or on a whole other scale

So I’ll be grey

grey

lyrics:
I was never scared of loud red lights
Until your twisted your ankle on our way to breakfast after our first night
Sat next to the stretcher on the ambulance ride
My face gave it away, so you held my hand and told me you’d be alright

I was never one for sharing beds
Til I woke to your face on Montgomery place and quiet “good mornings” you’ve said
March 15, taking that picture by the doorway
Never knew that smile would be the last for a while, now we’ve gotta look ahead
To

When I move back home
Will you take me as more than a guest?
When you move back home
We’ll pick up right where we left
           
If I ever see you again will it feel just like the first time
Or like I never left at all, like we’re in it for the long haul
If I ever see you again do you swear you’ll keep your promise?
That we’ll never feel the fall, but until then
We’ll make this distance feel small

I was always used to Sao Paulo’s skies
But since our day trips to New York, this city feels too dark, no matter how bright it shines
I never knew better than family’s judging eyes
But now my mom asks about you, expecting you come soon, try Brazil for size

I used to find my way through Boston streets
But now that you’re not here, the charm’s disappeared, and Westland’s lost its peace
I used to never mind a year long lease
But with every rent payment, my place feels more vacant as the hours turn to weeks
Until

When I move back home
Is there a chance you’d second guess?
When you move back home
We’ll pick up right where we left

If I ever see you again will it feel just like the first time
Or like I never left at all, like we’re in it for the long haul
If I ever see you again do you swear you’ll keep your promise?
That we’ll never feel the fall, but until then
We’ll make this distance feel small


If I ever see you again will it feel just like the first time
Or like I never left at all, like we’re in it for the long haul
If I ever see you again do you swear you’ll keep your promise?
That we’ll never feel the fall, but until then
We’ll make this distance feel small
