Skin from number five by Daniela Riddle
"i'm 17, (18 next month), bisexual, and I identify as a gnc female!
I struggle a lot with being insecure about my gender expression and dealing with my sexuality and the confusing messages that the world sends people who don't fall into neat boxes and I'm trying to bring that into my music.
Here is a rough demo I made on my phone of a song that I just finished writing! It's called Skin.
It's about feeling trapped in the body that you're born in and being willing to do almost anything to be someone else, and being insecure that other are better or have less flaws than you. I think a lot of other LGBT+ people can relate. "

Lyrics
i can't believe
i'm trapped against my will
cause i would do almost anything
just to feel my bones
now i need you
to get under my skin
cause you make me
want to like myself again
i know every inch
of the place i live in
hands around my wrists
cause i'm a prison
chorus
i would rather starve
than stay stuck inside of here
i know you only see me from the outside
the hunger never hurts as much
as all the things that i say to myself
i'm the only person i can't hide from
except for you
i can't believe
that you are with me still
i would do almost anything
to get away from me
now i need to
to cut away my skin
until i'm finally
paper thin
and you could break me
with just a number
tell me you never loved her
and i will try
not to feel the weight
cause you can trip me
with just one trigger
and i'll feel
so much bigger
and i will start
to feel the weight
that i can't escape
i can't believe
i'm trapped in my own skin
