Watch your sugar Or so I've been told They act like it Can turn to salt Salt… That’s funny Because your sugar Tastes of salt to me I taste it in every mirror Every contour of my body Everytime i watch my stomach jiggle Everytime I wish my fat were my tears So easy to lose yourself In that shaker I taste it in every movement When I look down and my stomach Blocks my feet And my thighs rub Salt makes starving Quite attractive To bad I can’t Because they’re watching too closely Salt makes me want water My tears must count I’ll drink my food And cry out my fat And maybe it’ll Finally taste of sugar

Sugar Shakers and Fatty Tears
Watch your sugar Or so I've been told They act like it Can turn to salt Salt… That’s funny Because your sugar Tastes of salt to me I taste it in every mirror Every contour of my body Everytime i watch my stomach jiggle Everytime I wish my fat were my tears So easy to lose yourself In that shaker I taste it in every movement When I look down and my stomach Blocks my feet And my thighs rub Salt makes starving Quite attractive To bad I can’t Because they’re watching too closely Salt makes me want water My tears must count I’ll drink my food And cry out my fat And maybe it’ll Finally taste of sugar
