I used to be scared of monsters under my bed
Now I'm just scared of the ones in the mirror
Sometimes I wish I could just be dead
Than seeing them come closer and closer
Each and every day, they misled
Made me think I was a horror
Implanting these thoughts in my head
That I needed to be better
That I needed to be taller,
That i should be prettier,
That i needed to be skinnier.
Those monsters in the mirror,
they were actually just myself
Speaking the truth, reading the thread
Of society's standards, inside my head

I used to be scared of monsters under my bed
Now I'm just scared of the ones in the mirror
Sometimes I wish I could just be dead
Than seeing them come closer and closer
Each and every day, they misled
Made me think I was a horror
Implanting these thoughts in my head
That I needed to be better
That I needed to be taller,
That i should be prettier,
That i needed to be skinnier.
Those monsters in the mirror,
they were actually just myself
Speaking the truth, reading the thread
Of society's standards, inside my head
