Empty bags and candy wrappers Left strewn about From my last attempt To fill this feeling To suppress this anxiety Only for it to fail And give birth to a different sickness
The rage I feel when I look in the mirror The body I was given And all that I have done to it I want it to be beautiful But just can’t keep up with the work So the burning grows inside I’ve gotta let it out And I want it to hurt
There’s no one else to blame No other half I’ve just one brain There is no wicked tempter Only chemically driven impulse I only lose my temper on myself I want to squeeze til there’s no pulse I want to shatter my mirror And use the broken pieces To carve the body I wished to see When the mirror was whole
