I think my head's exploding, but I've hurt like this since the womb. The oxygen is waning, here in this shrinking room.
Food haunts her like a monster Seeking to devour her fragile facade I don't understand anorexia. Just eat something! Oh my god.
I won't deprive myself of nutrients, but I'll strip my lungs of air. I'm terrified of taking deep breaths. What if she can't share?
She has scars all over her pale wrists But I doubt she's ever felt pain. She doesn't know how blessed she is Or maybe she's just insane.
Her family took me in a year ago But this distance still divides us I want to love her like my sister And just put all of this behind us.
I'll hold my breath till I turn purple If it means she'll be okay I can tell she's dreaming of leaving How do I make her wanna stay?
Do I tell her about her beauty, From the angles she'll never see? Or do I tell her she can't go Because of how bad it would hurt me?
Ah, so perfectly imperfect. The way she paints the blue skies gray I want to help her with these rain clouds But I'm not sure what to say
She has such good intentions, But this world has taken its toll It's not fair for her to feel like this, Bruises veiling her artistic soul
She is such a beautiful creature. But her mind is tainted and battered It's been poisoned with morbid books And her self image has been shattered
I just wanna make her better With the little bit of me that remains Tie her flat-lining heart strings up in bows And pump euphoria thru herΒ hollow veins
If you can't make it on your own Please just let me be your drug I know I won't be able to fix you But my withering body gives good hugs
