Laying up late, flipping through magazines, Look at these beautiful people, The bodies of angels who deserve to be seen, Reading articles, thinking one day, That could be me. I just need to lose this waste of flesh, of fat, Looking into a mirror of everything I hate. Models can do it, they aren't just built like that. Thinking one day, that could be me. I'll skip lunch for a week, just speak As if I'd eaten a lot before No one will question me, I'm sure. I'm quiet regardless, I started cutting down On the other meals as they come around. I've been a little dizzy and lightheaded But I already lost 20 pounds, One day I'll be beautiful, Standing over a speechless crowd. People are starting to take notice, I'm nervous, making excuses. I eat here and there so they know I've had enough Then slip off to get it back up. My chest hurts a little but I can reach my goal, To be like the beautiful people, I would sell my soul Even if I had to starve myself whole.

Beautiful People
Laying up late, flipping through magazines, Look at these beautiful people, The bodies of angels who deserve to be seen, Reading articles, thinking one day, That could be me. I just need to lose this waste of flesh, of fat, Looking into a mirror of everything I hate. Models can do it, they aren't just built like that. Thinking one day, that could be me. I'll skip lunch for a week, just speak As if I'd eaten a lot before No one will question me, I'm sure. I'm quiet regardless, I started cutting down On the other meals as they come around. I've been a little dizzy and lightheaded But I already lost 20 pounds, One day I'll be beautiful, Standing over a speechless crowd. People are starting to take notice, I'm nervous, making excuses. I eat here and there so they know I've had enough Then slip off to get it back up. My chest hurts a little but I can reach my goal, To be like the beautiful people, I would sell my soul Even if I had to starve myself whole.
