Because I might die if I stay Another day In this body; where do You think the mirror monsters came from? The voice in my head holds strong; Every time I Look at myself my Eyes are drawn towards every Direction but straight to see Their own reflection. Disgusting. There isn't a single Comfortable Place to rest them on. And so upon Having to go out, I spent an eternity Trying to see If there's any way to make my Waist smaller, Trying to figure out if I'd get by With saying I'm an inch taller Than I actually am. The while More I'll Have promised turns into all Of time, but still I fall Apart every time I see What's supposed to be me. It can't be, really, I know, So I'll close my eyes and pray That this was just a dream all along But I open them to stare At that image, bright as day; Every skin cell, every hair Just seared into my mind Where you won't be Able to find A shred of what they call Positivity.

"Mulan Gonna Start Singing When She See This Rice"
Because I might die if I stay Another day In this body; where do You think the mirror monsters came from? The voice in my head holds strong; Every time I Look at myself my Eyes are drawn towards every Direction but straight to see Their own reflection. Disgusting. There isn't a single Comfortable Place to rest them on. And so upon Having to go out, I spent an eternity Trying to see If there's any way to make my Waist smaller, Trying to figure out if I'd get by With saying I'm an inch taller Than I actually am. The while More I'll Have promised turns into all Of time, but still I fall Apart every time I see What's supposed to be me. It can't be, really, I know, So I'll close my eyes and pray That this was just a dream all along But I open them to stare At that image, bright as day; Every skin cell, every hair Just seared into my mind Where you won't be Able to find A shred of what they call Positivity.
