lyrics

Taking stock of all the marks
Whether pock or simple stretch
This is where the spiral starts
When I compare myself to standards set
Will I ever find love without lush keratin fibers or slender middle curves
I'm embarrassed and obsessed with visible traces of life lived and it's only getting worse

I can't see myself through their eyes
And mine lock onto flaws in any light
You know, you know, you know what that implies
You know it's not right

In a passing glance, I see my shape
It's just another chance to judge, to criticize
Under chin or maybe some different trait
And even if you had perfect skin well you'd still find one you don't like
Hurry hurry, the wheel keeps turning, turning the same direction no matter how hard you fight
Worry worry you're always losing losing all your value in the passing of time

Where are your pores
Airbrush the lines
Where are your pores
Post your lies

Who am I and who do I want to be
It's coming from the inside out
Everybody's eyes look good in the sun
It's coming from the inside out
And it shines just for the one
