Mary Lambert |
| [00:13.800] |
I know girls who are trying to fit into the social norm |
| [00:16.740] |
Like squeezing into last year's prom dress |
| [00:20.200] |
I know girls who are low rise, mac eyeshadow, and binge drinking |
| [00:24.390] |
I know girls that wonder if they're disaster and sexy enough to fit in |
| [00:29.560] |
I know girls who are fleeing bombs from the mosques of their skin |
| [00:32.980] |
Playing russian roulette with death |
| [00:35.100] |
It's never easy to accept |
| [00:36.210] |
That our bodies are fallible and flawed |
| [00:38.770] |
But when do we draw the line |
| [00:40.970] |
When the knife hits the skin |
| [00:43.190] |
Isn't it the same thing as purging? |
| [00:45.040] |
Because we're so obsessed with death |
| [00:46.890] |
Some women just have more guts than others |
| [00:50.130] |
The funny thing is women like us don't shoot |
| [00:52.800] |
We swallow pills, still wanting to be beautiful at the morgue |
| [00:57.640] |
Still proceeding to put on make-up |
| [00:59.680] |
Still hoping that the mortician finds us fuckable and attractive |
| [01:03.280] |
We might as well be buried with our shoes |
| [01:05.330] |
And handbags and scarves, girls |
| [01:08.190] |
We flirt with death everytime we etch a new tally mark into our skin |
| [01:12.190] |
I know how to split my wrists to reveal a battlefield too |
| [01:15.030] |
But the time has come for us to reclaim our bodies |
| [01:18.280] |
Our bodies deserve more than to be war-torn and collateral |
| [01:21.800] |
Offering this fuckdom as a pathetic means to say |
| [01:25.240] |
"I only know how to exist when I am wanted" “ |
| [01:30.890] |
Girls like us are hardly ever wanted you know |
| [01:35.240] |
We're used up, and we're sad, and drunk |
| [01:38.800] |
And perpetually waiting by the phone for someone to pick up |
| [01:42.080] |
And tell us that we did good |
| [01:44.040] |
We did good. |
| [01:50.370] |
I know I am because I said I am |
| [01:53.330] |
I know I am because I said I am |
| [01:56.540] |
I know I am because I said I am |
| [02:03.170] |
My body is home |
| [02:06.050] |
My body is home |
| [02:10.270] |
I know I am because I said I am |
| [02:13.700] |
I know I am because I said I am |
| [02:17.240] |
I know I am because I said I am |
