Lyrics for Body Dysmorphia.

I let my fingers pinch my skin I'm so hungry, I can't sleep But I know if I eat Then I'll be in the bathroom on my knees I hate the way my face is square I hate my arms inside these sleeves For this hourglass we all desire I wear three corsets underneath XL T-shirts, baggy jeans So I don't have to stress about it Marijuana every day, so I cannot obsess about it How can I expect you to romance me Touch my body, baby? I don't even want to take it off for you So turn the lights off And I don't really like my body But knowing it's my only body I should pro'ly call somebody I should really show you how I'm feeling inside Matter fact, I'm glad you called me I've been hiding, I been high And I've been sleeping hungry I hug my knees, I squeeze my waist There's so much that I want to change Yes, lately I've been thinking 'bout the ways to rearrange my face I wanna cut pieces off Looking in the mirror Want to take a pair of scissors Sadly, dear, I wanna cut pieces off Lately, I've been so depressed about it No one sees what I can see and I'm so fuckin' scared about it How can I expect you to romance me Touch my body, baby? I don't want to take it off for you Until you turn the lights off And I don't really like my body But knowing it's my only body I should pro'ly call somebody I should really show you how I'm feeling inside Matter fact, I'm glad you called me I've been hiding, I been high And I've been sleeping hungry I think when I grow older I'm going to get a nose job I have a bump in my nose and it's ugly When I grow up I want to be skinny but with an hourglass figure I hope I'll be pretty when I grow up or I think I'll be sad
