My Journey
I've wished to be like a model since I was 6
Wanting to change the body I was born with
Trying and abiding to perfect myself
God, I wish I was someone else
Lying for acceptance
Denying all indifference
I’m the problem I’m the one to blame
My hands are not yet blood stained
First, look the part
Starving and carving till my bones are showing
It's a face, not a mask, don't let them see where it starts and ends.
Are you happy yet?
Second, wanting the boys to look at you
Play the bluff
Still, not enough
Are you happy yet?
Third, play the part
Don't be yourself, Be someone else
Be this not that, do this not that
Are you happy yet?
Now here I lie, upset the same
But above all, I have only myself to blame
My hands are covered in blood, I did the crime
Am I happy yet?
