lyrics

In sincerity, eat away at me
Insincerity, eat away at me

Punish me
Rip me apart
Tear me down, make me into art
Sculpt me into a perfect model
Diamond figurine
It’s not up to me
It only goes off of what she’s said
Persephone
Grow your toxic garden in my head

And when you notice you can
Cut through me like wax,
And I will melt away under your grasp
You’ll get better at controlling me
And I will get better at conforming
And when you tower over me
In all your glory
I will crumble, I will give you
All the power over me
And sometimes I’ll like it
I won’t lie, I’d be lost without it

It’s not pretty
It’s not pretty

Tell me different, tell me different
Tell me different, tell me
Someone told me
That I would be better off dead
So tell me different, tell me different
Tell me different, tell me
Someone told me
That I would be better off
it’s not pretty, it’s not pretty
it’s not pretty, it’s not pretty
it’s really not that bad
It’s really not an illness
it’s not pretty, it’s not pretty
it’s not pretty, it’s not pretty
And how materialistic is beauty?

And sometimes I have trouble
Finding words
To describe the things that I have heard
Over time, voices telling me
Give up your nourishment
Or, give up your nurture
This altered mind
Living inside my head
She won’t halt the harm
Until I’m gone
And sometimes I like it
I won’t lie
I’d be lost without it

Lost without it
Lost without it
