i was playing around on YouTube tonight…as i often do…and i discovered this song.
i think every teenager /young adult with a poor body image needs to hear this. this song literally gave me shivers – not so much because of the music, but because of the lyrics. i am sure 99% of the world can relate to this at some point in their lives.
Skin and Bones
I lock the door Turn all the water on And bury that sound So no one hears anything anymore Mirrors lie to me, tell me you can see Maybe you won't be able to recognize me now I know you can feel all the things you steal And you're taking, you're taking it Feeling so easy Make me skin and bones I'm always on my knees for you You break like it's even When you're leaving it Thin, where the hell have you been? Well sometimes it burns Baby I'll wash it out It all looks so big Never mind, I don't feel anything It only hurt a bit I still feel like shit And I think you won't be able to recognize me now It's easier to quit It's harder to admit and You're pushing me, you're fucking pushing me! Feeling so easy Make me skin and bones I'm always on my knees for you You break like it's even When you're leaving it Thin, where have you been? 'cause you always win And you... yeah! Laughin' like it works Bleeding like it don't hurt Knock you off your feet Even if you need me Tear you apart and I hate how I need you Feeling too easy, make me skin and bones I'm always on my knees for you Break like it's even When you're leaving It's too fucking easy, make me skin and bones I'm always on my knees for you Break like it's even When you're leaving it Thin, where have you been? 'cause you always win, and you always win, you always win I will burn all this
