Cadence
by Boy Sets Fire· from The Day the Sun Went Out
in this culture I am just the meat for vultures to pick / Until my beauty shows for your glossy covers / And in classy circles smother / Have I nothing more to give / And I would rather starve than lose this body. I would rather starve than lose your acceptance
I need you love, I just need someone's approval . To put me back again / Is this skin all you want, are aesthetics all you need / Is this where I stand / My eyes will always show my empty soul / As you divert your eyes to my body /(It's nothing to you, but it matters to me) / I'm nothing to you but this shell that you see / Rotting flesh for your eyes
Wilting beauty for every goddamned girl to compare to / Dear God why can't I be / Dear God why can't I be more like him, more like her More or less like you
