Sensational pictures
of cosmo girls
impossible standards
assaulting her
she looks in the mirror
overcome by shame
and mindlessly tries
to feed the pain
CHORUS
perfection becomes her obsession
and vanity her sin
it's a never ending battle
between the girl and her skin
V2
with beauty and worth
interchangeable
I fear that her goal's
unattainable
but standing in front of
the mirror crying
she vows she'll succeed
or else she'll die trying
CHORUS
BRIDGE
The dark little secret
eats away inside
she's locked in the bathroom
attempting to hide
but the emptiness
she struggled to fill
returns as she bends
to purge her guilt
this deadly cycle
spurned from self hate
will stalk her
all the way to her grave
CHORUS
