Thin Lines
Social society deems me imperfect – just another product went defective
I try to ignore the pressure but the cover of the magazine holds me captive
Yet here we are in our Photoshop world with our newly made disguise
Dealing with a world that tells us to mutilate the body we’ve learned to despise
Success is counted by the calorie intake of the day
Still feel like a failure no matter how much you weigh
Carve it, chip it, we become a perfect example of a silicon fusion
Every day we become more plastic and less of a human
We won’t be satisfied until we’re left in a pile of wasted flesh
And so we play a dangerous game with the man known as Death
