Manipulative Mirrors

 I've never felt so out of place
I feel sick from waking up with an unknown face
I'd rather be alone, listening to Three Days Grace
Leave me alone, haven't you heard of personal space?

All these manipulative mirrors have been telling me that I'm not good enough
The love I received was way too tough
Pushing and pulling every facial feature
Trying to convince me that I'm an ugly creature
Telling lies like a religious preacher
You sound like my ex
Go and clear that bullshit with Carex

I'm sick of feeling the weight on my body
The lies I hear, make me feel that I'm not worthy
I can feel the anchor dragging down my heart
Inaccurate images of me tear my life apart

I've never felt so out of place
I feel that I'm far from home
The pressure I get about the size of my waist
Leave me alone
Don't you have anything better to do than compare me to a random girl's skin tone?

I'm sick of these manipulative mirrors telling me that I'm not good enough
Then beg me for forgiveness for making me feel rough
Stop messing with my life like a play dough
It's killing my heart, it's killing my soul
I don't need anyone to make me feel low

I hate it when some of my selfies, make me look so deformed
My body involuntarily transformed
It pains me to feel dead inside
It pains me to feel like I'm choking on my pride
I wasn’t made to be destroyed
I wasn’t made to feel like an android

All these manipulative mirrors make me toss & turn
I feel that I was born in the wrong body, my stomach is about to churn
Making me sick, this fucking body dysmorphia
I see the crack on my fingers, thanks a lot bulimia

This reflection makes me feel like I'm drowning
This reflection, be clowning
I do not own this face
These manipulative mirrors are the master of deface
Who the fuck are you trying to manipulate?
Bail me out of his self-hate!
