[00:03.000] Body Love
[00:07.400] Mary Lambert
[00:13.800] I know girls who are trying to fit into the social norm
[00:16.740] Like squeezing into last year's prom dress
[00:20.200] I know girls who are low rise, mac eyeshadow, and binge drinking
[00:24.390] I know girls that wonder if they're disaster and ***y enough to fit in
[00:29.560] I know girls who are fleeing bombs from the mosques of their skin
[00:32.980] Playing russian roulette with death
[00:35.100] It's never easy to accept
[00:36.210] That our bodies are fallible and flawed
[00:38.770] But when do we draw the line
[00:40.970] When the knife hits the skin
[00:43.190] Isn't it the same thing as purging?
[00:45.040] Because we're so obsessed with death
[00:46.890] Some women just have more guts than others
[00:50.130] The funny thing is women like us don't shoot
[00:52.800] We swallow pills, still wanting to be beautiful at the morgue
[00:57.640] Still proceeding to put on make-up
[00:59.680] Still hoping that the mortician finds us ******** and attractive
[01:03.280] We might as well be buried with our shoes
[01:05.330] And handbags and scarves, girls
[01:08.190] We flirt with death everytime we etch a new tally mark into our skin
[01:12.190] I know how to split my wrists to reveal a battlefield too
[01:15.030] But the time has come for us to reclaim our bodies
[01:18.280] Our bodies deserve more than to be war-torn and collateral
[01:21.800] Offering this ******* as a pathetic means to say
[01:25.240] "I only know how to exist when I am wanted" “
[01:30.890] Girls like us are hardly ever wanted you know
[01:35.240] We're used up, and we're sad, and drunk
[01:38.800] And perpetually waiting by the phone for someone to pick up
[01:42.080] And tell us that we did good
[01:44.040] We did good.
[01:50.370] I know I am because I said I am
[01:53.330] I know I am because I said I am
[01:56.540] I know I am because I said I am
[02:03.170] My body is home
[02:06.050] My body is home
[02:10.270] I know I am because I said I am
[02:13.700] I know I am because I said I am
[02:17.240] I know I am because I said I am
