Heads up, shoulders back.
The confidence that we all lack
Is trapped inside the mirror.
Ballerina, twirl en Pointe,
The clapping sound grows nearer.
Insecurity sets in,
Self-assurance is a sin
According to society.
No matter what I say or do
The pressure gets the best of me.
screw them all.
screw her
for telling me I don't do enough
for acting like I'm a terrible student
screw her
screw them
for acting like my body is theirs
they think I deserve their words

screw her
for dragging me along
for making me feel guilty
screw her
screw them
for making my life worse
for holding me back
Tick tock

You're time's running out little one
Quick!
Here's your chance
Freedom abounds
You call the shots
Your the big dog
No it ain't fun in the real world
But at least you have some new shoes
Hairstyle, makeup
Don't forget to conceal those imperfections
Who needs happiness
When you can fit in
Your world's crashing down
Melancholy around every corner

Could see the joy the child would
But squinted and pushed harder
For the goal impossible to achieve.
Dozens of eyes
Demanded more than she could handle
And it didn't take long
For them to brake her dreams.
She no longer
Wanted to even try
For they always pulled her down
And dragged her through the dirt.
Dozens of eyes
But why did she care
When no matter how hard she tried
They made sure she'd always fail?
You want me to be lost under the surface
I'm becoming this mistake
Feeling faithless, becoming tired
I've become so aware
You want me to be feeling pressure
Feeling numb
Becoming another mistake to you
You want me to be more like you
I've become so lost under the surfce
