Letter. (To You)

I wear black to fool my own eyes
Were mirrors built to make us cry?
'Cause every time I look, I wanna tear my outsides
I'm smart enough to know the fact
That social norms are just an act
But it's useless 'cause thinner is still all I think about
My eyes, my brows, my size, my nose make me fantasize
The very thing that gives me life's a cage I despise

And I wish I could break my bones
And cut my flesh to mend my soul
I would take out the fat inside
And muscle all of my parts
I keep on shrinking the shadow I'm
In my pics, I don't look alike
The thoughts are dark inside my heart
You don't wanna know what lies in park

Dear, I think that deep down I love and hate you the same
'Cause were assigned a full but ugly shell to my name
So every day, I try to find a way to shed new
And now I find myself writing words down for you
And this is my letter to you
My letter, my letter to you

I'll never know what a beach day's like
'Cause my chest is too big to show
And all the clothes I want don't fit my size
So I wear the same old to go
And no, don't you dare say you understand
I'm not easily offended, it's my body, I hate it
And the marks on my skin are my mental health's testament
To the torment I'm in

And I wish I could break my bones
And cut my flesh to mend my soul
I would take out the fat inside
And muscle all of my parts
I keep on shrinking the shadow I'm
In my pics, I don't look alike
The thoughts are dark inside my heart
You don't wanna know what lies in park

Dear, I think that deep down I love and hate you the same
'Cause were assigned a full but ugly shell to my name
So every day, I try to find a way to shed new
And now I find myself writing words down for you
And this is my letter to you
My letter, my letter to you

No matter how I try I can't escape the eyes
Only one way to break free
Extract my essence out this broken shell
And put it in a symmetric body
And in my dream a storm would cause a scene
And make the roof collapse all on, all on me
And when it does my body's bruised and gone
And so they'd have to build a new, a new me

Dear, I think that deep down I love and hate you the same
Oh, oh, oh
'Cause were assigned a full but ugly shell to my name
Oh, oh, oh
So every day, I try to find a way to shed new
And now I find myself writing words down for you
And this is my letter to you
You
My letter to you
To you
To you
My letter to you
