Fig Tree
I think I've got a tech neck, I think I'm dead inside
I'm gonna buy a new scarf, a skinny one with stripes
Gonna cover it up, is that a smile line?
I'm gonna buy a new cream in 2025
How many days in between before my dates expired?
How much more do I get before my looks get tired
Of holding me up?
Slave to the patriarch
Brain like an amusement park
I kinda feel sick of spinnin' in the dark
Is this who we are?
Life's not a fig tree, you're not made of glass
Better to have creases then to never have laughed
You're not a sun that's setting
And you're not a tight wound, highly strung
Consumer of whatever they sell you to make you feel young
Your life is more than their obsession
Obsession
Guess I should cover my roots, can't be a silver fox
How many buzz words can we fit on a pink taxed box?
Give me a reason to hate myself and I'll take the lot
I'm scared of needles and I wish I could just get rid
Of all the lines that my smiling inner child hid
Why does the world want a woman to look like a kid?
You're holding me back
Slave to the patriarch
Brain like an amusement park
I kinda feel sick of spinnin' in the dark
Is this who we are?
Life's not a fig tree, you're not made of glass
Better to have creases then to never have laughed
You're not a sun that's setting
And you're not a tight wound, highly strung
Consumer of whatever they sell you to make you feel young
Your life is more than their obsession
Obsession
Choose heavy hula-hoops that swing around your stomach and leave marks
Choose Pilates, liposuction, don't forget to wear a bra
Choose youth, choose smooth, let lasers touch your bare skin
Don't drink, don't blink, choose diet soda, thin is in
Choose chia seeds and doll girl knees and supplements to straighten hair
Choose running apps and post your maps, share location without care
Choose to brag, become the centre of the problem that we swear
Is just the system, I assist him, I know I'm not being fair
I wanna choose to riot, choose to love
Choose to bathe under the sun, choose to hold my mother up
Choose to age like fine wine, never try to freeze in time
Choose a life that is mine, I'll choose a life that is mine
I'll choose a life that is mine
I'll choose a life that is mine
I'll choose a life that is mine
Choose a life that is mine
I'm gonna buy a new scarf, a skinny one with stripes
Gonna cover it up, is that a smile line?
I'm gonna buy a new cream in 2025
How many days in between before my dates expired?
How much more do I get before my looks get tired
Of holding me up?
Slave to the patriarch
Brain like an amusement park
I kinda feel sick of spinnin' in the dark
Is this who we are?
Life's not a fig tree, you're not made of glass
Better to have creases then to never have laughed
You're not a sun that's setting
And you're not a tight wound, highly strung
Consumer of whatever they sell you to make you feel young
Your life is more than their obsession
Obsession
Guess I should cover my roots, can't be a silver fox
How many buzz words can we fit on a pink taxed box?
Give me a reason to hate myself and I'll take the lot

I'll choose a life that is mine
Choose a life that is mine
