about

This song is about my battle with an eating disorder.

lyrics

Verse 1
Step closer to gain a little clarity
We scatter our ashes to the wind
We spend our Saturdays between the sheets
And revel in this mutual sin

Prechorus
It’s such a lonely world for girls like me
Always starving ourselves so we can eat
It’s such a gaping void to fill to feel complete
And we wonder why we cry, and we wonder why we bleed

Chorus
September’s sunlight begins to fade
The cicadas mourn it in its wake
I’m the victim of another summer gone
And another season changed
My fasting flowers wither away

Verse 2
I bite my fingers to suppress the ache
And pick at the skin until it bleeds
The smoke in my lungs will never taste the same
But it’s a distraction from the need

Prechorus
It’s such a lonely world for girls like me
Always starving ourselves so we can eat
It’s such a gaping void to fill to feel complete
And we wonder why we cry, and we wonder why we bleed

Bridge
It’s such a lonely world for girls like me
Always starving ourselves so we can eat
It’s such a gaping void to fill to feel complete
And we wonder why we cry, and we wonder why we bleed

Repeat Chorus

I try to reason with this head of mine
But it feels like such a waste of time
I’m becoming yet another putrid lie
Dressed in a beautiful disguise
And my fasting flowers, they count the hours until springtime
