You think you can escape me
I'm gonna make you hate me
I won't let you leave
I'll be the only thing you need.
When you look in that mirror,
It won't be you that you see.
I'll twist every image inside of your mind.
Make you believe that you're going to be fine.
You're gonna try to shake me,
one day at a time.
But I'm gonna consume you,
Until you're all mine.
You won't be able to see what your friends try to show you
You think they can't understand because they don't really know you.
I'll make you lie about me to protect what we have.
I'm gonna break you down until there's nothing left.
The number on the scale will become your enemy.
No matter how low it gets you won't be able to see.
If you try to cheat me,
I'll make you regret it.
You'll head straight to the bathroom,
And you'll never forget it.
I'll always be the only voice that you hear.
Reminding you that I'm what you should fear.
You can't fight me forever,
Though you're gonna try.
I'm gonna take over your body
Until you run out of time.
Skin and bones is all that you'll be,
But you'll still see the flaws,
You'll never stop needing me.
I'm a part of you now,
Until you take your last breath,
There's no way out,
Until you reach your death.
