[00:07.400]Mary Lambert
[00:13.800]I know girls who are trying to fit into the social norm
[00:16.740]Like squeezing into last year's prom dress
[00:20.200]I know girls who are low rise, mac eyeshadow, and binge drinking
[00:24.390]I know girls that wonder if they're disaster and sexy enough to fit in
[00:29.560]I know girls who are fleeing bombs from the mosques of their skin
[00:32.980]Playing russian roulette with death
[00:35.100]It's never easy to accept
[00:36.210]That our bodies are fallible and flawed
[00:38.770]But when do we draw the line
[00:40.970]When the knife hits the skin
[00:43.190]Isn't it the same thing as purging?
[00:45.040]Because we're so obsessed with death
[00:46.890]Some women just have more guts than others
[00:50.130]The funny thing is women like us don't shoot
[00:52.800]We swallow pills, still wanting to be beautiful at the morgue
[00:57.640]Still proceeding to put on make-up
[00:59.680]Still hoping that the mortician finds us sexy and attractive
[01:03.280]We might as well be buried with our shoes
[01:05.330]And handbags and scarves, girls
[01:08.190]We flirt with death everytime we etch a new tally mark into our skin
[01:12.190]I know how to split my wrists to reveal a battlefield too
[01:15.030]But the time has come for us to reclaim our bodies
[01:18.280]Our bodies deserve more than to be war-torn and collateral
[01:21.800]Offering this mother****er as a pathetic means to say
[01:25.240]"I only know how to exist when I am wanted" “
[01:30.890]Girls like us are hardly ever wanted you know
[01:35.240]We're used up, and we're sad, and drunk
[01:38.800]And perpetually waiting by the phone for someone to pick up
[01:42.080]And tell us that we did good
[01:44.040]We did good.
[01:50.370]I know I am because I said I am
[01:53.330]I know I am because I said I am
[01:56.540]I know I am because I said I am
[02:03.170]My body is home
[02:06.050]My body is home
[02:10.270]I know I am because I said I am
[02:13.700]I know I am because I said I am
[02:17.240]I know I am because I said I am

I know girls who are trying to fit into the social norm
Like squeezing into last year's prom dress
I know girls who are low rise, mac eyeshadow, and binge drinking
I know girls that wonder if they're disaster and sexy enough to fit in
I know girls who are fleeing bombs from the mosques of their skin
Playing russian roulette with death
It's never easy to accept
That our bodies are fallible and flawed
But when do we draw the line
When the knife hits the skin
Isn't it the same thing as purging?
Because we're so obsessed with death
Some women just have more guts than others
The funny thing is women like us don't shoot
We swallow pills, still wanting to be beautiful at the morgue
Still proceeding to put on make-up
Still hoping that the mortician finds us sexy and attractive
We might as well be buried with our shoes
And handbags and scarves, girls
We flirt with death everytime we etch a new tally mark into our skin
I know how to split my wrists to reveal a battlefield too
But the time has come for us to reclaim our bodies
Our bodies deserve more than to be war-torn and collateral
Offering this mother****er as a pathetic means to say
"I only know how to exist when I am wanted" “
Girls like us are hardly ever wanted you know
We're used up, and we're sad, and drunk
And perpetually waiting by the phone for someone to pick up
And tell us that we did good
We did good.
I know I am because I said I am
I know I am because I said I am
I know I am because I said I am
My body is home
My body is home
I know I am because I said I am
I know I am because I said I am
I know I am because I said I am
