Apocalypse Hoboken - Anorexic Complexion lyrics

rate me

A lonely child divorced from teenage sex and novelties

She didn't have the smile to make the prom queen

With stomach pain she followed on with her wretch routine

And all the time we watched her melt away

Time slips

Harsh words

Thighs

Breasts

I wouldn't treat a girl like that

With that magic size and swollen eyes everything comes true

Take the manic ride a magazine disguise may your dreams come true

With your circus mirror and bottled tears your body is a tomb

It's a modern world and you're a modern girl may your rest come soon

Now a troubled wife a battered woman forced insecurities

She didn't have the smile to mask the hurt inside

Throughout her life she was told who she was supposed to be

And all the time we watched her melt away
