Marathon - Photosynthesis lyrics

rate me

Most everybody can agree on what's sexy. <br />

I've often liked to think I was above such consensus. <br />

But with the doors locked and my drawers dropped, <br />

I'm no different 'cause these pictures have been training me. <br />

Mission: worship counterfeit bodies. Is this a shakedown? <br />

No, no this ain't how I usually find myself when I have a revelation. <br />

So here's the breakdown: a total fakeout jumping off the page. <br />

Synthesized, sanitized, glamorized. Surprise, surprise. <br />

Black bile expulsion: our hopes for beauty make an exit and get flushed. <br />

Three courses of self-confidence deported daily from the throat with a middle finger thrust. <br />

We're so sick. We have ingested a parasitic tour guide.<br />

I clearly have misplaced my trust. <br />

An industry built on the backs of insecurity, airbrushing out the human honesty.<br />

They've defined "sexy" so narrowly. <br />

I'm getting tunnel vision and I'm terrified that my willing complicity means that <br />

I will only desire what they have planned for me. <br />

I'm so scared. I'm so scared. I'm so scared. <br />

I'm so scared, somebody please shake me. <br />

Screw this. I'm posting signs: "No Hunting and No Trespassing." <br />

These dealers pushing rank moonshine can get the hell out of my pants and get the fuck out of my mind. <br />

I'm so sick. I have been sucked in but I'm hacking my way out with this simple ambition: <br />

All I want is to be free of judging everyone against a standard that doesn't even look human, now is that too much to ask?
