Diet Culture

(アルバム： RECOVER - 2023)

My smaller friend is bloated
And has to announce it
My mother in law needs shape-wear
So her bits fit right
Someone I just met jokes that they forget
To eat until it's the middle of the night

And I know their worst fear is to look like me
And that fact makes me want to kill somebody
I'm eating at the counter and you're talking about your weight
I usually don't hate you but today I'm enraged

You look at me with pity
Just know I do the same to you
What a sad like you live
Afraid to gain a pound or two
I know that feeling well, and I can always tell
When someone is controlled by their food

And I know their worst fear is to look like me
And that fact makes me want to kill somebody
I'm eating at the counter and you're talking about your weight
I usually don't hate you but today I'm enraged

And I know at this point that everybody
Hates themselves and hates their bodies
But I've put in the work, yeah I've done my time
I'm taking up the space that is rightfully mine

There's nothing wrong with my body
"Fat" is not a dirty word
If my body tells me something
I will make sure it is heard
If my body is a vessel
I will give it what it needs
I will not betray my body
No matter what they think of me

There's nothing wrong with my body
"Fat" is not a dirty word
If my body tells me something
I will make sure it is heard
If my body is a vessel
I will give it what it needs
I will not betray my body
No matter what they think of me
