Power Play

(album: America Oil Lamb - 2016)

Does this look fat on me?
Do you think I should buy this?
Looks good, right?
It's on sale

My happiness is dripping
From wrinkles just beginning
Terrified of the future
Self conscious in this cycle

And when I think of time past
And wasting body tightness
I cry for all the babies
Their beauty quickly fading

I just wanna go
How can I be myself when you put me on a shelf?

I love your happy endings
Control my reckless spending
I need some medication
Something to make me feel thin

Despite the local growing
Sensation of the knowing
It's only getting hotter
I'll always be the monster

I just wanna go
How can I be myself when you put me on a shelf?
All I wanna know
Is this future power play discoing a secret way?

Botox, diet, don't be lonely
Lip injections, you're the only
Honest liar, listen closely
Life is more than social posting, yeah
Yeah, yeah

I just wanna go
How can I be myself when you put me on a shelf?
All I wanna know
Is this future power play discoing a secret way?
