Reading past the lines
Searching for prophets my faith it’s paper thin
Is this life really what it seems
Stuck in this place between awake and dreams
In this Kingdom of photoshopped kings and queens
We can never feel happy with ourselves
And that’s how this story goes
Alayaa was the most beautiful girl in this world
She shined brighter than stars in the sky
But then as soon as she turned 13
She just forgot how bright she shined
Stuck in a material world of magazines
That glamorized the fake and photoshopped Beauty queens
Top 10 Beauty Tips making her feel inadequate
for the first time in her life she felt Ugly
So Alayaa stopped eating to lose weight
She spent her dinner money to buy makeup for her face !
But no matter how much she lost how much she got she was never good enough or so she thought !
Alayaa felt she could never be loved
She started cutting her wrists and hiding the scars with the gloves
At 16 an Anorexic Beauty Queen
She collapses in her tears and her blood
You told us all these lies that we must buy to keep in touch
I mean what sort of culture do we live in
When we’re defined by the shape of our face
When we’re ashamed by the size of our waist
And we’re imprisoned by the form that we take
And this is how the story goes…..
Reading past the lines
Searching for prophets
My faith is paper thin
