mirrors and magazines - gone_3fw8_957b lyrics

[verse 1]
everyday she wake up and shower at 4 am
put makeup she allergic to onto her perfect skin
apply pink or red onto pursed lips
at 7 puts on her shoes, go to school a nervous wreck
lookin like a seventeen model she’s 17
mesmerized by the mannequin models from magazines
the flawless skin, foxy grin and the glossy hair
expressions so fragile that if they were brushed by air
they would fall apart; which was how she felt
she knew that she needed help every single time she knelt
on the bathroom floor, her suffocating see through blouse
squeezing every bit of breakfast lunch and dinner out
listening to exploits ’bout how her friends let men exploit them
makes her wonder how the h-ll she don’t have no ex boyfriend
she should want a man who’ll use the condom in her purse
but she would rather somebody who can get her problems heard

[pre-hook]
as if our eyes couldn’t be more merciful
as if our tongues couldn’t be more hurtful
there ain’t enough in the day-to-day whirlpool?
mirrors and magazines make and break girls too

[hook]
aesthetics equal authority so everyone tries loyally
to present a pleasant self to eye of man
ignoring inner integrity they step over the casualties
broken mirrors show what really lie within

[verse 2]
her dad’s only friends are 40, johnnie and jack
they make the household safe only until he comes back
she and mom moved outta this h-ll when she was 12
from then on she trusted no man but herself
from her friends she gets no love, she can only act tough
every time they go to clubs, you know she always shows up
they go get stoned and drunk, she just goes to throw up
they’re always living it up, she always go to a corner but
like kids to a toaster guys always approach her
she lets them get closer but they never hold her
attention, but they still warm to her cold shoulder
maybe if she acted older she’ll choose someone to go home with
can’t provoke her desire, they can’t stoke her fire
her ire gets higher, every time she says bye to
a man, what happened next really p-ssed her off
she bumped into a girl; they introduced then hit it off

[pre hook]

[hook]

[verse 3]
she’s alone, thrown down the social totem
troubled thoughts tumbling around her head
she wondered who told ’em, she thought no one saw them
she only remembers ruby red
blonde hair, eyes blue, somewhere, iso
locked the door, lips, fate, tried to
make sense of it, couldn’t think straight since
tried explaining to her friends, they just tried to dissuade, d-mn
now, summer leaves like autumn trees
no qualms proceeding, mirror falls to pieces
palms are bleeding, calmly receiving
the jaunts and jeers, ignored the sneering
for too long, one dawn, finally snapped
cut her hair, dyed it black, tied it back, packed a bag
lips quiver, slatish tears, prepares for dark days
left behind magazine pages, mirror shards stained
