Milk In The Microwave - More Than Skin Deep lyrics
[Milk In The Microwave - More Than Skin Deep lyrics]
I'd like for my value to be more than skin deep
But it seems that's a foolish request
I wish that I saw myself how everyone sees
But my bar is stuck higher than the rest
I'm tired of squeezing myself in a mold
I'm tired of dreading the day I grow old
And [ _ ] a million stories
And scatter the reason they ignore me
The years of my youth are slowly slipping by
And my image is closely related
I'm stuck in a body that makes me want to cry
Yet I envy what years ago I hated
Cause I've tried to love myself since I was thirteen
But I'll never be like what I see on my screen
Cause standards impossible
And everyone knows
And yet, dysphoria grows
They say beauty comes in any name, shape, or size
And then sell us fixes to be easy on the eyes
I'm sick of, I'm tired of their pampering lies
And I wish I didn't worry about this all the time
I'd like for my value to be more than skin deep
For what's inside to be more worthwhile
I like being creative, I'm a night owl when I sleep
And I really like making people smile
I've never fit in almost anywhere
But frankly I really don't care
Somewhat
I like being different
But that doesn't apply to my looks
Somehow
I'm more than an object
I'm a human being
And that's alright with me
I'm more than an object
I'm a human being
And that's how it should be
I'm more than a flower
To be plucked at the stem
When [ _ ]
And the weeds are poisoned
I know it takes time to accept all my flaws
But maybe my self esteem's not a lost cause
I'd like for my value to be more than skin deep
And for me, one day, it can be
But it seems that's a foolish request
I wish that I saw myself how everyone sees
But my bar is stuck higher than the rest
I'm tired of squeezing myself in a mold
I'm tired of dreading the day I grow old
And [ _ ] a million stories
And scatter the reason they ignore me
The years of my youth are slowly slipping by
And my image is closely related
I'm stuck in a body that makes me want to cry
Yet I envy what years ago I hated
Cause I've tried to love myself since I was thirteen
But I'll never be like what I see on my screen
Cause standards impossible
And everyone knows
And yet, dysphoria grows
They say beauty comes in any name, shape, or size
And then sell us fixes to be easy on the eyes
I'm sick of, I'm tired of their pampering lies
And I wish I didn't worry about this all the time
I'd like for my value to be more than skin deep
For what's inside to be more worthwhile
I like being creative, I'm a night owl when I sleep
And I really like making people smile
I've never fit in almost anywhere
But frankly I really don't care

And that's alright with me

And that's how it should be
