Lyrics
Departed
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Starving yourself to fit the picture
You've forgotten who you once use to be
I will never starve to fit that picture
I'm not the picture but at least I know I'm me
You can't fight your way out this time
You let them take you over
You're going under to live the lie
While on the surface you're going no where
You've lost all trust and all at once
The happiness you see has now gone to me
And it's over now you can't fight it now
You've lost it all and you wonder how
Starving yourself to fit your picture
They've forgotten who you once use to be
Now they've wrapped you in barb wire
Until you could not breathe
