lyrics

(Thinner)
Sink further into the floor
My body's heavy, head is soar
I'm lost


Eyes bigger than they appear
I'm floating in the atmosphere
I'm gone


Don't wanna be lost
But I lost myself so long ago
Don't wanna be here
But here is where I made a home


Now I'm listening to all the sweet sounds
on the radio
Feeding into all of those stereotypes
I wish that I was thinner
Oh I wish that I was prettier
Wish my skintone wasn't pictured as the monsters on your media (ah)




Monsters on your tv
Am I really that scary
I wish that I was smaller
Thank god I'm not taller
I wanna be invisible
Need to be invisible
Do they see me
Can they see me (ah)
Do they hear me
Do they wanna get to know me
Do my words even matter
Do my words even matter
(Yeah oh ah)


Or are you listening to
All the sweet sounds on the radio
Feeding into all of your stereotypes
I wish that I was thinner
Oh I wish that I was prettier
Wish my skintone wasn't pictured as the monsters on your media (ah)


on the radio
Feeding into all of your stereotypes
I wish that I was thinner
Oh I wish that I was prettier
Wish my skintone wasn't pictured as the monsters on your media (ah)


Sweet sound
Sweet sound
Oh oh
Oh oh ah
Oh oh ah
