about

This track is about body image and the struggles anorexic as well as many other people with eating disorders face. I myself have struggled with my own appearance on multiple occasions. I'm rarely content or happy with how I look, and the mindset many anorexic people can have when they're literally starving themselves is toxic and difficult to explain. I hope that for those of you who know the feeling, that this song does it justice!

***Please note, half of the proceeds from this track as well as any other tracks from Speak Up, Speak Out, go to charities for mental illness awareness***

lyrics

I look in the mirror he says
fat's no feeling
but I'm going through this hell
and I'm losing to myself

If used is no emotion
and it's just an adjective
why's it burning on my tongue
every word that I've become

My reflection's a villian
and it knows
what i hate to hear
it's in my head
not whispering in my ear that
this is my feeling, oh
my reflection is a villian

oh it loves to see me struggle
I won't give it satisfaction
how can i bring myself down further
when I'm already drowning
maybe I wanna show these bones
'cuz I'm not happy in this skin
maybe I wanna do some damage to myself
'cuz I can't do it to him

My reflection's a villain
and it knows
what i hate to hear
it's in my head
not whispering in my ear that
this is my feeling, oh
my reflection is a villain

My reflection is a villain
like so many of them are
amplifying imperfections
and attentive audience
as you tear yourself apart
down from your head deep to your core
look for beauty 'cuz there's more to you
than the mirror shows
there's go to be more to you
than the mirror shows

My reflection's a villain
and it knows
what i hate to hear
it's in my head
not whispering in my ear that
this is my feeling, oh
my reflection is a villain
