Citizen Soldier

Anyone But Me

Citizen Soldier


Mirror, mirror on the wall
I see you and my skin crawls
Binge and purge in bathroom stalls
I can't take it, I can't take it

Stuck in skin I can't take off
So obsessed with what I'm not
Hit myself for every flaw
I can't take it

If I died at least I couldn't feel this alone
Even in my own skin it's like I'm never home
Like who I am is just a cage
It's suicide to live this way
Some nights I lie awake and I just dream
That I am someone else, anyone but me

(Anyone but me)

Skipping meals is not enough
Thinking things that twist my guts
If I was skinny I'd be loved
I can't take it, I can't take it

Deprecation in my blood
Bleeding knees, bruise and cuts
Reflection [?] the flood
I feel naked

If I died at least I couldn't feel this alone
Even in my own skin it's like I'm never home
Like who I am is just a cage
It's suicide to live this way
Some nights I lie awake and I just dream
That I am someone else, anyone but me

(Mirror, mirror on the wall)
(I see you and my skin crawls)
(Mirror, mirror on the wall)

If I died at least I couldn't feel this alone
Even in my own skin it's like I'm never home
Like who I am is just a cage
It's suicide to live this way
Some nights I lie awake and I just dream
That I am someone else, anyone but me
