lyrics

Skin tight. Just play along and you'll be alright. Hold tight. It won't be long until the daylight. The global fashion industry thrives on insecurity. It preys upon the purity of young girls' immaturity. An arbitrary referee appointed by society, suggesting that her worth should be based on physicality, the shape of her anatomy or how she looks in Burberry. Before she reaches puberty she's already afraid to eat; afraid she's under scrutiny each time she visits Dairy Queen. Her classmates can be very mean, they peel away her self-esteem with innuendo to demean a body type that's like she's never seen in any magazine. Skin tight; it's like a snake bite. You know the truth is in your mind and beauty's what you find inside, and though the world can be unkind, only you can draw the line. Only you can keep reminding that the clothes and lies you're buying; shoes designed for social climbing, aren't the ones you should be shining. Everyone is only trying to hold the ground they're occupying. Use your will to keep denying underlying, terrifying expectations they're applying. Who's needs are they satisfying? Who's fears are they magnifying? Perhaps I'm oversimplifying, but there could be a lot less crying. Skin tight. Play along and you'll be alright. Hold tight. Stay strong until the daylight. Keep on walking past reflections on the cold hard glass. You're so much more than just the shadow that you cast.
