whose name is that scrawled across the page
the all star girl, the annorexia sage
if you don't agree i want to say i'm wrong
i think that i have been a friend too long
you say you are tired in your whispery voice
everyone's dirty and all the music is noise
take the credit for a thought that i had
then i wonder why my poetry is called so bad
and use my words to earn friends and acclaim
on that page it should be my f*cking name
isn't it strange
how the pretty become famous
and if they knew us
they wouldn't blame us
for saying
i think i've been choked by the food chain
i am sick and tired of being your standby
stand by me we don't see eye to eye
you're far above me that i already know
you're so damned pretty and i have to tell you so
don't have a purpose except to look down on
i guess that depression is another thing you frown on
always speaking out of your f*cking turn
to busy preaching to ever try to learn
but that's okay you know i'll fix it for you
after all that's the only thing i can do
isn't it strange
how the pretty become famous
and you knew us
you'd probably blame us
but i think we've been choked by the food chain
