Forget the food and play the game
Let's see if I can be starved sane

Thoughts swimming in my mind
Throw it up, erase and rewind

If only I could purge insanity
I could be what I see so candidly

Eat my soul and throw it up
That's what I think of your love

Don't just sit there and stare
My hatred's real; my hatred's here

Let's play a game of Let's Pretend
Let's Pretend that we're friends

I'd tell you to go and leave
Why must you be so naive?

You think I care that you know?
Boo-hoo, boo-hoo. Let it go.

So I enjoy the thrill of starving myself
That doesn't mean I want or need your help

Don't try to change me for the final time
Quit trying to force-feed me your lines.

I don't want or need and I don't care
I want my bones pure and bare

When you see sunshine, I can't help but see rain
The best you can hope for is starving me sane

So, what's the difference between me and you?
I make you want to help me and you make me puke.

I never see the rainbow, only the rain.
Let's hope that one day I'll be starved sane.

nice tune

youre on the cusp of something good here
i like the idea
you juxtapose harsh emotion with practical casualness

thats effective
