Dysmorphia
a gnawing obsession
aiming for perfection
possessing a handicap might seem like two steps back
the mirror changed me
my self-image deranged me
i'm ugly and disfigured, i was never satisfied
years of therapy
wasted time and anxious dreams
i've waited for so long, but i was always ready
i tried to convince them, but still they couldn't see
but i don't care, shoot me up and cut below the knee
give me back my self-esteem
help me please fulfill my dream
a lump of flesh that serves no one
thank you christ at last it's gone
all throughout my life, like a parasite it seemed
a burden to my mind, it never was a part of me
but now it's gone, i'm sitting here unable to explain
this sudden happiness, i wonder have i gone insane?
give me back my self-esteem
help me please fulfill my dream
a lump of flesh that serves no one
thank you christ at last it's gone
