(**tw: eating disorder**)

Control me like a calorie
Restricting, burning, losing me
Tally marks
And faded scars
Trauma written everywhere

Fold me like a paper crown
Communicate with eyes gazed down
Ripping corners
Burning holes
Black like the bruises on your bones

It's a silly little numbers game
Lose yourself without a gain
Scales dropping
Weight falling
Meals go dying down the drain

My fingers are freezing
My hands going numb
Taking everything
I'm so afraid
Just a hollow-bodied skeleton

I'm never full enough
Skipping meals and endless bluffs
Shaking
Bones breaking
I'm falling and coming undone
