Time to watch behind closed doors
As I start to stab at my skin and bones
And I believe that it's better this way
Get my relief in this state of affairs
Rib pairs poking through a shirt
That's so very torn and old
Wear layers upon layers of clothes
Exercise for hours on end
I'm too skinny for the likes of me
I'm too skinny for the likes of me
And there is nothing I can do
As much as I try, try, try
I want more muscle tone
To be more than a skeleton
So I beat in discipline
I can take it, God I can take it
Nightmares plague my sleepwalking ways
Horrid laughter and painful memories
Of not being the ideal athlete
When standing out on the field
I'm too skinny for the likes of me
I'm too skinny for the likes of me
And there is nothing I can do
As much as a I try, try, try
Lying there naked with the girl I love
All too aware of the markings and bony frame
Protruding I am protruding through
When I am penetrating her
I'll eat and eat carbo-protein
But still I'll start to vanish
And leave no impression on the bed
A lightweight in this world
