Empty lyrics

Mirror mirror on the wall

Tunnel vision on the flaws

In the scale of things it’s unimportant

So no talking but it’s still an intrusive thought

Tried hard to correct it

But nothing was effective

No-one else seemed so obsessed with it, things were desperate

Until the voice crept in

I can help you, trust me, you’re ready

It seemed dangerous

But it said to have faith in it

The secret is to just be empty

Didn’t know if it was wise to listen

But what could it hurt to try?

And at first it was working

But then things were emerging

Cracked lips and tired eyes

I’m hungry with no appetite

I’m shivering and shaking, and I tell myself it’s fine, but

You can’t fool your body, you can only fool your mind, yuh

Empty

I just need to be empty

Hide from anybody who’ll prevent me

Just fill up on water and shame

No, I’m not hungry, I just ate

I’ve developed a taste for this

Endure the neverending ache

Convince myself I’m in control and it’s not

All that voice that makes me sick

Inside it’s empty

Ana- I know it’s wrong

I’m looking but I can’t see myself

Inside it’s empty

Ana- I know it’s wrong

But it’s so hard to stop it alone

Been getting even worse

All the days begin to merge

Just a blurry haze and now it’s

Almost second nature to ignore the urges

Can’t trust my own nature

Every calorie a failure

Gotta push the intake down every day

‘Cause the voice comes back to say

You want to eat? Bite your tongue

Don’t want to stay an embarrassment

Just have to stomach it

They don't know what you want

A tug of war against common sense

Don’t wanna believe that I’ve overstepped

But it’s so overwhelming

And I hope no-one can tell

‘Cause the numbers keep decreasing

This ordeal is becoming routine, check

Arms back neck thighs, suck it in and pinch my sides

The scales are betraying me, the mirror is a lie, yeah

Numbers

It all comes down to numbers

I know it’s wrong but

Just because you know you’re colorblind

doesn’t mean you can see the colors

Fine, I admit I’m addicted

But the hunger feels good, how do I quit this

I know I could die, I’ve seen the statistics

But the voice is with me through thick and thin

Inside it’s empty

Ana- I know it’s wrong

I’m looking but I can’t see myself

Inside it’s empty

Ana- I know it’s wrong

But it’s so hard to stop it alone

Inside it’s empty

Ana- I know it’s wrong

I’m looking but I can’t see myself

Inside it’s empty

Ana- I know it’s wrong

But it’s so hard to stop it alone

I can reach out

To someone not like me

If you ask for help it doesn’t make you weak

I can reach out

To someone not like me

I can help my mind to learn to trust my body

I can reach out

To someone not like me

If you ask for help it doesn’t make you weak

I can reach out

Ignore what the voice tells me

I can help my mind learn to trust my body

Inside it’s empty

Ana- I know it’s wrong

I’m looking but I can’t see myself

Inside it’s empty

Ana- I know it’s wrong

But it’s so hard to stop it alone

Inside it’s empty (I can reach out)

Inside it’s empty (I can reach out)
