lyrics

I spent half an hour today searching for perfection in my face
But it seemed there was none to be found
I was caught up thinking about all the guys i see in the airbrushed magazines
Is that what beauty is about?
Cause I don't want to be lacking in personality
and trying to fit into one single mold
I freed something deep in me, and now I'm starting to see
That all kinds of things are desirable

You got a pretty smile, you're desirable
I got a grungy style and I'm desirable
Trading perfect muscles and perfect bodies for empty souls
Is not desirable

I want to be functionally strong, not just another sheep playing along

All the lies that the culture is telling me
Are poisoning me faster than i can stop
And there is no antidote to be seen
Seems that being gym obsessed
And preoccupied with the size of my biceps
Is the only way to any intimacy
But you're the only one you have to please
Don't be a victim of a social disease
go deep to find the strength within your own self
Move beyond your suffering, try a little deep breathing
And the ice around your heart can begin to melt

Living and loving wild and free, that's the way we were supposed to be
My beauty they can't take away from me, that's the way I was supposed to be

Do you see me? I'm all I can be.

I'm enough for me.
