Don't like the mirror
It lies to my face
The face I wish was shards
Laying across the floor
Don't like the scale
It tells too much truth
Of everything's excess
Don't allow access
Don't take my picture
It adds ten pounds
You can see my valleys
And you can see my hills
Go ahead without me
I'll stay inside
There isn't much to do here
But I guess I'll survive
I can hear it, I can hear it
The obsession
I can hear it, I can hear it
The pressure of perfection
For that photoshop working on my look
Got that makeup covering my whole face
You can't tell me I look beautiful
When the magazines tell me otherwise
You can't tell me I'm perfect the way I am
Because perfection is the biggest lie
God made me like this
And He looked at me
He called me perfect
Even with all my schemes
But here I am
Backing up from that
This flesh doesn't
Want to believe
This world has got
Me in a bind
It says I won't
Be satisfied
Pucker up my lips
Give myself away
Believe in nothing
They say there's no point to pray
I can hear it, I can hear it
The obsession
I can hear it, I can hear it
The pressure of perfection
For that photoshop working on my look
Got that makeup covering my whole face
You can't tell me I look beautiful
When the magazines tell me otherwise
You can't tell me I'm perfect the way I am
Because perfection is the biggest lie
Society expects us to be obedient
And bow down to its expectations
To bathe in our ignorance and ignore God's voice
Killing our consciences with our pure selfishness
We watch the hand that's waving right in front of us
Missing the trick-their slight of hand
TV is lying and too blue for common sense
In the future all that will be red is my blood that's shed
I can hear it, I can hear it
The obsession
I can hear it, I can hear it
The pressure of perfection
For that photoshop working on my look
Got that makeup covering my whole face
You can't tell me I look beautiful
When the magazines tell me otherwise
You can't tell me I'm perfect the way I am
Because perfection is the biggest lie
