Letra de 4st 7lb - Remastered

I eat too much to die and not enough to stay alive
I′ve been sitting here until light comes
Days since I last passed cheeks, sunken and despaired
So gorgeous, sunk to six stone, lose my only remaining home
See my third rib appear a week later, all my flesh disappears
Stretching taut, cling film on bone, I'm getting better

Karen says I′ve reached my target weight
Kate and Emma and Christian know it's fake
Problem is diet's not a big enough word
I wanna be so skinny that I rot from view

I, I, I, I, I want to walk in the snow
And not leave a footprint
I, I, I, I, I want to walk in the snow
And not soil its purity

Stomach collapsed at five lift up, my skirt, my sex is gone
Naked and lovely and five, four, two
May I bud and never flower
My vision′s getting blurred but I can see my ribs and I feel fine
My hands are trembling stalks
And I can feel my breasts are sinking

Mother tries to choke me with roast beef
And sits savoring her sole Ryvita
"That′s the way you're built," my father says
But I can change, my cocoon shedding

I, I, I, I, I want to walk in the snow
And not leave a footprint
I, I, I, I, I want to walk in the snow
And not soil its purity

Kate and Christian and Kit Kat
All things I like looking at
Too weak to fuss, too weak to die
Choice is skeletal in everybody′s life

I choose, my choice, I starve to frenzy
Hunger soon passes and sickness soon tries
Legs bend, stocking, I am Twiggy
And I don't mind the horror that surrounds me

Self-worth scatters, self-esteem′s a bore
I long since moved to a higher plateau
This discipline's so rare so please applaud
Just look at the fat scum who pamper me so

Yeah, 4st 7lb, an epilogue of youth
Such beautiful dignity in self-abuse
I′ve finally come to understand life
Through staring blankly at my navel
