Lyrics
DESTROY MY BEAUTY THIS MEANS NOTHING TO YOU , BUT THE WORLD TO ME. TO BE TAKEN FOR WHAT I AM , NOT WHAT I SHOULD BE. SCARED TO JUST BE , SCARED TO BE ME. I NEED TO KNOW I AM NOT ALONE. CONCENTRATION....... LAPSES , DIZZINESS SWIRLS. I’M NO LONGER CONSCIOUS , OF MY NEED FOR CONTROL. SO I MEASURE MY LIFE , BY LOSS NOT BY GAIN. AND STRIVE FOR PERFECTION , I MAY NOT SUCCEED. THIS REMEDY IS WORSE THAN THE DISEASE. I WEAKEN IN MY LOSS. WILL PEOPLE EVER LOOK AT ME THE SAME? CAN I BE THAT PERSON AGAIN? ANOTHER MOUTHFUL OF SADNESS. MORE WEIGHT TO FUEL THIS MADNESS. MY BODY GROWS WEAK WITH OBSESSION. MY PAST THE ONLY THING THAT SMELLS SWEET. I ONLY EAT TO LIVE , NOT LIVE TO EAT. “ I FEAR IT , IT HURTS ME. I THINK OF IT ALWAYS...........IT RULES ME.” IT IS PART OF THE CURE , TO WISH TO BE CURED. AND TO FIRST ADMIT YOU ARE ILL. I WATCH THE WEAK WITH CONFLICTING EMOTIONS. AND DESTROY MY BEAUTY , BY LABOURING TO PRESERVE IT. THE OBLIGED , POUR THEIR CONCERN. ALL CONTENT IN THEIR VIEW OF NORMALITY. THEY DON’T UNDERSTAND , ONLY I TRULY KNOW. THE MORE THEY FIGHT IT , THE MORE IT’S WILL GROWS. AT THE TABLE I STARE , AND IT STARES BACK. LIFE COULD BE SO BEAUTIFUL , BUT NEVER IS. I FORCE MY REFLECTION INTO THE MIRROR. THE SAME ROUTINE EVERYDAY. RELUCTANTLY I EAT , SIT AND CRY , THEN THROW IT ALL AWAY. MY HEALTH IS A CONDITION OF MIND , NOT OF MATTER. I NEED TO RE-ESTABLISH SOME PURPOSE TO MY LIFE. ONLY WITH MY HEART CAN I TRULY SEE ME. WHAT IS ESSENTIAL IS INVISIBLE TO THE EYE. SO I’LL CARRY ON UNTIL I’M HAPPY , UNTIL I’M ME.HAPPY TO BE ME. (COPYRIGHT JOHN KNIGHT APRIL 1997- WITH KIND INPUT.)
