[HOOK] Tell me, how am I supposed to breathe When society's busy suffocating me On how I should be functioning With so little oxygen? Tell me, how thin does it need to be? [VERSE] I cannot fill the lungs I'm born with Sucking in my gut to get that dollar sign kind of fit Shapes of me on the big screens, in magazines, And every celebrity with big dreams I'm starving on the hope to be like them, just a bit To be on their list, to not shoot and miss To say hopelessness ain't my kind of gig That's who I want, that's who I want, that's who I wanna be Is there a way, is there a way I can be that and me? No, no, no, I got nothing for the masses All they ever wanted were the looks and the assets And I'm just a consumer whose making a racket Damn, all I wanted were the dreams, not a fact check Just a fat cheque on my fat breast Not skinned alive for a skinny test Count the zeroes in the bank Not the zeroes on my scale When success is holding in Gasping is a sign I'll fail [HOOK] [VERSE] They tell me that's what I want That that's what I want I'm the one feeding the cycle of making that what they want And what they want isn't me I'm not the one they wanna see I look like anybody I'm breathing too easy looking the way I do I'm just another average fool Wishin' I'm on Wikipedia as a star of the media I'm consuming just like you Hooked on infomercials, my mood Is to fit in the one-size-fits-all tube I wanna pay for all this food And be able to eat it too Everything's a fad, everything don't last Everything I thought they wanted is already in the past Everything in mass production is fast Everything I ever wanted must be paid in cash, cash I don't have 'Cause I'm not made of money, I wear no dollar signs My value ain't monetary, or is that a poor man's line? See the face of success on screen? I'm sold every time So, every second I'm me, I don't own a single dime [BRIDGE] But I wanna breathe I want room to breathe Gasping for air ain't my style I don't wanna hold my breath Just to look picture perfect Let me be the one I reflect on the screen See that's me [HOOK] But tell me, how am I supposed to breathe When everybody's busy suffocating me On how I should be functioning With so little oxygen? Tell me, how thin do I need to be? [OUTRO] I'm holding my breath, I'm holding my breath I'm holding my breath in Yeah, I'm holding my breath, I'm holding my breath in End scene.
