about

'Truth in the Mirror' is an exploration into the idea of body dysmorphia and how it personally affects those who experience it.

lyrics

Well something's not quite right
It isn't sitting well with me
I wish that I was comfortable
Wearing my own skin

When I was just a kid
Knew nothing of the world
Thought that I was bulletproof
But it was within me

How do you expect me
To function in society
When my body is my enemy
And it's plain to see it's affecting me

Why do we let this beast run free
What is it we are trying to achieve
By ignoring the damage in its wake
And pretending we're okay

I struggle to see the truth in the mirror
Despite being told I'm not what I see
I wish that I could listen to reason
And list all the reasons why

How do you expect me
To function in society
When my body is my enemy
And it's plain to see it's affecting me

And all of my life I pretended
And all of my life I pretended
And all of my life I pretended your words didn't hurt

Your words hurt me
Your words hurt me
