The Cavedogs - Taking Up Space lyrics

Her in the mirror, you seem to fear her now She's taking up the space that once made her so proud Beauty is pa**ion, you've seen it rationed out Remember what you had was in but soon in doubt It's drilled into your head You live it 'til you're dead Sally doesn't sleep a lot at night Sometimes, she wishes she could But the preparation must begin with the light To look is to be good The stranger inside her sees what's confined her fade Taking what you want and hiding it away The model you follow seems is too hollow to need Whatever is inside starts pushing at your seam It's drilled into your head It's the only thing you're fed Sally doesn't dream a lot at night The days just seem too full "Be contented with the world," her mother said "You are too beautiful" Her in the mirror, you seem to fear her now She's taking up the space that once made her so proud Beauty is pa**ion, you've seen it rationed out Remember what you had was in but soon in doubt It's drilled into your head You'll live it 'til you're dead Sally doesn't sleep a lot at all She never really could It's so late and straight and all along She never understood So she throws the curtains open The white street lights fill the empty room But they're just pa**ing by, no one can see That she is beautiful now
