Skinny, is that what you want to be?
Because, oh you and your low self- esteem, I swear honestly
You’re so Marilyn Monroe just on your own
Quit crying about your something for nothing
Everybody’s gonna die alone (anyway)

You say you’re fine,
But I can see it in your eyes, those little twisted surprises like stars
You’re lying
Oh well, I guess whatever gets you to sleep at night

(chorus)
Scream! Hearing that choke in your voice
Right before you cry, it makes my heart break
Watching you block out the white noise (this is one big show!)
How much can a teenager take? When you find out let me know!
Does it feel so much better to breath air even if it’s fake?
(so damn good!)
I hope to God this was worth it

The sharpest thing I ever saw!
(yeah, knife party!)
Scrape it off and scratch it raw!
I know what desolation feels like
But you’ve had enough time to realize
Smile, baby, smile it’s time to cut this cord short

Yeah times ten! Hearing that choke in your voice
Right before you cry, it makes my heart break
Watching you block out the white noise
How much can you take? Tell me, how much can you take?
All of this soap opera has been one piece of cake.
I hope, I hope, I hope to God this was worth any of your time

(instrumental)
Please don’t leave your shoes at my house again
I love you just the same
But I hate whenever you make me play this game!

Hearing that choke in your voice
Right before you cry, it makes my heart break (for you, and you alone)
Watching you block out the white noise
How much can you take?
How much can you take?

I promise that you aren’t just a beautiful mistake.
How far can you bend?
Oh, yes, I know that this is not the end
Bite as hard as you want!
Ah!!!!
Shoot.

In a way, I am mocking modern teenagers, and also sympathizing with people suffering low self-esteem.
