Me and Mia

As I was walking through a life one morning
 The sun was out, the air was warm
 But oh, oh, oh, I was cold
 And though, I must have looked half a person
 To tell the tale in my own version
 It was o-o-only then that I felt whole
 Do you believe
 In something beautiful?
 Then get up and be it
 Fighting for the smallest goal
 To get a little self-control
 I know how hard you try
 I see it in your eyes
 But call your friends
 'Cause we've forgotten
 What it's like to eat what's rotten
 What's eating you alive
 Might help you to survive
 We went on, as we were on a mission
 Latest in a grand tradition
 And oh, oh, oh, what did we find?
 It was ego who was flying the banner
 And me and Mia, Ann and Ana
 Oh, oh, oh, we'd been unkind
 But do you believe
 In something beautiful?
 Then get up and be it
 Fighting for the smallest goal
 To get a little self-control
 I see it in your eyes
 I see it in your spine
 But call your friends
 'Cause we've forgotten
 What it's like to eat what's rotten
 What's eating you alive
 Might help you to survive
 And even the nights, they could get better
 And even the days ain't all that bad
 And after a week of fighting
 As more and more, it seems the right thing
 Do you believe
 In something beautiful?
 Then get up and be it
 Fighting for the smallest goal
 To gain a little self-control
 Won't anybody here
 Just let you disappear?
 Not doctors, nor your mom and dad
 But me and Mia, Ann and Ana
 Know how hard you try
 Don't you see it in my eyes?
 Sick to death of my dependence
 Fighting food to find transcendence
 Fighting to survive
 More dead but more alive
 Cigarettes and speed for livin'
 And sleeping pills to feel forgiven
 All that you contrive
 And all that you're deprived
 All the bourgeois social angels
 Telling you, you've got to change
 Don't have any idea
 They'll never see so clear
 But don't forget, what it really, really
 Means to hunger strike
 When you don't really need to
 Some are dying for a cause
 But, that don't make it yours
 And even the nights, they could get better
