Cars and Calories

Her life was magazines
 And faithful TV screens
 Selling an empty dream
 Of cars and calories
 Everything in between
 The sun and Saturn's ring
 The price tag can't be seen
 And it took bites
 Out of her insides
 Till she was just a hollow shell.
 Grew up in east LA
 Watching celebrities
 Living out all her dreams
 The plastic canopy
 Of US royalty
 Drew her gaze towards the sky
 Away from her own mind
 And it took bites
 Out of her insides
 Till she was just a hollow shell
 And at home her mother cried
 Cause daddy had something on the side
 They didn't look up when she sighed
 When August came around
 Bathing suits on the ground
 Replaced by a cotton cloak
 To see her own reflection
 Was like squinting in the sun
 And when all tomorrow brings
 Is a set of broken wings
 Well it takes bites
 Out of your insides
 Till you are just a hollow shell
 And it took bites
 Out of her insides
 Till she was just a hollow shell.
