A Protest in Lines Too Thin to Read by Evaline Lyrics

[Intro]
A parent walks in on a child cutting themself
Laughs and says: "You're silly dear
You're only hurting yourself"
So, cut deep or don't cut at all
Are you listening?
I don't care what your parents tell you
Don't cut at all
Oh, please be listening
I don't care what those bastards tell you
Don't cut at all

[Verse 1]
You're staggering in
You find a finger gagging yourself
You heave and say that "I'm not like those pigs
I don't care what's good for my health"
Controlling the room with tilted thighs
It comes to me as no surprise that
I even flicker on my own
[Pre-Chorus]
Feed the one that's closer
As you're flickering on
Feed the one that's closed
As you flicker

[Chorus]
Starving artist, you will
I said it before
Shed your burdens and build on
You shed your clothes in spite and whisper
You shed your clothes in spite, and whisper
"I make the demands"

[Verse 2]
Well, I'm doubting my portrait of skin
But I sure as hell won't find limbs down my throat
The substance of weight defines
The beauty laced behind the pride
Of my even scales, they stand alone

[Bridge]
So, cut
Oh, living deeply
Cut
Oh, not at all
You shed your clothes in spite and whisper
You shed your clothes in spite and whisper
You bear these lines to cleanse your system
You bear these lines despite the symptoms
I make the demands
I make the demands
[Chorus]
Starving artist, you will
I said it before
Shed your burdens and build on

[Outro]
We won't give up
We won't give up now
We won't give up
We won't give up now
We won't give up
We won't give up now
We won't give up
We won't give up now
We won't give up
We won't give up now
We won't give up
We won't give up
We won't give up
We won't give up now
