Cars Calories by Saves the Day Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
And it took bites out of her insides
'Til she was just a hollow shell

[Verse 2]
Grew up in east L.A
Watching celebrities
Living out all her dreams
The plastic canopy of U.S. royalty
Drew her gaze towards the sky
Away from her own mind

[Chorus]
And it took bites out of her insides
'Til she was just a hollow shell
[Hook]
And at her home her mother cried
'Cause daddy had something on the side
They didn't look up when she sighed

[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus]
Well it takes bites out of your insides
'Til you are just a hollow shell

And it took bites out of her insides
'Til she was just a hollow shell
