[Verse 1:close smoky whisper tone] Teach me how to hold my face Underneath the bathroom light Sell me shoulders, sell me grace Tell me which one looks right Blue for hunger, pink for shame Clean-cut boys and porcelain skin Give the wound a pretty name Then tell me where I fit in [Pre-Chorus] Smile for the lens Bleed in a straight line Be what they want Right on time [Chorus] Am I hard enough to be a man? Am I soft enough to disappear? You dress the cage in neon light And call it being sincere Make me sharp, make me sweet Make me perfect for the feed I can taste the plastic flowers Growing from your perfect teeth [Verse 2] Scroll down, choose a better self One that never makes them stare Rage is handsome on a boy Pain is pretty over there Buy the body, learn the walk Turn the tremble into style Every mirror learns to talk Every stranger rates your smile [Pre-Chorus] Pose for the brand Breathe when they say so Love what you’re sold Don’t let it show [Chorus] Am I hard enough to be a man? Am I soft enough to disappear? You dress the cage in neon light And call it being sincere Make me sharp, make me sweet Make me perfect for the feed I can taste the plastic flowers Growing from your perfect teeth [Bridge: dark intimate vocal] Dress me in rules Cut me to size Put a clean label Over my eyes Boy like a weapon Girl like a prayer Both made of silence Both going nowhere I won’t be your beautiful shape I won’t be your polished disease I’d rather blur into the noise Than die on my knees [Final Chorus] I’m not hard enough for your machine I’m not soft enough to erase I’m the crack across the screen I’m the blur you couldn’t place Make me wrong, make me strange I won’t beg to be believed Let the plastic flowers burn I was never made for your feed [Outro] Not for your feed Not for your feed Blurred in the headlights Still breathing
