Elyse Miller Paperdoll lyrics

© 2010 Elyse Nichole Miller

Strip my hide and shave my skin
Slip me on and wear me thin
Pump me full of chemicals
Carcinogenic miracles

Just like a paperdoll, Fuck me like a paperdoll
Tear me, share me, You can even wear me as a
Trophy pinup on your sleeve
Disposable, posable, For your every need

It’s the constant pressure, The driving mania
To be as thin, And as smooth, And as shallow
As paper

It’s the way They’re all shaped
To make us hate us, To make us hate them
It’s the way we’re all trained
We would kill to be them

We kill ourselves; Will heels and shelves
Really make us? As they break us
It’s the way we’re all shaped
To reflect upon self hate

Breaking glass with the tears
For the past ten years
And it’s tough to escape
From yourself vein for vain
Cause they bleach
The true beauty
Right out of your brain


Like paper cuts, Let the channels bleed
Because the market feeds On unmet needs
And breaks promises, Without conscience
And who cares if the ads depict violence

It’s only natural
Lies become habitual
Make me a paperdoll
Me me me a paperdoll
Cut me like a paperdoll
Just the way she’s shaped
Make me fake me fake fake
Make me fake me fake fake

I know I have to fake it
At least I’m going to face it
At least I can embrace it
I mean, it’s only natural
To be a paperdoll
Just like any paperdoll
Just like any paperdoll

The constant pressure
Laid me flat
The driving mania
Runs me ragged

The double standard tore me in half
Who wants half a paperdoll?
