American Asceticism

American Asceticism
Self mutilation
Bodies massacred for men,
The New Gods.
Magazines idealize fallacies for phalluses
You’ll never be good enough

Binge, purge, cry
Worship a douche of a guy.
Binge, purge, cry, cut
Embrace the inadequacy in your gut.
Cut, cry, binge, purge
Indulge every insane urge.

Media is the New God
And your worship is still worthless.
Cut, binge, purge, cry
You’ll never land the perfect guy

Even existent gods don’t give a fuck about you
So get up off your knees
