Alexandra Riorden - Pretty Now Lyrics

Thinking of ways I've tried to change myself
Crawling for love, I'd compromise my health
I didn't know
Girl, you're gonna fall right down
Down to the ground
Doesn't look so pretty now
Goin' down down
Copy the contours of a made-up face
Look for the scars that need to be erased
Distorted vision of the feminine
Kill so much of yourself just trying to fit in
I don't belong here
I got that pretty strong
Quite early on
Could not be like everyone
Goin' down down
Who's preying on our insecurities?
Rebrand yourself to be consumed with ease
It's a machine that's runnin' on itself
When we all agree to be the clientele
I'm not the one
And I know it pretty well
Not gonna buy anything they have to sell
Where does it end?
When you can't recognize yourself
Takes one to show
That there is life outside that hell
Not goin' down down
Not goin' down down
When I look in the mirror
Wanna know that it's me
Endless pursuit of perfection
That you can't ever reach
It's a thin line
'Till you question why
Guess in a way we always find some good
'Round the old corners of my neighborhood
And now I know
I'm not gonna go right down
Down to the ground
Doesn't look so pretty now
Not gonna buy anything they have to sell
Takes one to show
That there is life outside that hell
Not goin' down down
Not goin' down down
Not goin' down down
