TW: Mentions of eating disorder, abuse, implied self harm and suicidal thoughts (this is about Mom once again)
Oh she bent and turned
Like a flexible action figure,
People liked to look at her
And the more they played,
The more damaged she got.
Dust collecting under her eyes
Her mind, her head, filled with lies
She scratched off her outer layer of paint on her arms and legs
And tried to stop herself from working anymore
Little action figure, how many languages do you know?
Did your father treat you badly?
Is that why your arm is glued together, cause we know...
Little action figure, how smart are you?
You can hide away, and take them with you,
You constantly compare yourself to the top girl
She is the beauty queen of the fashion world.
You wish for a little doll to love you back
Like you do
(Like you do)
Mirrors become distorted as thoughts fill your plastic brain
Skinnier and skinnier, there is no weight gain
For an action figure, it's on the inside, your existential crisis is tough to let others know
"If I am skinny, will you love me" so...
Little action figure, do you crack under the stress
Handling a job, family and sexuality can't be easy
