Letra de Dominoes - Ren

Oh, you build us like dominoes, dominoes, dominoes falling

Oh, you build us like dominoes, dominoes, dominoes falling

You build us up just to knock us back down

Funny, how you act surprised when we hit the ground

We're like domino, dominoes, dominoes falling

So bleed me of all my self-belief

My smile shows all my insecuri-teeth

In a kingdom of photoshopped kings and queens

We'll never feel happy with ourselves

But insecurity sells

Dominoes, dominoes, dominoes falling

Oh, you build us like dominoes, dominoes, dominoes falling

You build us up just to knock us back down

Funny, how you act surprised when we hit the ground

We're like dominoes, dominoes, dominoes falling

I hide my head under the sheets

'Cause how can I face a world that ridicules the weak?

Where beauty is sold on the shelves

Forbid that we find it in ourselves

And, and now I'm broke, it don't come cheap

Oh, you build us like dominoes, dominoes, dominoes falling

Oh, you build us like dominoes, dominoes, dominoes falling

You build us up just to knock us back down

Funny, how you act surprised when we hit the ground

We're like dominoes, dominoes, dominoes falling

Ariah was the most beautiful girl in this world

She shined like diamonds and rubies and pearls

But then as soon as she turned 13

She forgot just how bright that it was that she gleamed

Stuck in a material world of magazines

That glamourize the fake and photoshopped beauty queens

Top 10 beauty tips making her feel inadequate

For the first time in her life she felt ugly

So Ariah stopped eating to lose weight

She spent her dinner money on some make up for her face

But no matter how much she'd lost

Or how much she bought

She was never good enough

Or so she thought

Ariah felt she could never be loved

She started cutting her wrists and hiding her scars with gloves

At 16, an anorexic beauty queen, she collapses in a puddle of her tears and blood

'Cause she never felt enough

She never felt enough

You sell us all this lie that we must buy to keep in touch

But we can never buy enough, never buy enough

All the riches in the world can't buy a sense of self love

Funny how you act surprised when depression levels rise

When you force feed inadequacy straight into our eyes

Television shows that praise the beautiful people

And talent competitions that just laugh at the feeble

Billboards, magazines, people turned to plasticine

Moulded like a factory, we're growing up to fear feeling ugly

It's lunacy

A knife in the community, 'cause insecurity breeds judgment

Judgment breeds hate, no unity

And hierarchy based upon aesthetics is what makes a kid in school get bullied for genetics

And I felt so ugly growing up

The way that I looked sometimes got me beaten up

I mean what the fuck?

Sort of culture do we live in

When we're defined by the shape of our face

When we're ashamed by the size of our waist

When we're imprisoned by the form that we take

And so we keep buyin' and spendin'

That's just how this story goes

You build us up just to knock us back down

And we just keep falling...

Like dominoes
