about

sometimes body dysmorphia hits a lil different and u want to become someone (or something) else

lyrics

do you ever wonder why
i only show up in blurry photographs
why i feel i have to hide,
when others’ perceptions give me panic attacks

so when i am out i’m out behind trees
i’ll hide in the forest where i can be free
maybe to you it sounds a little strange

but maybe i can’t be
a supermodel skinny, kinda pretty girl
maybe i wanna be
a cryptid, maybe i don’t wanna exist in this world
when everyone’s comments turn into scars
when everyone lies and says be who you are
what if i wanna be a cryptid
maybe my ideal body is bigfoot's

do you think that i’d still hate my body
if i grew wings and disappeared into the sky
i don’t think anybody’s words would matter
when i could swoop down and kill them from 30 feet high

so when i feel sad i’ll screech in the night
confuse all my neighbors or give them a fright
then wonder why they think i’m a little strange

maybe i can’t be
a supermodel skinny, kinda pretty girl
maybe i wanna be
a cryptid, maybe i don’t wanna exist in this world
when everyone’s comments turn into scars
when everyone lies and says be who you are
what if i wanna be a cryptid
maybe my ideal body is mothman’s

lately i’ve been putting the cry in cryptid
wishing i could melt into swamps
beady red eyes can’t see beauty standards
and stealing someone’s skin would hide all my flaws

maybe i can’t be
a supermodel skinny kinda pretty girl
maybe i wanna be
a cryptid, maybe i don’t wanna exist in this world
when everyone’s comments turn into scars
when everyone lies and says be who you are
what if i wanna be a cryptid
maybe my ideal body is mothman’s
