The Voice of Anorexia - Decadence and Disorder

This is a song I wrote about Anorexia Nervosa. It was originally a poem, but I decided to adapt on it.

I care about the lyrics, not my ability to sing.
Enjoy :)

Lyrics:

Don't start off slow and steady, give it everything you've got,
If pain strikes in a bullet then I swear, I'll take the shot,
A sincere sense of mar Deus, so sweet and calorific,
Success within the mirror makes your body paralytic.
Let me make a guess, you feel you've lost your sense of hope?
And you feel that no-one's present when you're struggling to cope?
You have a futile strategy - you tell yourself you're 'fine',
Well honey, ditch that method! I promise you'll like mine.

My promises are hollow, so fill them in yourself,
'Cause on your own, another stone might jeopardise your health.
I promise darling, stick with me! I'll steer you clear of greed,
Now stick your fingers down your throat and vomit 'til you bleed.

What's the use in trying when you know you're going to fail?
My love, if you obey my rules I'll see that you prevail.
Abandon those who care for you, I'll love you like no other,
My vulnerable, my prey, my significant other.

My promises are hollow, so fill them in yourself,
'Cause on your own, another stone might jeopardise your health.
I promise darling, stick with me! I'll steer you clear of greed,
Now stick your fingers down your throat and vomit 'til you bleed.

'Cause you're the darkest star within the galaxy of life,
Remove the fork and spoon and all you're left with is a knife,
The knife that juts your shoulder blades and tears between your bones,
Creates the sighing of your ribs, your face the sallow tones.
Your vision's blotchy, blurred and blank,
You try to understand,
Shiny walls, an IV drip, a needle in your hand?
Your body feels concave within, your heart's a stubborn pound.
What's this? You won't get thin this way, get up and run around!

My promises are hollow, so fill them in yourself,
'Cause on your own, another stone might jeopardise your health.
I promise darling, stick with me! I'll steer you clear of greed,
Now stick your fingers down your throat and vomit 'til you bleed.

"You promised me your love, you promised every day,
Instead you made my life run cold, my body waste away."
A promise is a promise, and now I shall comply,
And so I took her final breath and left her there to die.
You want it all, you've got it all.

My promises are hollow, so fill them in yourself,
'Cause on your own, another stone might jeopardise your health.
My promises are hollow, so fill them in yourself,
'Cause on your own, another stone might jeopardise your health.
I promise darling, stick with me! I'll steer you clear of greed,
You want it all, you've got it all, I'm everything you need.

A promise can be delicate, adherence is the key,
To compose a prose that others' chose, is tricky you'll agree.
The elation from starvation is a death without remorse,
My psychotic painted promises will render you a corpse.

I love how you wrote from the point of view of ana. That's what you were doing right? At least in certain parts

[elysiansoul]

@CrazyXLoverXGirl Yeah. It kinda switches between the anorexic mind and the normal mind, I guess it represents how sometimes it can merge into one voice and you can become it yourself.
