Fig Tree

I think I've got a tech neck, I think I'm dead inside I'm gonna buy a new scarf, a skinny one with stripes I'm gonna cover it up, is that a smile line? I'm gonna buy a new cream in 2025 How many days in between before my dates expired? How much more do I get before my looks get tired Of holding me up? Slave to the patriarch Brain like an amusement park I kinda feel sick of spinnin' in the dark Is this who we are? Life's not a fig tree, you're not made of glass Better to have creases then to never have laughed You're not a sun that's setting And you're not a tight wound, highly strung Consumer of whatever they sell you to make you feel young Your life is more than their obsession Obsession Guess I should cover my roots, can't be a silver fox How many buzz words can we fit on a pink taxed box? Give me a reason to hate myself and I'll take the lot I'm scared of needles and I wish I could just get rid Of all the lines that my smiling inner child hid Why does the world want a woman to look like a kid? You're holding me back Slave to the patriarch Brain like an amusement park I kinda feel sick of spinnin' in the dark Is this who we are? Life's not a fig tree, you're not made of glass Better to have creases then to never have laughed You're not a sun that's setting And you're not a tight wound, highly strung Consumer of whatever they sell you to make you feel young Your life is more than their obsession Obsession Choose heavy hula-hoops that swing around your stomach and leave marks Choose Pilates, liposuction, don't forget to wear a bra Choose youth, choose smooth, let lasers touch your bare skin Don't drink, don't blink, choose diet soda, thin is in Choose chia seeds and doll girl knees and supplements to straighten hair Choose running apps and post your maps, share location without care Choose to brag, become the centre of the problem that we swear Is just the system, I assist him, I know I'm not being fair I wanna choose to riot, choose to love Choose to bathe under the sun, choose to hold my mother up Choose to age like fine wine, never try to freeze in time Choose a life that is mine, I'll choose a life that is mine I'll choose a life that is mine I'll choose a life that is mine I'll choose a life that is mine Choose a life that is mine
