[Verse 1]
He was ashen, ashen
With his pale, sunken face
And he had dark thoughts, dark thoughts
Mirrored in his empty gaze
And he was all alone, so alone
With the nightmares creeping in
But he’s screaming, screaming
Just dying to be thin

[Pre-Chorus]
"It must be a phase!" - their voices just blur into one
"It’s a girl’s disease!" - but oh, they couldn’t be more wrong

[Chorus]
These dark thoughts, they are my own
I fade away, right to my bones
They didn’t help
They couldn’t know
Can’t do this on my own

[Verse 2]
His body’s wasting, wasting
As he’s restricting more and more
He likes the feeling, feeling
Of being lighter than before
And he felt broken, broken
And didn’t know if he could cope
And he was falling, stumbling
With no light at the end of the road
[Bridge]
"It must be a phase!" - their voices just blur into one
"It’s a girl’s disease!" - but, oh, they couldn’t be more wrong
Stony faces, judging gazes - "why can’t you just eat?"
Just 'cause he's a man, you think his pain is obsolete

[Chorus]
Well, these dark thoughts, they are my own
I fade away, right to my bones
They'll never help
They’ll never know
I'll do this on my own

[Pre-Chorus]
"It must be a phase!" - their voices just blur into one
"It’s a girl’s disease!" - but, oh, they couldn’t be more wrong

[Chorus]
These dark thoughts, they are my own
I fade away, right to my bones
They didn't help
They couldn't know
Can't do this on my own

[Outro]
He was ashen, ashen
And he had dark thoughts, dark thoughts
And he was all alone, so alone
But he’s screaming, screaming
