Invisible Killer (Atypical Anorexia Nervosa) | ElysianSoul

Описание: The second track on my Hollow EP, Invisible Killer, is a song about atypical anorexia - a type of anorexia that means the sufferer may be a normal weight, or not fit the general criteria of typical anorexia nervosa.

It's an incredibly suffocating mental illness, which I've experienced first hand. Others tend to refuse to believe you have anorexia or offer you any help, based solely on the fact that you're not underweight.

Lyrics:

Invisible killer,
Living deep within you,
Nobody believes it,
Or understands.
A harrowing shiver,
Looking in the mirror,
You ain’t getting thinner,
Like you planned.

Lamb to the slaughter,
Invisible disorder,
Head underwater,
A state of numb.
It’s a perfect torment,
Forever you’ve sought it,
Always falling short and,
Coming undone.

A state of numb,
You’re coming undone.

The demons in control,
They tell me, ‘lie low’,
Wait until you’re all bones,
You’ll be walking on air.
No matter what you say,
Only care what you weigh,
You try to set them straight,
And they just don’t care.

‘Cause you have to be bleeding,
Kicking and screaming,
For others to believe,
That you’re not okay.
Normal on the outside,
Dying on the inside,
Ashamed by my body size,
Every day.

‘Prove that it’s real’,
Got to show you how it feels,
Getting sicker to reveal,
What’s going on in my head.
I’ll find some validation,
Through emaciation,
It ain’t starvation,
‘Til you’re on your death bed.

A state of numb,
You’re coming undone.
Invisible killer,
Living deep within you.

The demons in control,
They tell me, ‘lie low’,
Wait until you’re all bones,
You’ll be walking on air.
No matter what you say,
Only care what you weigh,
You try to set them straight,
And they just don’t care.

‘Cause you have to be bleeding,
Kicking and screaming,
For others to believe,
That you’re not okay.
Normal on the outside,
Dying on the inside,
Ashamed by my body size,
Every day.

The demons in control,
They tell me, ‘lie low’,
Just wait until you’re all bones,
You’ll be walking on air.
I’m normal on the outside,
I’m dying on the inside,
Dying on the inside.

Walking on air,
When you get there.
Walking on air,
When you get there.
