She stepped on, not knowing that she would see
A number she never though she'd reach
A kilogram or two, maybe three, too many
It was too hard for her to simply believe
She couldn't handle the weight
Of all the choices she made
She couldn't look away
(From the scale)
It was too heavy to take
The numbers on the scale say
She's made too many mistakes
(On the scale)
She skipped breakfast, ate rice for lunch, not too much
Her friends worried it was not enough
She ran hard during gym that day to lose weight
'Till she fainted and fell flat on her face
She couldn't handle the weight
Of all the choices she made
She couldn't look away
(From the scale)
It was too heavy to take
The numbers on the scale say
She's made too many mistakes
(On the scale)
And soon later that day
Her mother threw it away
The scale's been broken for days
(Broken for days)
Not knowing about the weight
Her daughter thought she had gained
And all the choices she made
(Thanks to the scale)
She couldn't handle the weight
Of all the choices she made
She couldn't look away
(From the scale)
It was too heavy to take
The numbers on the scale say
She's made too many mistakes
(Thanks to the scale)
Fantastically written, performed and recorded power pop. One of my favorite recent discoveries. Just great music for pretty much anyone who likes the sound of guitars (and great vocal harmonies!) ROCONIZE
Great, thrashing, melodic indie rock from this Illinois group that juxtaposes sugary vocal hooks with barbed guitars. Bandcamp New & Notable May 28, 2022
