เนื้อเพลง Dominoes - Ren

Oh, you build us like Dominoes, dominoes, dominoes falling
Oh, you build us like dominoes, dominoes, dominoes falling
You build us up just to knock us back down
Funny, how you act surprised when we hit the ground
We're like domino, dominoes, dominoes falling

So bleed me of all my self-belief
My smile shows all my insecuri-teeth
In a kingdom of photoshopped kings and queens
We'll never feel happy with ourselves
But insecurity sells

Dominoes, dominoes, dominoes falling
Oh, you build us like dominoes, dominoes, dominoes falling
You build us up just to knock us back down
Funny, how you act surprised when we hit the ground
We're like dominoes, dominoes, dominoes falling

I hide my head under the sheets
'Cause how can I face a world that ridicules the weak?
Where beauty is sold on the shelves
Forbid that we find it in ourselves
And, and now I'm broke, it don't come cheap

Oh, you build us like dominoes, dominoes, dominoes falling
Oh, you build us like dominoes, dominoes, dominoes falling
You build us up just to knock us back down
Funny, how you act surprised when we hit the ground
We're like dominoes, dominoes, dominoes falling

Ariah was the most beautiful girl in this world
She shined like diamonds and rubies and pearls
But then as soon as she turned 13
She forgot just how bright that it was that she gleamed
Stuck in a material world of magazines
That glamourize the fake and photoshopped beauty queens
Top 10 beauty tips making her feel inadequate
For the first time in her life she felt ugly

So Ariah stopped eating to lose weight
She spent her dinner money on some make up for her face
But no matter how much she'd lost
Or how much she bought
She was never good enough
Or so she thought

Ariah felt she could never be loved
She started cutting her wrists and hiding her scars with gloves
At 16, an anorexic beauty queen, she collapses in a puddle of her tears and blood
'Cause she never felt enough
She never felt enough

You sell us all this lie that we must buy to keep in touch
But we can never buy enough, never buy enough
All the riches in the world can't buy a sense of self love
Funny how you act surprised when depression levels rise
When you force feed inadequacy straight into our eyes
Television shows that praise the beautiful people
And talent competitions that just laugh at the feeble

Billboards, magazines, people turned to plasticine
Moulded like a factory, we're growing up to fear feeling ugly
It's lunacy
A knife in the community, 'cause insecurity breeds judgment
Judgment breeds hate, no unity
And hierarchy based upon aesthetics is what makes a kid in school get bullied for genetics
And I felt so ugly growing up
The way that I looked sometimes got me beaten up
I mean what the f*ck?

Sort of culture do we live in
When we're defined by the shape of our face
When we're ashamed by the size of our waist
When we're imprisoned by the form that we take
And so we keep buyin' and spendin'
That's just how this story goes
You build us up just to knock us back down
And we just keep falling...
Like dominoes
