Affection for Attention
by Chris D Lavigne 9:00 comesLet the transformation begin
9:30 comesFinished purging, to make sure shes thin
10:30 comesAll her preparations are complete
to make sure that shes the one who receives the most attention
when she hits the clubs with all her friends
And as long as she feels that its working
And this is how its supposed to be
Based upon the unwritten laws of society
And my phone doesnt ring
She places herself in a world where age is only thought about
If she doesnt look good in her miniskirt
And men dont buy her drinks anymore
But friends think shes still attractive enough to bring along
and she doesnt have to call anyone to go out with her
Because she wont be alone
So my phone doesnt ring
Then arrives the day
9:00 comeslet the transformation begin
9:30 comesfinished purging, to make sure shes thin
10:30 comesstill waiting for her phone to ring
11:00 comesin front of her mirror, looks face to facewith herself
sees her reflection, face as pale as death
how many years has she taken off herself
2:00 comesstill drinking by herself
3:00 comes
and my phone rings
