Anna
I'm silent when I'd rather speak
 'Cause Anna's always there
 She watches me to make me weak
 With her happy stone-cold stare
 She judges every word i say
 Denying how I feel
 She stops me when I try to pray
 And tells me God's not real
 
 When I look into the mirror
 Anna stands behind
 I hear her voice, it whispers:
 "Let me help you cross the line"
 Anna eats away the hunger
 She takes away the pain
 Before I start to wonder
 When did I become so vain?
 
 Anna's there through thick and thin
 And she can promise that
 To take me down, pull me in
 It always makes her laugh
 But still, she is my one true friend
 With whom I share my strife
 She says she'll be there 'till the end
 Since I sold her my life
 
 I want to be like her, my friend
 More than anything in the world
 She's broken things i cannot mend
 As her words around me twirl
 So Anna taunts and Anna teases
 She says it's just for fun
 But my confidence, she seizes
 'Cause she will not be outdone
 
 Anna can't be lost from me
 Her grip holds way too tight
 She shows me things I cannot see
 That are hidden in the light
 And when I start to wither
 Anna grins and cheers
 Without my heat, I shiver
 And I weep with frozen tears
 
 But anna lies, sometimes she's evil
 So desperate I become
 This torture was primeval
 I didn't see from early on
 Her devil has possessed me now
 There is no other way
 Anna just laughs, she counts down
 Every single wasted day
 
 I walk and my bones rattle
 To the tune of Anna's song
 I know I'll lose this battle
 Because Anna's never wrong
 My stomach cries for something
 That I cannot be fed
 Anna pummels me in her prize ring
 With insults that burn blood red
 
 She is what I desire
 More than some face in the crowd
 Though Anna's my supplier
 Of these promises I vowed
 It's more than just my secret
 Some hope that I deposit
 To her, and she will keep it
 I'm the skeleton in her closet
 
 She wants me to be nothing more
 Some skin, calcium, and marrow
 To become the vision I adore
 And wind my mind too narrow
 I learn to like my stomach groans
 As she strips away my pride
 With cheek bones, ribcage, white hipbones
 My well-being on the side
 
 So when my body fails me
 Anna's simply too inept
 To know I hate the self I see
 That I'd rather die than to accept!
 But Anna will find another soul
 Now that I've reached my end
 Another soul who can't control
 My one and only friend
