Elmer Latorre - Keep It Natural

Fragile
Hold me this side up
It's a cycle
I get caught up in too much
Repackaged, shipped off, delivered again
Insecurities sealing me inside of a can
Gotta keep up
With the new trends
Wear different stuff
Attract fake friends
The person I am now is not enough
(Or so i thought)
If I wanna matter, I have to stop being myself)
(Wrong)
Picking at gravel stuck in my shoes
Dreaming of calm times on a cruise
Wondering what I've got to lose
If I stay the same
Dyed hair and makeup tricks
Throw your beanie out with your drumsticks
Injections to look like plastic
Ain't that a little drastic?
Use steroids
Wear a corset
Put a filter on your face just to reset
They make these things look casual
We stray from staying natural
I find myself in shadows
Fulfillment i cannot find
The sun struck me with light
I see I've corrupted my mind
It's hard to be original
When people love generic
Sometimes I feel incapable
I've just gotta share it
But it's fine
Just inhale and
Take your time
Trust your own hand
Picking at gravel stuck in my shoes
Dreaming of calm times on a cruise
Wondering what I've got to lose
If I stay the same
Dyed hair and makeup tricks
Throw your beanie out with your drumsticks
Injections to look like plastic
Ain't that a little drastic?
Use steroids
Wear a corset
Put a filter on your face just to reset
They make these things look casual
We stray from staying natural
Ripped jeans, checkered shoes, and crop tops
Steal a look, blend in, lose your shot
To be yourself in public
Stand out, unique is worth it
Pulled faces
Lip fillers
As if you don't already look killer
They poison our perceptions
Not the mold, we're exceptions
You're great as you are
No need to change
You're a star
We're all diamonds and cars
Though rough antiques, we'll go far
Great as you are
No need to change
You're a star
We're all diamonds and cars
Though rough antiques, we'll go far
To the critics
Open me up
While you pull me down
Release my soul
As my body hits the ground
It will be free
To nothing bound
Time to be myself
Dyed hair, makeup, and lipsticks
Only if that's what you really wanted
Embrace your full potential
Have fun, Be Experimental
Look into your reflection
Trust me, there is perfection
Don't let them change you at all
Just smile and keep it natural
