Track 2:
checkout (i bought into it)
A reflection on The Beauty Myth as outlined in Naomi Wolf’s seminal work
Clare Park, cover photograph of The Beauty Myth

i dont know how to get out of it
spent my whole life in the beauty myth
obeying the rules, making her king
my idol so graciously wicked to me
i dont know how to get out of it
redirecting attention to what i can fix
a shameful obsession i wish to escape
my cart is my haven i'm willing to pay
i bought into it
found my wallet and lost my head
i bought into it
i dont know how to get out of it
forever trapped in the beauty myth
my will for power i can't contain
to focus on ‘i’ is the way to attain
i wish i could get out of it
the incessant voice perched on my lips
to see myself as more than a figure
to care so much when i'm getting bigger
i bought into it
found my wallet and lost my head
i bought into it
what will you do?
what will we see?
tenants of the planet and of our bodies.
