To Objectification from Ode to by Small Wars Journal

Lay me down and chalk me up as a subject of desire
See me there and walk right up, as though I'm worth your while
Being grateful's not so breezy, when your painfully aware
Of how to discern between what's good or bad or when to even care

Sucked into a frame of mind, sucked into a frame of mind since day one
Be pretty before you're kind, be yours before I'm mine, since day one
Sucked into a frame of mind, sucked into a frame of mind since day one
Be pretty before you're kind, be yours before I'm mine, since day one

Normally my thoughts align with feelings of flattery
To be heard and not seen first is now the goal that I foresee
Feeling stable is now easy, because I'm pleasantly aware
And it's clear now who is good and bad and the reasons I should care

Sucked into a frame of mind, sucked into a frame of mind since day one
Be pretty before you're kind, be yours before I'm mine, since day one
Sucked into a frame of mind, sucked into a frame of mind since day one
Be pretty before you're kind, be yours before I'm mine, since day one
