...Don't be tempted by the shiny apple
Don't you eat of a bitter fruit
Hunger only for a taste of justice
Hunger only for a world of truth
'Cause all that you have is your soul...
--Tracy Chapman, All That You Have Is Your Soul

...Here I am
And here I stand
Here in my kitchen where I'm familiar with every brand
Here I am
A front line with labels where I witness custards last stand
Here I am...
--Catatonia, Bulimic Beats

...did I ever tell you how I stopped eating
when you stopped calling me
i was cramped up
and shitting rivers for weeks
and pretending that I was finally free...
--Ani DiFranco, Independence Day

...I hear you're losing weight again Mary Jane
Do you ever wonder who you're losing it for...
--Alanis Morissette, Mary Jane

...Hunger hurts, and I want him so bad, oh it kills
Cuz I know I'm a mess he don't wanna clean up
I got to fold cuz these hands are too shaky to hold
Hunger hurts, but starving works,
When it costs too much to love...
--Fiona Apple, Paper Bag

...You are digging for the answers
Until your fingers bleed
To satisfy the hunger
To satiate the need
They feed you on the guilt
To keep you humble keep you low
Some man and myth they made up
A thousand years ago...
--Melissa Etheridge, Silent Legacy

...Skinny
And it will make you cry
Skinny
And it will make you lie
Skinny
And if it makes you soft inside
Skinny
At least you will not die...
--Filter, Skinny

...how 'bout stopping eating when I'm full up
how 'bout them transparent dangling carrots
how 'bout that ever elusive kudo...
--Alanis, Thank U

...that I would be good if I got and stayed sick
that I would be good even if I gained ten pounds...
that I would be loved even when I numb myself
that I would be good even when I am overwhelmed...
--Alanis, That I Would Be Good

...I would starve myself and still it would not come...
I would stuff my face and still it would not come...
--Alanis, Would Not Come
