about

Haunting and darkly poetic ballad, written and performed by EMBERHONEY, the song was inspired by the tragic death of singer Karen Carpenter who in trying to conform to media-driven standards of physical perfection, was driven to be a 'model of discipline'.

Recorded Live at Honeytone Recordings UK.

lyrics

Model of Discipline (LIVE)

Music and Lyrics © 2018 Taylor Madison Damion

Less is more, if you’re a girl
Something worth dying for in a looking glass world
An empty dress the measure of her success
She’s another femme fatality

She’s the model of discipline
The model of discipline
And no one knows what to say
She’s wishing herself away

She's hypnotised body and soul
The cameras eyes have taken control
How she tries to be like her heroine
Nothing to criticise thin as a manikin

She’s the model of discipline
The model of discipline
And no one knows what to say
She’s wishing herself away

Heroine chic self control freak
Less is more if you’re a girl
Living in this messed up world
Skin and bone 'just one more stone' she'll say

She's wishing herself away
And no one knows what to say
To the model of discipline
