I see all these beautiful people
Who can't seem to see
The complete, utter beauty
They be.
I wish you knew
How fucking perfect you are
You're just as beautiful as any model
No, more beautiful by far
It pains me to see this
How they believe the lie
I can't bear to see
The tears that they cry
For the most beautiful I've seen
Seem to be the most sad
It seems that this "beauty"
Has become something bad
They raise us up
To believe that beauty is bones
To believe those with beauty
Sit upon things
So they sit by themselves
With a gun and some pills
It turns out that "beauty"
Actually kills.
