Ugly things happen to beautiful people
But physical beauty is all that exists
Because inside you're still rotten
Like the life you've forgotten
That you locked in the closet
When you went on vacation
To a far away man
Where things weren't quite real
And where no one has feelings
You're stealing my line
When you don't care to call
Or to fall to your knees
When you know you've fucked up
And I'm left here in anger
Just seething and boiling
And hoping for you to just know what you've done
And I thought you were all along
The beautiful thing that would happen to me
But I was wrong
Because physical beauty is all that exists
If I lied to myself I could say I don't miss you
Or miss believing that your motives never were for you
And you and you
And you alone
And you
I gave you too much power to begin with
And stripped myself bare of all my defense
And you say you cant give me everything I need
And to that I say
You have no concept of what I need
The only truth you know is what I tell you
But you're so damn fucking confident
A smile for my compliment
And I just want to make you feel
The way I feel about you
You're not so innocent as you look
Or as you feel
Flesh to flesh
Affection's killing me again
And penetrating through my armor
The suit I've worn all these years
Now falls apart when you're near
I'm bleeding through
When your flowers out of season
You will have no other reason
To let me go
And be more shallow than my witch was years ago
For she still told a pretty tale
One where I don't go to hell
And made me feel most welcome
In everything that sounds like sin
And so, so much for waiting to be broken
Its too late
I have one again become the glass upon the shelf
Moving towards the edge of hell
