a potrait of a lie

[beanpoophead]

stared across the table
saw my face in the mirror
so unclear, so cynical

maybe if i was 10 pounds lighter
she'd smile back at me
but beautiful doesn't equal happy
i think our world knows that

i'm really tired
of people saying i look so tired
i smile back and say i am
been out all weekend - partying
where lies are baked in truth
but tears are my real goodnight

the most beautiful eyes
are also my weakness
inflicted in the womb by your genes
that have brought me to my knees
begging God - please let me see
I guess this is the price i pay to pray

So cold and shaking now
I can see myself from here
doesn't it ever make you wonder
how i feel at night
when i lie awake
thinking of my mistakes

Maybe if i smiled behind my frown
my world could turn upside down
but smiles have always been faked
I think my world knows that

stared across the table
saw my face in the mirror
so unclear, so cynical

but beautiful doesn't equal happy

truer words were never spoken.

but smiles have always been faked
I think my world knows that

theres only so long before someone sees through the painted smile.

we all have our own lil worlds in a way dont we, and its amazing how everyone takes each part of their own world with them when they interpret another's. this is what makes this peice so special to me.

maybe if i was 10 pounds lighter
