His Design Was Flawless
Beauty once flowed through your veins,
Now just flawed by design
The media, society, they all told you how to live
They showed you how to dress, how to walk, how to talk, how to look,
They convinced you the outside is what matters the most.
You soaked it all in,
Forced- fed the same images everyday,
All along filled with nothing inside.
Follow what they say in order to fit in
Vain is what you've became
So many nights wasted striving for that perfection
Hours you spent on your outward appearance
Still no beauty found behind those shallow eyes
Forced-fed the same images everyday
All along filled with nothing inside
Your fat, your ugly, you'll never amount to anything is what they said
Stop eating, buy makeup, wear these clothes to fit in
Vanity takes hold of another victim,
Forced-fed the same images everyday
All along filled with nothing inside
Beauty is only skin deep
Take these drugs and ignore the pain
Keep the hate buried deep inside
Just an addict, trying to fill a void,
Forced-fed the same images everyday
All along filled with nothing inside
The questions that remain,
How far would you go?
To what extent would you go to please them?
Get out why you still can
Stop to look within,
See all the filth that eats away at you,
It spreads like a cancer
Tattered and torn are your remains
Yes, you are beautiful now,
But how do you feel on the inside?
