You took the boy out of a small town
Showered him with lavished gifts, dressed him up nice and neat
Covered up the imperfections of him
Masked his smile in lies to hide his pain
beneath
You showered him with treasures beyond his eyes could see
With diamonds, glitter, and gold
You induced him with lies and deceit
Masqueraded the intentions of secrets untold
Building him up only to tear him down
What was meant as a temple, a broken in building was found
For him to be desired by eyes beyond what sight could give
From the little boy created only a man feeling a empty life to live
Smile, pose, and capture everyone’s desire
You set the flame that fuel this fire
Hide your flaws and keep them hidden within
Only to be admired by everyone for just my skin
Sit still, look perfect, and smile when sight has seen
The hole hollowed in this man you just kept deepening
