In another place and another time, I could be alright;
I could carve out my dulling eyes and color them in so bright -
With a tinge of happiness to every ceramic smile,
I could appreciate the life I`m living and make it worthwhile;
And up on my pedestal, in a poise held together with lies;
I`ll tie myself together to hold onto my plastic disguise.
You carve my heart out and listen as my heartbeat slowly dies,
And you stomp it out on the ground, clenching your teeth in pure spite;
But I keep my chin in the air, I`ll break apart for you in style -
`Cuz I know I can find another you, one with better lies.
