rev draft (I) 24/5/09

vanity obession turns to insanity
crinkle-cut fries for eyeliners, tomato ketchup for lipsticks
porcelain faces plastered, oh what a shame
a toddler points to her pout, "teehee, a cake on your face!"

we've tried too hard to mask our ugly selves
still, under the blistering sun
the layer crack and cackles
revealing the stranger behind the mirror

is this how you want to deceive, is this how you want to lie
so tell me who the fuck are you trying to fool?
tell me what the fuck have you put your heart into?

every sunrise i hear the neighbourhood birds chirp
opening my shit-filled eyes , staring at the blank ceiling
i mumble to myself
who do i want to try to be today?
