Wipe off the makeup, let down the hair.
Take off my clothes, til everything's bare.
Dig under the flesh, dig under the bones.
Lock myself in a room, make sure I'm alone.. and let it all go...
I need to find myself, my passion and my pride.
To do what fits me best, other opinions aside.  
All of my life i lived to impress, they told me what to love,  they told me how to dress.
But I'm taking it all off, you can laugh and you can scoff.
But ill learn to be happy on my terms this time, I'll make myself proud, I'll make this life mine.
So dig under the flesh, dig deep in my heart.
Cut me down with your words but I won't fall apart.
Shocked? I thought you would be,
Cuz all of my life i hid behind jealousy.
But of what? The fake mask of beauty we call makeup?
But its time for my soul to wake up.
To find happiness in the nature of me, naked and alone, but I'm finally free.
For this is the closest to myself I've ever been.
My soul smiles and says "It's nice to see you again"
And I find myself smiling back... It's good to be home.

He didnt listen to a word i said.

And i don't think i listened to a word he said.

We were both just talking to hear our own voices

Organized religion, but believe you're not a cult.
Follow your priest blindly, if he misguides it's all your fault.
You should know better and follow a clean path,
Got blood on your hands? take a holy bath.
Sin, forgive, sin, forgive, the cycle that brings you back.
If you **** thy neighbor, "god" will pickup your slack.
The world around you is going to hell,  but you? you're special on your high horse.
Judging the sinners and ******, showing them no remorse.
Real godly huh, kicking em while they're down.
Hoping that tough love is what will finally bring em around.
And what's your proof, that this god saves.
For the only ones who truly know lay silently in their graves.

You
I'm speechless
Because everything I ever wanted
Is right in front of me
Wrapped inside one body

Do you understand my frustration
Or should I hand you a pile of ash
To crumble to pieces in your hand
To demonstrate what my life is doing.
Life lost frustration ash

You know, I've always contemplated suicide, thru my whole life it seems. But really all I want is to be dead to people so I can finally live.
Death suicide live breathe depression freedom

I cross my heart and hope to die.

That's what you said...

Cross your heart and hope to die
That you would never leave me.

But I'm the one left standing here, hoping to die.

For its MY heart that you have crossed.
