We buy bags and shoes for money that could feed us for weeks We use Botox and scalpels to fix our imperfections We never leave the house or the room without checking our reflection or taking a selfie We make sure there’s never a hair out of place or a flaw to be seen We are the lost generation Our appearances are nothing but shells But that’s fine No one ever sees the empty insides We are the lost generation We are empty inside But we don’t care All we have ever wanted All we have ever craved is to be beautiful corpses

Beautiful Corpses
We buy bags and shoes for money that could feed us for weeks We use Botox and scalpels to fix our imperfections We never leave the house or the room without checking our reflection or taking a selfie We make sure there’s never a hair out of place or a flaw to be seen We are the lost generation Our appearances are nothing but shells But that’s fine No one ever sees the empty insides We are the lost generation We are empty inside But we don’t care All we have ever wanted All we have ever craved is to be beautiful corpses
