Oh sweet child,
Give me your best poker face
One void of any emotion
Show the world
that there's a walking doll

As you try to conceal
that heat beneath your eyes,
the air crackles in your wake
your seductive scent lingers
with that alluring aloofness

Why won't you do it right?

Tell me now how you see yourself

"I saw her in the mirror
Our eyes clashed
She was but a nightmare in clear sight
My blood boiled with hatred
Even the slightest hint of beauty
turned molten
Hideous, terrifying, disgusting
there was nothing else,
nothing left to be seen"

Turn back around now love
look carefully into those eyes
see how pitiful they are
You broke your own heart
over and over
cursed yourself to the devil
and ****** the light to beyond.

You did it child,
You dirtied your hands

Nothing can hurt you now
not when the worst is done
not when the worst is felt
not when the worst is seen
not when it is known
not when it's been inflicted
and concealed

We know love,
we know all about it
about that experession that you show
and the secrets that you hide

No one will know,
no one else can hurt you
no one sweet sweet child.
