All the beautiful people I'll never be Walking on these crooked paths and See right through me, I see right through you Who am I? I'm beautiful, you're beautiful. And I find it scary, we define ourselves only by words Found in every standard dictionary. What's your beauty making you a freak? Before you speak, understand, you don't need to speak That quality may only be seen, and no word can describe Why, in this world, you are perfectly unique.
Or maybe you got out of the house today, With a crippling fear that you might deteriorate If someone looked you straight in your eyes, But you're still out there, anxiety building, coasting the tides. A victory to me may be your every day life So if today all you did was get out of bed Instead of fighting a constant strife in your own head I'm rooting for you, do everything that is you.
All the beautiful people I'll never be Are just as broken, believe me We all have a closet full of skeletons. Dance with the bones, come into your own element I'm alone in a room with a circus full of elephants Juggling knives and flaming clubs, then turn them all to doves They throw peanut shells and I dance in a deadly dust Flying until I fall off this adrenaline rush. All the beautiful people, will never be me.
Just to explain a line, I have a deathly peanut allergy.
