Model
"No pain, no gain"
Tears under the make-up
"Nobody cares what's in your brain,
If you are smart we'll cover it up"
Endless legs, bright smile, perfects skin
I'm breaking and I can't win
My whole body is a golden cage
I'm desperately trying to turn the page
Behind my eyelids, islands of sadness
Lights, cameras, speechless dress
My heart is as dark as my soul
It's my life but not my goal
Step after step on the catwalk I need help
Career mistake fashion model
Maybe I'm just a broken angel
Broken wings and broken dreams
Ashes of the good old days
There's just bones under my skin
Don't want to eat as always
Always wearing long dresses
Because my arms have scratches
Nation's idol, photographer's doll
But what's under the lipstick ?
One second of happiness
Three hours crying at my place
Now my appearance is everyone's else
I've just become faceless
I close my eyes, just to see the darkness
Flashes everywhere and to be honest
People love me for my appearance
People don't see my desperate dance
I'm killing myself just to get to the top
I'm an illusion, the falsity of the world
The picture behind the camera
Another fighter of the arena
No, you don't want to look like me
I'm the monster from your movie
Behind my pretty face,
There's a skull like everyone else's.
This one is pretty bad I don't really like it but it has a really personal meaning so I post it anyway
