Paint my eyes with rich black kohl Butterfly eyelashes Heavy with fakery My skin like porcelain; Every freckle masked, every expression hidden Lips stained scarlet Doll-like and wide eyed The emotion playing across my face carefully chosen To make you believe what i will you to I can keep every soul out, stay mint-condition, so to speak Only if i pretend hard enough Only if i am perfect
