i've never found another's mask of pain to be attractive what's the beauty worth if it's a charade of hurt and why do people insist i play their mummer's game don't inquire why my frown will not turn upside down do you really want me to force an emotion so pure i fall to my knees just thinking of it so go on and hold me down; cut me ear to ear make me join the hollow rest of you if you want to see me smile, better call me Chelsea

i choose to frown
i've never found another's mask of pain to be attractive what's the beauty worth if it's a charade of hurt and why do people insist i play their mummer's game don't inquire why my frown will not turn upside down do you really want me to force an emotion so pure i fall to my knees just thinking of it so go on and hold me down; cut me ear to ear make me join the hollow rest of you if you want to see me smile, better call me Chelsea
