I'm applying foundation on my face
though my skin isn't a house it puts everything in its place
Now I'm applying eyeliner to my eyes
'cause hiding the fear isn't easy without these bold black lines
And they break and they drain down my cheek with each tear
so much for those hidden fears
Blush can't hide my un-liveliness,
Gloss alone won't give me that fatal kiss
The one that's toxic, it's toxic to a blow
but at least my lips will have a gentle glow
And I pull, and I pluck the hairs
And I apply, and I powder the tears
And I tweeze, so I can please
And I apply. And I apply.
It's just a little makeup, she said.
A little touch up never hurt anyone, did it?
You hide my face, you hide my face.
But I'm a prisoner behind this mask,
and that's all it really takes.
Now I'm applying eyeliner to my eyes..
cause I can't go on throughout my day without these bold black lines.
