Please excuse the girl behind the mask.
Her heart’s broken into thousands of pieces of
Shattered glass. Behind fraudulent eyes and sugared
Lies, is a smile and a gaping hole where the adolescent
Soul should be. The doctor is in, and regrets to
Admit, that the culprit is just another harmless
Case of teenage angst. Kind of unfair, the stereotype,
The reason why the poor girl fell victim to the banal
Idea of our generation. Sell outs soliciting broken hearts
And empty dreams, to impressionable youths. Soak it
Up, soak it in. Got to stand out to fit in. Cry’s for help
Are no more then a way to get all eyes on them. America
Has spoken, and suicidal fantasies and miseries are in.
Just don’t forget to hide them behind a grin.
Pretty Girl cries, and the whole world dies inside; “Why hasn’t
She gotten it yet? You’ll never make it if you can’t play hard to get.”
Pretty Girl smiles and the whole world sighs; “She’s finally
Understood that the way to Fame is through an early grave.”
But is it right? Who cares, just pretend and you’re there.
