We’re all a beautiful mess, aren’t we?
Look at us; look where we are now.
Honey, I peer into your eyes and I can only
see
The haunting linger of a happy memory
The ghost of a smile still plays on your lips
Thin and wasted from all your bitter grins
The circles around your eyes have darkened
The light in your eyes is gone
I could have simply asked how you were
That fear would crawl back into those glassy
orbs
The tension would be thicker than blood
“How are you?” turned into, “Where have
you been?”
“Hello,” turned into, “You’re still
here!”
“Goodbye,” turned into, “Will I ever see
you again?”
The answer will forever be unknown.
Somewhere in our perfect lives
The chaos still ensued
Reality caught up with us
It hurts us like the drugs and parties could never
do
Somewhere in our ecstasies we died along the
way
We pull on our plaster masks made of makeup and
alcohol
Our faces are caked with tears and secrets
Our arms are caressed with the kisses of
knives
Our perfect bodies shriveled and burned
The once smooth and blushing skin was flayed
Our minds were killed the same
We are all a beautiful mess, aren’t we?
Look at us; look where we’re at now.
That’s your name up there; here’s
mine.
Our desperation for fame finally came around.
We will never be forgotten,
As we are lowered in the ground.
We’re all a beautiful mess, aren’t we? Look at us;
