lipstick on a pig

lipstick on a pig

You can put your dress on
Distract the masses view on all your physical inconsistencies
Be on a happy high for just one night
You can get him drunk
And deep inside for one moment
But the spell past midnight
Won't last all throughout the morning
Let this be your warning
When your makeup washes out
With your visible tears
Forming as emotional clouds
He sees through your pathetic facade
That you can cover up
All the monstrous forms
But glamour only exists in a photograph
A quick flash with the bright non color lights
You want only to exist in that one second
To forever be in everlasting denial bliss
But when the scene fades
From the Saturday night
Every wrong choice you make
Feels so right
But you can't cut out the ugliness
Even when you cut your veins
Blame it on your ex boyfriend
Distilling yourself in the mundane
Even if you can look and feel as something new
You'll always be the same
That sad little girl
In suburban nagging wife training
Because you can put lipstick on a pig
While your emotions cripple up inside
Draining down a bleeding heart
While maintaining your life in overbearing stubborn pride
