Tiger Lily
Every magazine, and every billboard
TV-specials and TV dramas
Her face is nothing more
Than a product being sold
There are only 6 things left untouched
Not a stranger to the lifestyle being owned
With every camera flash
She hollows out some more
Beauty runs deeper then skin
Carve the excess flesh from the bone
It's all temporary
Deteriorating
The emptiness eating away
Smoke and mirrors
A beautiful farce for the cameras
Take another pill
Under the knife again
Rotting through the core
Another petal falls
As we all watch on
What an aspiration
Isn't this what you wanted?
Isn't this how you made her?
When you claw, and you carve
And you maim, and you fuck your way up
Made of blood, bile, puke
Is being beautiful worth the bullshit?
Surgery and drugs, it'll never be enough
The day you finally die is the
Day the limelight leaves you
When you've carved everything away
A walking corpse is all that remains
The voyeurs react from heart
A warning before the start
Laughter and screams sound much alike
Drag everyone down
It's you or no one else
Ends up happy
Makeup and hide the blight
Ruin another life
Scar your boyfriend's wife
How long until it all falls?
As midnight draws near
The ticking quickens
From the start you knew this will end
The count begun when the bandage came off
A new model will come take your place
And your name will be left in the dust
With the curtain pulled away
Charade makes its end
All you've hidden sees the light
A name you'd left for dead
Rears around again
Who sprung a leak?
Fairest lie of all
Tabloid horror-show
Medically malformed
House of cards have to fall
Midnight calls but yet
"It won't end here"
Temporary
Deteriorating
The emptiness eating away
Smoke and mirrors
A beautiful farce for the cameras
Flushed the final pill
Knives a last resort
Rotting through the core
No more petals can fall
Have you enjoyed this?
All that's left is an eye
TV-specials and TV dramas
Her face is nothing more
Than a product being sold
There are only 6 things left untouched
Not a stranger to the lifestyle being owned
With every camera flash
She hollows out some more
Beauty runs deeper then skin
Carve the excess flesh from the bone
It's all temporary
Deteriorating
The emptiness eating away
Smoke and mirrors
A beautiful farce for the cameras
Take another pill
Under the knife again
Rotting through the core
Another petal falls
As we all watch on
What an aspiration
Isn't this what you wanted?
Isn't this how you made her?
When you claw, and you carve
And you maim, and you fuck your way up
Made of blood, bile, puke
Is being beautiful worth the bullshit?
Surgery and drugs, it'll never be enough
The day you finally die is the
Day the limelight leaves you
When you've carved everything away
A walking corpse is all that remains

All that's left is an eye
