Matte(R)

You say the way that I look doesn't really matter
But the price for flattery ain't real cheap
And neither is "chatter"

Applying, trying, beautifying
Any way to make it satisfying?
Beat faces meant for sweet embraces
If product gets into the...

Eyeing unedifying pictures
Makes me feel, every single little edgy feeling
Which are always so hard to conceal

Is it real? All of this?
Or do we fake it in the name of romantic bliss?
Subjects praying to the tantalizing kiss?

Who's that girl? Can it be?
Love for her is love for me
And I know that face

But will I know it for long?
Color must cover what doesn't belong
Decorating, radiating, validating, speculating what's right or wrong

Mmmhmm! Lips so fine!
Red as the apple from beginning of time
I'd take a bite too/two, maybe three
But is it knowledge if it's all about me?

I see the filter's all gone
Will you share your heart or keep scrolling on?
Feel like a pawn, automaton, overdrawn marathon
Smiling for the rulers of the prodigy salon
Pretty little view, it's all meant for you

I hope ya like it
Tell me what you think
About complex complexions and complicated ink

You say the way that I look doesn't really matter
But doesn't it? It really matters
