lyrics
------

chorus
------

do you like my masquerade?
and do my highlights look ok?
is that a spot on my forehead?
please don't say this look is dead

verse 1
-------

bulimic to compliments,
my self esteem is up for rent.
youth of age, vendetta high,
the tub of wax that holds my pride
is empty,
is empty.

bridge
------

the look you want is always the look that you just can't have,
the look you want is always the look that you just can't have,
the look you want is always the look that you just can't have,
the look you want is always the look that you just can't have.

interlude
---------

it's bound to last,
late night, on-the-pull crisis.
you wanna know who i really am?
under-achieving, wannabe paragon.

verse 2
-------

there's no point in wanting more,
when there's nowhere left to score.
i'm a victim of my time,
i'll hang myself up on the line
to dry,
to dry.
