Swallow these tears,
that strangle your soul.
You can light the fire
but you'll always be cold.
The day is the night's accomplice,
To make this disaster.
Carve your name into hope
But you'll just die faster.
Withered skin and starving flesh
The beauty of a wh**e,
Hunger, the control took over
You're Perfection's Only Flaw.
The acid fills your mouth,
Spilling through your teeth.
Infected your own life
From what you kept beneath.
Your bones rip through
Your sick, pasty skin.
You wanted control
But you'll never win.
Withered skin and starving flesh
The beauty of a wh**e,
Hunger, the control took over
You're Perfection's Only Flaw.
Lost in your lies.
Created your demise.
In beauty's deception,
You've lost perfection.
Withered skin and starving flesh
The beauty of a wh**e,
Hunger, the control took over
You're Perfection's Only Flaw.
