Make Up
Blood print stains on the floor of a powdered roomCracks in the mirror starting to show too soonMascara lines streaming down her faceHer cocaine lipstick smile is such a waste
On the floor, she's almost deadShe remembers the words that her father once said
No, you don't need make up to cover your face, loveYou're beautiful now, within and without, be good to yourself, you're doing me proudNo, you don't need make up to cover your scars upYou're beautiful now, within and without, and never forget you're doing me proud
She's locked up in a prison made of thoughtsShe puts no worth on anything she's got'Cause no one believes that she was born this wayAnd heaven knows that God don't make mistakes, no
On the floor, he's almost deadHe remembers the words that his father once said
No, you don't need make up to cover your face, loveYou're beautiful now, within and without, be good to yourself, you're doing me proudNo, you don't need make up to cover your scars upYou're beautiful now, within and without, and never forget, you're doing me proud
He's beating himself up before he's even leaving the houseHe's driving himself nuts, in case we're finding him outYeah, he knows what society thinksWhen they see this man dressing so pretty in pinkHe's always loved to play dress upBut daddy's got something to say"You're not a screw up, boy, no more hiding away"But she's a queen in the skin of a kingNever happy who she is, that's the saddest fucking thing, yeah
No, you don't need make up to cover your face, loveYou're beautiful now, within and without, be good to yourself, you're doing me proudNo, you don't need make up to cover your scars upYou're beautiful now, within and without, and never forget, you're doing me proud
Oh, if like someone who smears your lipstickAnd keeps your mascara dryIf somebody's got you cryingMake sure that they tease your joyNo, you don't need make up
