make up is fake

you dont need it!

please trust me!

i know the mirror lies 

i get it...you despise how you look 

i know life has shook you

this idea of what you want to be 

its..its not right..

youve been sitting around remarking on things 

youve had an over arking idea 

an idea that you dont look good enough 

all this stuff you have on 

makes you look like youve made up your life

these things raid your mind 

at this point your blind to your self 

you dont even know what you are any more 

niether do i...i guess you seccseeded in that 

you need to wake up from the make up 

take back your mind 

you dont lack a pretty face 

stop arming your mind with a fake since of defence 

your inner self repents that you do this 

cover girl covers real girls 

the pearls you have on are fine 

but when you look at the masscara running down your face 

do you think of how you replace you?

times to be hounest 

the rerason you think your ugly 

is because you bit your own hooks 

the hooks are what youve become 

you cast your self out 

you exepted your own down fall 

your now what you tryed so hard not to be 

you let it be your gaurd you defied your self 

if you crack a wall nut whats to be under it? 

what every one wants is under it!

when you take thunder from rain whats there?! 

the thing every one needs

when you take off the eye liner 

the "foundation" and the lip stick 

WHAT DO YOU REALLY HAVE???!!!

you have the real wallnut!

you have the real rain no matter the pain!

you have the real you!!

when you reel in your hooks and bait...

and stop the self hate...then but only then...we will talk...
