Synthetic
Here I am at school today
Seems like nothing's in my way
Gorgeous hair and a perfect face
All done up in jewels and lace
Lipstick's on without a smudge
For fear without it I'd be judged
Underneath the makeup and airbrushed skin
There is a real girl who hides within
What would they say if they could see
All the things that make me me
When I wake up in my bed
All these thoughts fill my head
So I decide it's best to hide
All the things I keep inside
I tell myself makeup never hurt
But tears fall down onto my shirt
I wish I could leave my home
With my real self being shone
Between the high heels and perfect hair
There is still a real girl hiding there
I wish they chose me for my mind
Or even looks and thoughts combined
But they pick me for my facade
The plastic doll face that I've made
If they could see underneath this mask
They may begin to pick my last
It's all these fears that make me think
Any day now I could sink
