Oh Baby, Pretty Like A Car Crash

Push it a little further

The tachometer forces the scales to tip

Beauty that is so self consuming

And yet so skin deep there is not much left

Faster and faster as tires lose traction

Purchase lies sewn into modern fashion

Misled eyes that inspire destruction

How much more can your little vessel take on

Over extended and still out of reach

I can not seem to extinguish the blaze

That your body has set flame to

There is an arsonist among the architects

And you don抰 deserve this? you don抰 deserve this

Your creation has gone awry

Eyes hold back tears, but can not be torn away

This is what you have become

Because of what they say

Never to realize your true beauty

And sharp words can scar for a lifetime

Another one trying to escape the pressure

Of their perfectly painted picture

Mangled and deceived they left you in a wreck

I want to look away, just not yet

Page to page, cover to cover

Push two more back and indulge in another
