Lyrics
The tyranny of beauty, the beauty of tyranny;
Punishment for vanity, refutation of purity
Like a medusa turned to stone, they let you know that you’re alone
When you’re running to the door, when you can’t fucking get up and you’re lying on the floor
Because all life is a disease, and watch it bring you to your knees
Cuz you just wish that time would freeze, but you’re a dying star, a fading light, you’re begging and you plead
Maybe she’s born with it, maybe it’s bourgeoisie
A lifetime of maintenance on the facade of me
I’ve been conditioned to compete, and I’ve been doomed to repeat
Every morning my routine, how exactly do I measure up and just who should I be?
Life is a constant compromise, an endless contest with no prize.
Do you mind if I close my eyes? Cuz there’s this part coming up where the phoenix doesn’t rise
And I don’t want you to see me cry, it’s the shame of being in decline.
It existed long before me, so why do I feel this guilt for not being able to break out of this prison that you built?
There’s a stranger in the mirror and she’s getting stranger every day.
