On the price of perfect beauty.
She undresses, in the dark
Too ashamed to see the, monster, she's become
Something fake, something numb
Just plays along, as if she's got it, all put together

She sells her lies, to the camera
And keeps on pretending, that she's fine

(Chorus)
She wants to, reflect, all that she is
But, the girl looking back, in the mirror's
Just a mannequin, now
She wants to erase, all of the stains
Hiding her tears, under, layers of porcelain
While trying to find, something real to which
She can, relate

She's afraid to, show her, face
Because they might find out
That she's not as tough as she, seems
Puts on a glass, smile
And prays she can make it, another day
Before it breaks

She sells her lies, to the camera
And keeps on pretending, that she's fine

(repeat chorus)

Oh where did she, go? Nobody home?
Just, the shell of a girl, candy-coated in, cover-up
When even her mind, is no longer, her own
Can she break, away from the, static?

She sells her lies to, the camera
In fear of the day she, fades away
She's so pretty, in plastic
Polishing the, mistakes, that she's, made

(repeat chorus)
