Beauty in the Beast
You think you're pretty
You know it's true
But I see something else in you
You think you're pretty as can be
The boys all fawn
The girls all scream
Such superficiality
For this is what I see:
Cruelty shining in your skin
Malice glistening in your grin
Condescension in your eyes
Pursing lips filled with despise
Shallow mind and shallow heart
Pieces missing from the start
Worthless, tawdry piece of art
That is all you are.
I know my dear you think it's true
Your prettiness will get you through
You think you're pretty as can be
But stop looking in the mirror:
You'll see what I see.
