Skin Deep

when you look 
you see nothing 
but the girl you love to hate 

to you she's just a closed book 
who's exsistance is abhorring 
to you who's nothing but great 

but when i look in the mirror 
i see a soul that is on fire 
and a girl who's willing to fight 

to get even one step nearer 
to be all she aspire's 
on the night her life ignite's 

because beauty takes you nowhere 
you end up in a heap 
of nothing but the girl 
that you used to be 

you have to be willing to bear 
that beauty's only skin deep 
you have to hand over the pearls
and get up off your knees 

because life doesn't let you weep 
and life just come cheap 
you've got to take a flying leap 
because beauty's only skin deep

Different

You laugh because i'm different 
I laugh because your not 
You sneer and say i was an accident 
I smile at something i'd forgot 

You wonder why i smile 
why i laugh and do not jest 
i guess it's just my style 
to stand out from the rest 

it's almost an addiction 
to be outside the box 
to be free of your conviction 
is to free my feet of itchy socks 

so that the cool dew from the grass 
can sink into my skin 
when summer's come at last 
freeing the child i hold within 

while you all waste in a cage 
the same in every acknowledgement 
while i raise my head on stage 

tell me 
is it still abhorrent that i'm different?

Mask

take off the mask you wear 
you fool everyone but me 
i'm screaming to be free 
i should know you just don't care 

i'm pleading for a chance 
fighting adolescense 
searching for acceptance 
but you never gave a second glance 

so i took a flying leap 
started my own revolution 
i found it's quite an addiction 
to be living on the edge 

i'm finally breathing pure air making something of my life 
too long i lived under your knife 
i've finally forgotten despair 

there is just one last thing i ask 
it won't cause you pain or strife 
just please, for once in your life 
take off the mask.
