Decadent

Shall I give up my wings, to see the world Give up my womanhood, to stay the girl Strength overrated, or perhaps overlooked self-consciousness, highly appreciated, overbooked If we are not perfect, we're not real If we're not spotless, we shouldn't feel while you still have a dollar, Buy all you can give yourself to the nearest man Give up remnants of your self-esteem no longer bothering to dream No, not today, I will not give in I've given up too much, too soon to not feel comfort within my own skin
