Sea of Pearls
Sea of Pearls

The anger courses through my pulsing veins
This body isnt mine. am I going insane?
Am I sick in the brain, or are we simply all the same?
Take your brittle strength to the hell from which it came
Take your privelidge and the admiring stares
Take away my bones for all that I care
They'll ache until they break under the crushing weight
For a life so unfair, I lay in hell to wait
The doctors mind the shiny, pearly gates
Maybe we'll pass if we can asimilate
Put on the make-up, the fabricated hair
Stuffing for breasts, hiding the rest; it isn't fair
I'm strong, intelligent and charismatic
My smile is always automatic
But there are days I cannot be that girl
So talk to me tomorrow, when I can be your shiny pearl
