Under the Makeup

What I saw didn't match what I thought I knew,
To be you....
It scared me for a moment because you really had me fooled,
Standing for something for the world to see,
Is it for show or in your heart what you believe,
Sorcery at it's best, all that glitters isn't gold,
And underneath the makeup is a lost and confused soul,
Just seeking attention and not seeking heart,
Because you and I both know that's where the healing starts,
Bending morals and values just to fit in,
Knowing undoubtedly your getting pulled into sin,
