lyrics

She was once a hairless girl
Swept and bare she was bereft
Of anything but bitterness
And lies of theirs she’d swallowed whole
Those myths of form that follow suit
She wanted to be seen as beautiful

Many wigs she’d wear to school
And children tossed them off like fools
They made her fetch her bone to bear
Her head lacked all they had to wear
But soon they’ll see me as I would
For me to be the star of my own dreams

One day they’ll see
Beauty in me
The cheers to be my lullaby
I’d love to lie
In solitude once more

Many years of smiling glass
The treetops gliding gently past
The windowpanes protest at least
My winning smile is false to me
My eyes and hair and heart to be
The person I had dreamed of me

A golden-haired beauty queen
I pray my name to fall asleep
They made me fetch my bone to bear
A thicket in the woods so fair
I’m not the type for looking back
But i hear the crowds mouthing my name

One day they’ll see
Beauty in me
The cheers to be my lullaby
I’d love to lie
In solitude once more
