Chrysalis

From under the surgeon's knife Out comes through the other side Am I beautiful now? Does this suffice? Purple and black In lieu of the spine I lack My face, replaced Identity given away To appeal to the crowd Am I beautiful now? Does this suffice? Make me a beautiful body One they adore like nobody else Don't take your eyes off me I am the starving star Special deal, two for one Do your nose, cheeks for free Take all my money I just want to be beautiful too Never wanted to be myself So I chose to become somebody else Tell me I'm beautiful now Make me suffice Purple and black In lieu of the spine I lack My face, replaced Identity given away To appeal to the crowd Am I beautiful now? Does this suffice? We've all become mannequins Marionettes on some strings Identical carbon copies In a quest to become more beautiful
