Smiling is empty and poisonous
When your heart beats nothing at all
A body that's cold and contemptuous
Squeezing the life from us all
Scaring the life out of everyone
The outline of bones against skin
Nobody knows who you are
And nobody knows who you've been
Words they're coming out backwards
And nothing is making much sense
Just stare at the back of your eyelids
And wait to become past tense
Smelling of roses and vinegar
Dressed like an actress on drugs
Clothes must have cost her a fortune
But the stains say all too much
And when you look back on tonight
Maybe it will have changed
With different eyes
Try again
And I'm losing touch
Losing touch
