Warpaint

Glass houses shatter easily enough

And your specious houses built on the sand

Without the proper foundations shall fall

So too your castles in the air standing tall

We no longer from the same glass sup

This time there can be no kiss-and-make-up

We see you paint your eye

A mask to live the lie

To show you as someone else

Stronger than you are

We see you colour your lips

A mask to live the lie

To hide your sneer behind

The evil that you are

We see you whiten your face

A mask to live the lie

To blot out all trace of the person that you truly are

We're not toys with which to be idly played

Nor mannequins clothed in your favourite phrase

Your comments fuel more than dignity commands

And we must needs answer our pride's demands

We no longer from the same glass sup

This time there can be no kiss-and-make-up

We see you paint your eye

A mask to live the lie

To show you as someone else

Stronger than you are

We see you colour your lips

A mask to live the lie

To hide your sneer behind

The evil that you are

We see you whiten your face

A mask to live the lie

To blot out all trace of the person that you truly are

Talk about biting the hand that feeds

For your naive complaints our hearts bleed

It remains to be seen who more feels the pain

Of spiteful words spoken in vain

We no longer from the same glass sup

This time there can be no kiss-and-make-up
