False Elixir
Reflections of a mirror name me a monster
I look to the pages and envy our modern gods
Celebrity freeze frame and another trend
Veiled in sleight of hand, how we pretend
Beauty can be eternal
And the world can be yours for a regular price
A shade of youth comes easily to the foolish
A feeling of peace devoid of a sacrifice
Doctors take me for a ride
Eat this and shed your skin
Only the beautiful can survive
Resurrect my youth under the knife
Drink a false elixir, despair
Only the beautiful can survive
Outcast if you refuse to change
Hold up a mirror and now you're a monster
I've tried everything and anything to endure
But another page to turn renders me impure
I am addicted babe
But not to any drugs that you can name
Revive my flesh for a month of two
Another pawn in a grotesque game
Doctors take me for a ride
Eat this and shed your skin
Only the beautiful can survive
Resurrect my youth under the knife
Drink a false elixir, despair
Only the beautiful can survive
