Girls that glitter love the dark |
|
We lace it through our bitter, black little hearts |
|
And then we feign surprise when we see |
|
That those we've loved to love have seeped |
|
Into our poisoned blood |
|
Girls that glitter deceive death |
|
We thread ourselves through innocent flesh |
|
And then we feign surprise when we see |
|
That those we've love to waste |
|
They seem to be erased |
|
Knit it through, thread it |
|
Sew it to unsuspecting flesh |
|
They won't regret it |
|
Or so they say |
|
And those you have loved |
|
Have snagged on your thorny veins |
|
But they don't regret it |
|
Or so you say |
|
Girls that glitter desecrate a kiss |
|
We break the code of happiness |
|
And then we feign surprise when we see |
|
That those we've loved have loved to leave |
|
Girls that glitter defile hope |
|
We think that love is just |
|
Tightening that sad little rope |
|
And then we open our eyes and we see |
|
Through the gash |
|
Of a fluttering eyelash |
|
We see love trying desperately to flee |
|
But you don't ever have to fear |
|
Just break its wings and it will never disappear |
|
You don't ever have to fear |
|
Just break its wings and it will never disappear |
|
Knit it through |
|
Capture it and stitch it to |
|
Your brittle little heart |
|
At least that way |
|
Love can't tear it apart |
|
Knit it through |
|
Sew it to |
|
They won't regret you |
|
And if they do? |
|
But the thing that girls know best |
|
Is that glitter covers all the ugliness |
|
And they know one thing above all the rest: |
|
Sparkle covers evilness |
|
Shimmer covers all the mess |
|
Glitter covers darkness |
|
And then came the moment |
|
When the swarm of bees drowned |
