All That Glitters

It's amazing what a painted smile can do Can't cover up the quiver in your frown And it's crazy how shedding tears is so taboo We only choke up when no one's around So we pour a little glitter on the coal Cause everything that glimmers isn't gold We're living in a callous masquerade An anything but honest state of grace So please please please Won't someone save me I'm starless Beneath this Temporary somber shine Just a misfit glamorized Confession I promise All this glitter's just for show Curtain up, my cue to go I would rather burn out than fade away I'm marching on to lead the fool's parade When I say it's alright, then I mean it's all wrong So fall in line Cause we're all about face So I pour a little glitter on the coal Pretending I'm a winner in control Oh, it's all for show Every day's an encore, same old song My superficial sideshow must go on. Now you know it all So here's my curtain call I'm starless Beneath this Temporary somber shine Just a misfit glamorized Confession I promise All this glitter's just for show Curtain up, my cue to go I'm starless
