this melody flows from her lips
As crimson flows from fingertips
Onto the keys white and pristine
Corrupted with her heart
She only wanted to be beautiful
But this life has denied her soul
And so she slips back into dark
Never to be seen again

Maybe its time to believe
In everything someone can be
Look beneath the pretty eyes
And golden skin and perfect lies
Flaunted all they want to be

When truth shines oh so easily
Why cant everyone just see
There's more to life than this fake beauty

Don't be afraid to show your style
Those who understand are
The ones who make it all worth while
So don't let go of them
If Trust is something you cant do
Then i hope someday you'll find
Radiating honesty
To match that inner light

The symbols carved in my flesh
Show deeper than i would wish
And every time they catch my eye
I cant still feel the pain
I fought my way back up here
Through hate, lies and the tears
I hope i never sink that low
And if i do I'll let you know

Cause you've been more
Than i ever could have hoped for
Why would someone like you
Grace someone such as me?
I'm the lowest of the low
i know
Or so it sometimes seems
But you gave me strength to believe

So i wont be afraid to show my style
Those who understand me are
The ones who make it all worth while
So i wont let go of them
Trust is something i cant do
but i hope someday I'll find
Radiating honesty
To match your inner light

And as i play this song again and again
From my eyes drip this sin
From these eyes flow translucent emotion
Washing away the hurt i bleed
that once stained this piece of me
i know i can be beautiful
if i just believe

this melody flows from my lips
this music from my fingertips
as gracefully my hands play these notes yet again
these keys so white and so pristine
play more than i could ever mean
this moment i hope we never lose, my friend
even though i know this just may be the end

Don't be afraid to show your style
Those who understand are
The ones who make it all worth while
So don't let go of them
And don't let go of me
If Trust is something you cant find
You'll always have a bit of mine
Then i hope someday you'll find
That undying inner light
