Warpaint Songtext

von Libitina

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.

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.
