Make Up

Blood print stains on the floor of the powder room

The cracks in the mirror are starting to show too soon

Mascara line streaming down her face

Her cocaine lipstick smile is such a waste

On the floor, she's almost dead

She remembers the words that her father once said

No, you don't need make up

To cover your face, love

You're beautiful now within and without

Be good to yourself, you're doing me proud

No, you don't need make up

To cover your scars up

You're beautiful now within and without

And never forget you're doing me proud

She's locked up in a prison made of faults

She puts in worth on anything she's got

'Cause no one believes that she was born this way

But heaven knows that God don't make mistakes, no

On the floor, he's almost dead

He remembers the words that his father once said

No, you don't need make up

To cover your face, love

You're beautiful now within and without

Be good to yourself, you're doing me proud

No, you don't need make up

To cover your scars up

You're beautiful now within and without

And never forget you're doing me proud

He's beating himself up before he's even leaving the house

He's driving himself nuts, in case we're finding him out

Yeah, he knows what society thinks

When they see this man dressing so pretty in pink

He's always loved to play dress up

But daddy's got something to say

"You're not a screw up, boy, no more hiding away"

But she's a queen in the skin of a king

Never happy who she is, that's the saddest fucking thing, yeah

No, you don't need make up

To cover your face, love

You're beautiful now within and without

Be good to yourself, you're doing me proud

No, you don't need make up

To cover your scars up

You're beautiful now within and without

And never forget you're doing me proud

Oh, find someone who smears your lipstick

And keeps your mascara dry

If somebody's got you crying

Make sure that they're tears of joy

(No, you don't need make up)
