Beautiful

We are aiming to please

 

Ourselves.

 

We are aiming to apease 

 

Ourselves.

 

All we really do is tease

 

Ourselves

 

The standards we set for 

 

Ourselves

 

Are Outright Outrageous.

 

Girls must be models?

Guys must pop bottles?

Its like we're wearing goggles,

that were made by a culture.

It's tearing US apart like a vulture.

Cause we're chasing unmeetable standards

Wanting to have all the answers

and at the same time be "cool" and get hammered

See We're chasing success and approval

So we cover up with Masks. unremovable.

 

If only you knew God made you beautiful...
