.beauty.is.only.skin.deep?.

If beauty is on the inside, would you tear through my skin to find it?

Drag a blade and peel back the exterior

The hundreds of layers that conceal

The amount of true beauty i have

Or is it the face, the facade that you really want?

The brightness of the eyes, the amount of tender flesh

The way it feels when the soft lips touch yours

You want the kind of beauty you can touch

And what your eyes can see, that's as deep as you'll go

Doesn't it matter that i can bring the stars to earth for you

And spell your name out across the lawn?

You know i would

All to watch the reflection of them in your eyes

Oh how i wish i could trade my inner luminosity

For a beautiful flawless shell

For perfect makeup and immaculate coating

A costume that would get me noticed

If what's on the inside that counts

You can tie me down, cut me open and count how many good things there are

Especially a love for you

You can take out my heart and project it on to a movie screen

Just so you can see i possess some beauty

Play, rewind, repeat as many times as you need

It's my proof to you

Because though i lack the idyllic skin that you seek

Ugliness is only skin deep.
