i got all dolled up just for this adventure
with wings of wax and war paint across my nose
to look my best when you're taking my picture
i never thought i'd have to stoop so low
i'm gonna bury you under the moon
i know i'm flying too close to the sun
but that's the thing that separates me from you
i do the things that still have to be done
it smells of smoke
it burns! it burns like flame!
it makes me choke
it hurts! it hurts like hell!
the fireworks are lighting up my face
don't tell heaven just how far i fell
i tried and failed to kill my own ego
all i know is that i'll never be a hero
sorry that i hurt everything i touch
i hate that!
i hate that i hate so much
pretty people don't act so violent
pretty, pretty people sit there in silence
i want to be loved like you
should i keep my mouth shut tight too?
what does it take to be respected?
what will it take for me to be accepted?
i'm full of fury and i know it
pretty boys don't feel these emotions
i don't deserve to be seen
i am not a human being
when i rot, i'll rot alone
harmonize with marigolds
would the flowers that i grow
from my flesh and blood and bone
be loved more than i ever will?
or would i be a villain still?
tulips don't cause any harm
and daisies won't leave you with scars
if that's true, i'll die in dirt
and become one with mother earth
orchids, lilies, dahlias, hydrangeas
chrysanthemums, poppies and camellias
sunflowers and lilacs, roses too
all peppered with the morning dew

oh, father sun, oh, mother moon, the children you have made
have started teaching one another how to lie and cheat and hate
and if they hate enough, they'll take their grudges to the grave
they're learning how to kill each other faster every single day
you'll find them shadowboxing until their hands start to bleed
covet what they can't have and taking as they please
father sun, mother moon, the children have grown older
it's too late now to get the chips off of their shoulders
oh, father sun, oh, mother moon, the children misbehave!
they say it's 'cause you didn't listen when they tried to pray
and though they've grown to spite you,
still they'll sometimes call for thee
"my god, my god, why have you forsaken me?"
a rabbit, a roach, a rat, a rose
bad habits don't tend to go away on their own, i suppose
i try to prove myself to them
i lose, i lose, i lose again
i'm not exactly sure if it's worth it, though
where angel wings are clipped and souls are sold
i want to die here, i don't ever want to grow old
dogs of war don't come back the same
i'm going to die here so i never have to change
they hate people like me back home
i want to die here so i never have to go
i want to stay for eternity
i'm going to die here so i never have to leave

(pronounced like "Achilles", kah-boo-kill-eez)
shooting stars across your arms
trust me with the sacred scars
on your pristine porcelain shell
i promise i won't tell
pretty boy, i melt into you
here we'll howl at the moon
and stay up all night hoping it will howl back too
rest your head upon my clavicle
i'll hold you by my side
at least this still feels magical
at least you're still alive
they've sent you here just to take you away
and enshrine your body into the paint
of a stunning picture with colors you could taste
but worry not, we're getting out of this place
still, if worse, worse, worse comes to worst
worth, worth, worth, know your worth
for you, i'd move the sun and the moon
all the stars and jupiter and mars and neptune!
where? where? where does it hurt?
why!? why!? why were you cursed!?
i wish it were me...
you don't deserve to die so unsightly
you're bleeding, conceding
at least your heart's still beating
slowly for the moment but i'm praying you get better
i hope you never die
i hope you live forever
a newly found beauty
i want to learn how to be holy like you
so show me how you do it
don't leave me alone
please, you have to live through this!
god was on the phone but i think the call dropped
where was he when the magic had to stop?
i don't think i'll go to heaven, i don't treat others well
so just let me take your spot in hell
the scars on your porcelain
the stars on your porcelain
the scars on your porcelain skin
you said that they were opening
you said that they were opening
you said that they were opening again
