behind her porcelain smile
there's no joy
her reflection is foreign
the curtain drops
time to be
what they want her to be
the colorful mask
shields her
from this vanity
my beautiful flower
is what they say to me
lotus flower
behind her porcelain smile
there's no joy
her reflection is foreign
they watch this girl
so close her eyes her smile
but they dont see
her life crumbling around her feet
living off the will
of others
through there eyes dreams
she is a lotus flower
who will hold her
who will need her
who will love her
there's no joy
her reflection is foreign
the curtain drops
time to be
what they want her to be
the colorful mask
shields her
from this vanity
my beautiful flower
is what they say to me
lotus flower
behind her porcelain smile
there's no joy
her reflection is foreign
they watch this girl
so close her eyes her smile
but they dont see
her life crumbling around her feet
living off the will
of others
through there eyes dreams
she is a lotus flower
who will hold her
who will need her
who will love her
