Postcards from the Last Day on Earth - We Were Never Beautiful

We were never beautiful
We were always damned
We were never beautiful
We were never in demand
I've been here before
I know the lies that'll tell myself once more
I always close
Every open door
I wish I could get out of this place
God only knows how much I miss your face
I can feel my BP getting higher
Stuck in this room with a parasitic liar
You always had my back
Against the stupid and the vain
But I don't know
If I can do this again
Suffer in silence
They'll call you a martyr
Shout it from the rooftops
Inviting disaster
You can't fight this anymore
You can't fight this anymore
We were never beautiful
We were always damned
We were never beautiful
We were never in demand
I wish I could get out of this place
God only knows how much I miss your face
You escaped the lynching mob
Just to face the firing squad
I wish that it was all it was
A lying tour-de-force
No empathy and no remorse
I tried to dear down
The fourth wall
But when I stared into your eyes
There was nothing at all
No reflection, no light and no sound
But I will always love you, I am honour bound
