Silicone Smile

if you could see passed my silicone smile
you'd understand
why i am
the way i am

if you could see passed my practiced stare
you'd understand
why i see
what i see

if you could see passed my 36-24-34 figure
you'd understand
why skin against skin
is forever forbidden

if you could see passed my golden, silky skin
you'd understand
why eternal youth is
not my destiny, but my curse

if you could see passed it all
you'd see i'm not real
i'm just a barbie doll
with a foreshadowing silicone smile
