Glitter & Gloss

There's a lot of me
Take it off
Glitter and gloss runs deep
Like a silver screen
Take me back
Show me what I failed to see

When you spell it out
You spell so mean
When you're taking me from A to Z
Are we black or white?
Or in between?
Are the figures where they used to be?

Like an empty canvas, hear me cry
Like a masterpiece, I'm in your eyes
Now your colors are in front of me
We're a picture-perfect oddity

I'm a lot like you
Pretty shape
Layered and laid in dirt
Let the blood run wild
What I feel
Show me how to make it real

When you spell it out
You spell so mean
When you're taking me from A to Z
Are we black or white?
Or in between?
Are the figures where they used to be?

Like an empty canvas, hear me cry
Like a masterpiece, I'm in your eyes
Now your colors are in front of me
We're a picture-perfect oddity

The streets are full of eyes
And they're all dressed up like they know me
But I don't mind that I'm alone
'Cause in all else aside
I think of you, how you told me
That we'll be shining in our own

Let it go to your head
They told you glamor is dead
Romance, true love is dead
Really that's what they said
Getting lost in the light
Now there's a shadow of us
Playing games in the dust
Dreams of glitter and gloss

Getting lost in the light
Now there's a shadow of us
Playing games in the dust
Dreams of glitter and gloss
