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
