Girls That Glitter Love The Dark

Girls that glitter love the dark

We lace it through our bitter, black little hearts

And then we feign surprise when we see

That those we've loved to love

Have seeped into our poisoned blood

Girls that glitter deceive death

We thread ourselves through innocent flesh

And then we feign surprise when we see

That those we've loved to waste they seem to be erased

Knit it through, thread it, sew it to unsuspecting flesh

They won't regret it, or so they say

And those you have loved have snagged on your thorny veins

But they don't regret it, or so you say

Girls that glitter desecrate a kiss

We break the code of happiness

And then we feign surprise when we see

That those we've loved have loved to leave

Girls that glitter defile hope

We think that love is just tightening that sad little rope

And then we open our eyes and we see

Through the gash of a fluttering eyelash

We see love trying desperately to flee

But you don't ever have to fear

Just break its wings and it will never disappear

You don't ever have to fear

Just break its wings and it will never disappear

Knit it through, capture it

And stitch it to your brittle little heart

At least that way love can't tear it apart

Knit it through, sew it to

They won't regret you

...And if they do?

But the thing that girls know best

Is that glitter covers all the ugliness

And they know one thing above all the rest:

Sparkle covers evilness

Shimmer covers all the mess

Glitter covers darkness

And then came the moment when the swarm of bees drowned
