Beauty Queen

This is actually some song lyrics I wrote. I think I've been in a slump when its come to writing. Every time I write, I feel so incomplete. It is as if there's something missing. I haven't ever writt

VERSE 1

I flew way too close to the sun,

Not wanting to talk to anyone,

Hoping I can just run away.

 

The bright lights from yesterday,

Continue to pulse in my brain,

Like a never ending strain I can't explain.

 

PRE CHORUS

The American Dream courses through my head,

A hymn I dream about in bed.

But yet I am so far away.

Nothing gold can stay

 

CHORUS

And every time I close my eyes

It's me I see in her disguise.

Blonde hair and blue eyes,

A Barbie doll fully realized.

 

VERSE 2

The seconds pass by so slowly,

Like fragments of my memory.

The mirror is covered up in steam,

The bathroom floor so far from clean,

The consequence of being just sixteen.

 

A smile painted upon my face,

Cheeks so pink they could be fake.

I hoped it'd make me feel so good.

 

BRIDGE?

I want to feel new and be so clean

Just need another dose of Maybelline.

I want to be eighteen,

So I can be that American beauty queen.

 

CHORUS

And every time I close my eyes

It's me I see in her disguise

Blonde hair and bright blue eyes,

A Barbie doll fully realized

 

OUTRO

A Barbie doll fully realized.

A Barbie doll fully realized.

This is a great song!! But I think you should check out my poem "Society's Rules". Looks fade, hun, but your mind stays when your looks go. I really like the rhyme, though!

Some deep meaning here. The bad thing about worldly success is we come to identify with it. When it passes, as it eventually does, then who are we?
