Beauty

[Verse 1]
Lights dimming
Upon the rain-riddled fantasy
Keep moving
Only time'll guide it down into the riverflow
Waves crashing
Without a reason to rhyme your misery
Oh, too tempting
Pick up your strife and see this beauty

[Pre-Chorus]
Do you want it, really really want it?
Will you take it, come along and take it?
Wanna fake it, hide your own and fake it?
Oh, it'd taunt you until the day you break it

[Chorus]
See yourself, what's all inside that dead shell?
'Till the rotten, dying bits all within'd bloom away
By the power within me
Can't you get a hold of yourself?
Get on out there, won't you give 'em hell?
'Till you've shown 'em all every bit of you, babe
Maybe you could let me set 'em free

[Verse 2]
Maybe you could let me set 'em free
Every little triviality
Midnight, starin' at the time
Waiting for someone else
Like you can't ever move on
'Cause you're afraid of fallin'
'Cause you're too scared to live life
And you're too scared to give love
But it's love
That can overcome all of the hate swimmin' in your head

[Pre-Chorus]
If you want it, really, really want it
You can make it, baby, you will make it
Go and face it, show yourself and face it
Oh, it'd haunt you if you don't embrace it

[Chorus]
See yourself, what's all inside that dead shell?
'Till the rotten, dying bits all within'd bloom away
By the power within me
Can't you get a hold of yourself?
Get on out there, won't you give 'em hell?
'Till you've shown 'em all every bit of you, babe
Maybe you could let me set 'em -

[Bridge]
Free to see it all
Free to break the shackles you held in thrall
You'd recall
Before we met, you sat alone, rotting in that cell
You came to me, I helped you see what you ought to be
You've been so redeemed
Though you tried to hide
Know I always saw through your silly disguise
Now we see the real you inside

[Chorus]
See yourself, what's all inside that dead shell? (My pleasure and duty, to bring it to view)
'Till the rotten, dying bits all within'd bloom away (Now you're showing your beauty)
By the power within me (The power in you)
Can't you get a hold of yourself? (Now won't you show all the world who you are)
Get on out there, won't you give 'em hell? (Who you are)
'Till you've shown 'em all every bit of you, babe (Who you are in your heart)
Maybe you could let me set 'em free (Come on and shine oh so bright)

See yourself, what's all inside that dead shell? (Bring all the darkness to light)
'Till the rotten, dying bits all within'd bloom away (Your light, see your beauty)
By the power within me (The power in you)
Can't you get ahold...? (Won't you set it free?)
Get on out there... (Oh, won't you do it for me?)
'Till you've shown 'em all every bit of you, babe (Won't you shimmer so brilliantly?)
(Maybe you could let me set 'em)

[Outro]
When the shadows creep in underneath all your skin
You just shrivel 'em up with your beauty
Woah
