[Verse 1]
They don't wanna hear me shout
Took a pill for my doubts
Breathe in, breathe out
Nothing in my eyes, so I smile with my mouth
[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh, she's insecure
But she's got money in her pores
Ooh, we'll never find a cure
Why should we pretend anymore?
[Chorus]
Champagne in my veins
Bleach soaking into my brain
This city's making me crazy
But they say pretty is pain (Is pain)
Gold chains and blood stains
Good girls cover their shame
It's really making me crazy (Crazy)
But they say pretty is pain (Is pain)
[Verse 2]
If I took another shot
Would you tell me that I’m hot?
I’m lookin' at myself over my shoulder
Will anybody love me when I’m older?
[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh, she’s insecure
But she’s got money in her pores
Ooh, we’ll never find a cure
Why should we pretend anymore?
[Chorus]
Champagne in my veins (Champagne)
Bleach soaking into my brain (My brain)
This city’s making me crazy (Crazy)
But they say pretty is pain (Is pain)
Gold chains and blood stains (Blood stains)
Good girls cover their shame (Their shame)
It’s really making me crazy (Crazy)
But they say pretty is pain (Is pain)
[Post-Chorus]
Am I pretty? (Ooh)
I feel so shitty (O-o-ooh)
Am I pretty? (Ooh)
I feel so dirty (O-o-ooh)
[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh, she’s insecure
But she’s got money in her pores
Ooh, we’ll never find a cure
Why should we pretend anymore?
[Chorus]
Champagne in my veins (Champagne)
Bleach soaking into my brain (My brain)
This city’s making me crazy (Crazy)
But they say pretty is pain (Is pain)
Gold chains and blood stains (Blood stains)
Good girls cover their shame (Their shame)
It’s really making me crazy (Crazy)
But they say pretty is pain (Is pain)
[Post-Chorus]
Am I pretty? (Ooh)
I feel so shitty (O-o-ooh)
Am I pretty? (Ooh)
I feel so dirty (O-o-ooh)
[Outro]
Champagne in my veins
Bleach soaking into my brain
The city is making me crazy
But they say pretty is pain

A January 2019 PAPER article quoted Terror saying:
It’s painful chasing something that inherently can’t last… But we all do it… And we shame ourselves for it… The never-ending cycle of vanity and fuckery… Rinse and repeat.
