They say that when they’re finished she will be a work of art
They tell her as they hide behind the lie
Their promise was destroyed before the surgery could start
They scramble to persuade her not to die
They told her she was beautiful today
She shivered as she watched them walk away
They say that there’s a chance she will be well and walking soon
They tell her what they think she wants to hear
But lying on a table on a Monday afternoon
The only thing she reaches for is fear
They told her she was beautiful today
She shivered as she watched them walk away
What happened is impossible to say
She knows she isn’t beautiful today
She knows that she will never be a fucking work of art
She knows that every promise is a lie
She knows she won’t be well and walking, long before they start
What else is there to do but wait to die?
They told her she was beautiful today
She shivered as she watched them walk away
And wondered why not one of them would stay
Tomorrow is a thousand years away
She was beautiful
But that was yesterday
