How can beauty exist,
Beyond the human gaze?
~
For every eye that sees my charms
Another only sees my flaws
~
For every ear that believes my voice melodious
Another only believes it irksome
~
For every touch that equates my skin to silk
Another equates it to slime and grease
~
Beauty feels so ghostly;
It's there one moment and gone the next
~
But I don't want to play this game
So I wonder in the dead of night
~
If there are no eyes to see
Will they still find my charms?
~
If there are no ears to listen
Will they still think my voice is a melody?
~
If there are no fingertips to touch
Will my skin still be soft as silk?
~
The longer I think, the more I desire
This plane where no beauty can exist
~
Oh, build me this realm
That is not haunted by the ghost of beauty!
~
I will carve out my own eyes
For everyone to go blind
~
I will rip off my own ears
For everyone to go deaf
~
I will burn away my fingertips
For everyone to not feel
~
Claim my spirit, God or Devil,
Whatever power can make this reality
~
I will give you anything
To dissolve this looming phantom!
~
Take everyone's eyes
Make them all blind!
~
Take everyone's ears
Make them all deaf!
~
Take everyone's fingertips
Make them all numb!
~
Fallen angel by candlelight
Wicked demon in search of sacrifice!
~
Twist our forms to make us all beautiful
Beyond the human gaze!
