New colors forever shifting and shining
Every time I look
I stand in awe
That skin so soft and inviting
Could be the example
Of what the world wants
And yet on the inside there is nothing
Just a hollow shell
Something we can never fill
Although we keep pouring in
The vessel is always empty
I've heard tell that beauty is skin deep
So how hollow must be the shell
That contains all that outward beauty
That inwardly can never be filled
I walk amongst the corpses
All radiant and pure
But one gaze into their soulless eyes
Shows a human that's never full
Their hunger is never satiated
They're driven to consume all
In the end though it's for nothing
Because they will always be an empty shell
Real beauty comes from within
And that inward light radiates out
Glowing through that thin shell
For all the world to see
Yet as I look on society
It becomes readily clear
That there are many beautiful people
Who will never have a light to bear
