So real, sliding her fingers
In the blood running down my back
Running from your knife
This was a real life
This was a method of escape

The girl, in the stained skirt
Wearing bullet holes in her neck
Hiding with a smile
I was a young child
This was illusion, to deceive

Would you smile for the camera?
The dead will be in tune tonight
Stay calm, the lights will fade in time

Slit throat, in a centre fold
Bearing such a black carnal fruit
Slide into a smile
This was a means to survive

The girl, in the stained skirt
Wearing bullet holes in her neck
Has such impossible scars
Lipstick marks
On the barrel of her gun

Would you smile for the camera?
The dead will be in tune tonight
Stay calm, the lights will fade in time

I’ve cut you on piano wire
This video tape, is unfortunate
In that it wont hide your blemishes
It can’t hide this trash, become a life
I’ve got you on
The cutting room floor
When these devils scream
You don’t listen anymore

Would you smile for the camera?
The dead will be in tune tonight
Stay calm, the lights will fade in time
And if they don’t
Rest knowing
You’re as cold
And you can go…

Awesome end.
This seemed to be sort of experimental.
I loved it though.
It made me imagine zombies and darkness, and cameras. and capturing the essense of ugliness.
This is good, but I think it could be even better.

WOW! this is really neat, I also think it could be an awesome song with a cool guitar riff, if it isn't already. Nice job with the imagery and detail, I likes!
