In this shallow world everything has an ostentatious price.

But are you willing to pay for a single solitary vice?

Remember nothing appears to be as it truly seems.

Kneel down to pray before sealing those open seams.

Tag for one cent, you eagerly paid more than one dollar.

You weren't prepared for the filth inside the squalor.

Now. you're all strung out; caught up in his terminal disease.

Girl, was it him you so feverishly aimed to please?

Lost and lonely; he left you stranded at your very worst.

Slow down, easy now...before it's his name alone you curse.

Remember...you had your own right to make that choice.

Devil's perfect hedonist you cried out in a mousey voice.

My eyes no longer trusting the story that they've been told.

No insanely unreasonable idea has ever been so cheapy sold.

That's how the story goes when you siphon off your own worth.

Still, we undeserving creatures are routinely granted a rebirth

Not a bit more of my flesh can be devoured by unnecessary sin.

I'm ignorant enough to fall for that witless trick again.

So don't pull back the curtains or you'll only see a man.

Not an enchanted wizard giving a shiny heart to a tin can.
