Benedict Cork - Beauty Queen Lyrics

Wish I could sleep a little while
It's 3am, I'm hanging out with the voices in my mind
Tell me where do I begin
I'm always in this silent war with the body I live in


Get all dressed up to go nowhere
For strangers on the internet
To tell me just how beautiful I am


The curtain falls and I'm still f*cking lonely,
It's like I'm tryna make the whole world love me
But when they call me beauty queen,
It'll fix this broken part of me,
Yeah I just want the audience to want me,
Until the whole world,
La la la la la la la la loves me
La la la la la la la la loves me


I find magic in applause,
But then the silence comes around, it's just me and these four walls,
And the walls they're closing in,
Maybe I should leave this town, pack up and start again.


Get all dressed up for something new,
To hide my scars the way I do,
I'd put make-up on my heart if I could.


The curtain falls and I'm still f*cking lonely,
It's like I'm tryna make the whole world love me
But when they call me beauty queen,
It'll fix this broken part of me,
Yeah I just want the audience to want me,
Until the whole world,
La la la la la la la la loves me,
La la la la la la la la loves me.


Oh youth is like a treasure chest,
But it's worthless when there's nothing left,
This currency, commodity,
Will it fix this broken part of me again and again?


The curtain falls and I'm still f*cking lonely,
It's like I'm tryna make the whole world love me
But when they call me beauty queen,
It'll fix this broken part of me,
Yeah I just want the audience to want me,
Until the whole world ...
