Beautiful Object - Glass Candy

In love’s golden ocean

No emotion

Fake a smile for charity

Cry in trauma for the drama

Oh no

Real love a golden rarity

Beautiful object

Ooh

I hang them from the walls and ceiling

What more can I do

I want to put my hands deep into feeling

Hands only get so far

Depth for me is just a possibility

And all my misguided desire

Will freeze me deep with pent-up hostility

What’s the meaning of the mask

You can’t be asked

Oh oh

Is life a social fiction?

Not to see but be seen

Oh no

Now that’s a ghost’s ambition

Beautiful object

Ooh

As if a pretty face is so revealing

Hey what I can do

If what I’ve got isn’t as appealing

Beautiful object

Ooh

Soul is sold to portray a perfection

A beautiful object true
