From the recording Obey Thy Flesh
Lyrics
Steel heels echo through the night
Neon veins in a city's bite
I learned the language they all obey
Twist desire into power play
Painted lips, a war disguise
Trading stares for alibis
You say I'm sold I say I'm free
Who owns the shame in this economy
Skin is the currency, pain is the cost
In a world that taught me I’d always be lost
I'm not your angel, I'm not your sin
I'm the revolution dressed in porcelain skin
Cameras love me, but never stay
I turn the gaze, make them pay
Call me names, throw your stones
I build a throne out of your bones
Power drips in every move
Crimson lashes, nothing to prove
I'm not the myth you think you know
I'm the fire wrapped in a fashion show
Skin is the currency, pain is the cost
In a world that taught me I’d always be lost
I'm not your angel, I'm not your sin
I'm the revolution dressed in porcelain skin
Don’t call me weak, don’t call me fake
I'm what you made, and what you’ll break
Your double standards, your sick praise
Burns like acid in the roles I play
Smile for the paycheck
Show a little leg
Be the bait, not the threat
Now pay your debt
Skin is the currency, pain is the cost
But I'm the dealer you’re the one who’s lost
Not just surviving I'm taking the crown
Queen of the shadows, never backing down
Whispers fade in factory light
I walk alone, but never in fright
Power wears many faces
Tonight, it wears mine
