lyrics

Dead life smile on morning mirror lips
Make-up dries, flicked fix with fingertips
it's ritualistic, immunised
but you can't deny the truth in your eyes

(chorus)
it's only when you cut out your heart
hold it, expose it, you can start
to get better
... get better

Wipe it clean, leaving blank slate face
Chest expands in this new breathing space
Watching the plume from your cigarette
In the ash that collects at last accept...

(chorus)
