Indulge

So sit back and let the oil scorch,
And slap on the cucumbers.

Indulge yourself in this denial,
And enjoy it.

Your disposable tan,
And your one-night stands,
won't make you beautiful, darling.

Your surgical hips
and your biodegradable lips
won't hide your suffering, darling.

So sit back and let the oil scortch,
and slap on the cucumbers.

Indulge yourself in your denial,
and enjoy it.

I have always believed that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but also that the most important thing is how we see ourselves.
