She wears her sophistication like a mask
Disregarding the honesty of a long ago past

Shameless lying, right to your face
But keeping you at ease with pretty eyes and lovely grace

The deception should be twisted with scars and lines
This Liar has more than earned the non-existant a waring sign

Mass-produced and handed, one-size-fits-all Destruction
Choking your conscience into a corrupt seduction

She'll kill slowly with poisoned promises like honey, smooth and sweet
Smothering Goodness, running through darkened streets

Her twin, a shrouded mystery
The Twin, the release from her sister's misery

The Twin still a curious girl yet a wizened old crone
Sits opposite her forevever young sister who sits upon her gilded throne

The Twin is feared, but wrongly so
When it is She that gives the blow

Anyway this on was inspired by a chapter one discussion/guided reading question about Daisy Buchanan in The Great Gatsby. About how she feels about being "sophisticated." The first line is word-for-word stolen from this kid, Drake's, answer. But the first couplet is about the only thing I wrote related to Gatsby.

The girl is the "perfect" life and 'the Twin' is death. Honey and smothering goodness lines were inspired by two Vanessa Carlton songs. I beleive they're "C'est la vie" and "Half a Week Before the Winter"

The works of Edward Gorey are the creep-ehh-...coolest things ever.
