The Substance Lyrics

You want perfection a brand-new skin

Erase the scars let the game begin

One little dose a flawless face

But what's inside you can't replace

Mirror mirror staring back

Who's the one behind the mask?

Twist and stretch reshape my bones

Now I'm someone I don't know

They said It's easy just take a sip

So I let it in let it slip

But the more I change the less I feel

Is any of this even real?

Oh I wanted more

Oh I opened the door

Now there's someone else inside

Watching me with hollow eyes

The Substance—taking over

She's alive I'm getting colder

Slipping under losing time

Now her voice is in my mind

The Substance—was it worth it?

Tell me now before I'm perfect

I'm fading breaking splitting in two

Who am I? Who are you?

Skin so smooth hands like glass

Yet I shatter every past

She smiles through me feels so right

But I'm drowning in her light

Every time she speaks I obey

Every time I scream I decay

Now I see the cracks appear

She's the one who's really here

Oh I wanted more

Oh I opened the door

Now there's someone else inside

Watching me with hollow eyes

The Substance—taking over

She's alive I'm getting colder

Slipping under losing time

Now her voice is in my mind

The Substance—was it worth it?

Tell me now before I'm perfect

I'm fading breaking splitting in two

Who am I? Who are you?

She moves my hands she speaks through me

Her voice is silk her will is free

I close my eyes try to fight

But she's awake and I'm the night

The Substance—taking over

She's alive I'm getting colder

Slipping under losing time

Now her voice is in my mind

The Substance—was it worth it?

Tell me now before I'm perfect

I'm fading breaking splitting in two

Who am I? Who are you?

I wanted beauty I wanted more

Now she's the one they're looking for

I watch her smile I see her thrive

But I'm the ghost inside her eyes
