When the Scum Dries

I can see through the lies
In your Crystal Meth reflection
When the Scum Dries 
Let's illuminate all shadows 
I've put locks on my doors
You're not a person I recognize 
Anymore 
You're dried up, twisted 
And hollow 
My time has come
Your day is done 

You've bedded down 
Every creep in the town 
Found a new liquid stench
You can swallow 
You're wretched inside 
What was beautiful died 
Long ago
You're at the end of the show 
Where you take your
Curtain call
You'll find the audience 
Is laughing as you fall

It was a psychotic ride
And it blistered my vision
Until the Scum dried 
It's time to sanitize the shadows 
My time has come
You're day is done

You've bedded down 
Every creep in the town 
Found a new liquid stench
You can swallow 
You're wretched inside 
What was beautiful died 
Long ago
You're at the end of the show 
Where you take your
Curtain call
You'll find the audience 
Is laughing as you fall

We've reached the end of our show
I think I'll skip the curtain call
And walk away from all this smiling
As you fall
