My expiration date is here
I disappear, I disappear
My only worth was in my face
Now I'm just taking up the space
The mirror shows a crack
There is no turning back
The light has gone away
Their eyes just slide right past
My shadow has been cast
I have nothing left to say
I was a pretty thing
A bird that used to sing
Now I am just the cage
I tried so hard to stay the same
To play the young and foolish game
I bought the creams, I dyed the grey
I tried to keep the wolves at bay
But time's a hunter, cold and cruel
And I was just its pretty fuel
My expiration date is here
I disappear, I disappear
My only worth was in my face
Now I'm just taking up the space
I am the good advice
That no one ever tries
The ghost at the debate
I am the second thought
The battle never fought
It is my final fate
To be the silent witness
To all this fucking business
Behind the garden gate
But then a thought began to grow
In the quiet dark where nothing shows
If no one sees me
I am free to move among them silently
My invisibility is not a cage
It is a backstage pass to the main stage
My expiration date is here
I disappear, I disappear
My only worth was in my face
Now I'm just taking up the space
My anger is a joke
The final word I spoke
Before my voice went dry
So I will be the witch
The ugly, nasty bitch
The one you can't deny
I'll haunt your perfect world
A story left unfurled
The sparkle in my eye
I am no longer here for your desire
I am the witness in the fire
I hear the secrets, see the lies
Reflected in my old, tired eyes
You think I'm gone, but I am everywhere
A whisper of poison in the air
My expiration date is here
I disappear. I disappear
My only worth is in my rage
And I'm about to turn the page
