Levi The Poet - Pretty in Pornography lyrics
[Levi The Poet - Pretty in Pornography lyrics]
When she finds the magazines underneath her
Husband's side of the bed
She'll stand naked in front of
The mirror for hours
(well what did you expect?)
"Bang dumb blondes
Sexy singles and busty brunettes"
I must not be as beautiful
As the advertising says
Miss, I saw your poster recently
I read your ad in one
Of Playboy's latest magazines, actually
I've fed every need that I
Believed photography could feed me
If you can believe me i hate it
You are worth so much more than
My brief moment of orgasm
When I allow my mind to deceive me
I'd like to be an open book
And it's hard to admit
How I take advantage of the
Desires God gave me
But, I don't want to sugarcoat
This - I feel hopeless
Trapped in brokenness -
Like I lost before I ever started racing
And I know as well as anybody, this
Is a difficult topic to be facing
And a difficult confession for
Me to be making but, I'm stating that when
God started the molding
Shaping and creating -
You were not designed to be the objects
That men look at while masturbating
Baby, never forget that you were made for
Relating and I'm sick of failing
To realize exactly what it is that I'm saying
I apologize it was never my intent
To ruin lives, compromise
Or feed these eyes
Something other than what was designed
I apologize
It was never my desire to downsize
Or objectify the beauty God designed
To be wrapped tight until it's proper time
Sometimes, though i feed my indecency
Kind of slide that magazine across the
Counter and do it quietly:
Shy my face away so that no one else can see
"Will that be all for you today, sir?"
"Yes ma'am
I'd like to pay to become the opposite
Of what I want to be"
I wish I'd have waited, dedicated to see
The experience God had planned for
Me from the beginning
I am not patient enough to not give in
To every sin forbidden to the hearts of men
Since when am I patient enough
To not give in?
I just apologized five minutes ago!
God! come on! what's going on?
I'm sick of this!
Somebody put some clothes on -
You're better than this!
God's most beautiful creation and
I'm sitting here euphoric like I have
The right to destroy it
Just cause I don't have enough
Dedication to build a relationship
With the one who can free me
So I resort to suffocation
Of my very foundations
While claiming that I'm striving to
Meet the expectations of purity?
Jesus keep reassuring me
I'm yearning to be the entity that
You desire me to be
Jesus keep reassuring her
The one in the centerfold
The picture I'll remember until I grow old
She is human she is human
She is bought and sold to a
Million empty souls feeling so hopeless
That they'll try anything to fill the hole
I apologize please believe it's true
I never meant to hurt you
Husband's side of the bed
She'll stand naked in front of
The mirror for hours
(well what did you expect?)
"Bang dumb blondes
Sexy singles and busty brunettes"
I must not be as beautiful
