Kneejerk - Ugly lyrics

If my sole purpose was smiling
Sweetly for the lens
I couldn't face myself each day
And maybe it's just me
But i've higher aspirations than
Prostituting myself away
I'm not beautiful but I still hold my head
High i won't bend before I die
I can't believe that you don't feel a little
Empty as you stare blankly back at me
Did you ever achieve anything at
All by placing value on
What you see? is it so hard to understand?
What we have here cannot be explained away
As the fashion of the day
The dust has settled and we still remain
