From this side of my skin

Lyrics:

© Shamika
From this side of my skin I look as good as you.
Can\'t see my size or shape, I wear my mortal mantle like a cape.
If I close my eyes I could be tall and perfectly in proportion.
From where I stand I have it all, no cerebral contortion.
I only have to imagine how beautiful I must look.
There\'s nothing to read in the lines of my face.
So I threw away the book, I threw away the picture book.

I hope you see the beauty I\'m projecting.
I hope there\'s animation in my eyes.
I can\'t rely on mirrors or trust what they\'re reflecting
And photographs are always telling lies.

From this side of my skin the World is dark and small.
An operation in reverse, physical judgement is my curse.
Turn off the light. there\'s only touch, a rather special sense.
While visual triggers don\'t mean much visionary attraction is immense.
I only have to imagine how beautiful I must look.
There\'s nothing to read in the lines of my face.
So I threw away the book, I threw away the picture book.

I hope you see the beauty I\'m projecting.
I hope there\'s animation in my eyes.
I can\'t rely on mirrors or trust what they\'re reflecting
And photographs are always telling lies.

Inner beauty is a blessing, a blessing in disguise.
One twist of the kaleidoscope and the magic pieces of my soul will dance before your eyes.

I hope you see the beauty I\'m projecting.
I hope there\'s animation in my eyes.
I can\'t rely on mirrors or trust what they\'re reflecting
And photographs are always telling lies.
