Girls that glitter love the dark   We lace it through our bitter, black little hearts   And then we feign surprise when we see   That those we've loved to love    Have seeped into our poisoned blood      Girls that glitter deceive death   We thread ourselves through innocent flesh   And then we feign surprise when we see   That those we've loved to waste they seem to be erased      Knit it through, thread it, sew it to unsuspecting flesh   They won't regret it, or so they say   And those you have loved have snagged on your thorny veins   But they don't regret it, or so you say      Girls that glitter desecrate a kiss   We break the code of happiness   And then we feign surprise when we see   That those we've loved have loved to leave      Girls that glitter defile hope   We think that love is just tightening that sad little rope   And then we open our eyes and we see    Through the gash of a fluttering eyelash      We see love trying desperately to flee   But you don't ever have to fear   Just break its wings and it will never disappear   You don't ever have to fear   Just break its wings and it will never disappear      Knit it through, capture it    And stitch it to your brittle little heart   At least that way love can't tear it apart   Knit it through, sew it to    They won't regret you   ...And if they do?      But the thing that girls know best   Is that glitter covers all the ugliness   And they know one thing above all the rest:   Sparkle covers evilness   Shimmer covers all the mess   Glitter covers darkness   And then came the moment when the swarm of bees drowned
