“Slutkiss girls, won't you promise her smack?
Is she pretty on the inside?
Is she pretty from the back?

Is she rotten on the inside
Is she ugly, ugly from the back?”

Context: Her face is a map of the world
Is a map of the world

She's a beautiful girl.
And everything around her is a silver pool of light
The people who surround her feel the benefit of it —
It makes you calm
She holds you captivated in her palm.
