The Disgusting Maw Lyrics

From the moment that you were born you've been shown aesthetic perfection and
told that you're nothing if not that, force-fed vanity by the media and its
lies... and its lies. So you hide your heart and you hide your face, buried
beneath six feet of mascara, building your life on one single layer of
foundation. And all the while just beyond your sight : The face of love;
compassion stares from behind the mirror. He weeps, for you are ashamed of the
beauty He sees deeper, even deeper... the only beauty that matters... For
everything of this world will pass away : is subject to decay. Look further...
even further... even further... and you too will see what His eyes rest upon,
it's you and that beauty is indescribable. Let it breathe. Let it breathe. Let
it breathe. Let it breathe. Let it breathe... Go... Let it breathe. Let it
breathe. Let it breathe.

[Song commentary (by vocalist Nicholas Tautuhi):
From birth we are bombarded with images of unattainable beauty and material
excess. This song is about the true beauty that goes beyond the depth of skin.
The beauty that all too often goes unnoticed for many of us. We are all
individuals, created by God. Beauty is more than how we look. It's who we
naturally are in Christ Jesus.]
