This heavy psychedelic piece was recorded in 1993 and was included on a Boston Hardcore compilation in an edited form. This is the full track as it was recorded and touches on gender and body image issues, and a sincere, somewhat naive, desire to move beyond the imposed societal notions of beauty.

lyrics

So you've shown me all that's beautiful
Another figure figures out my role for me
Stood in line for so long
Ripped the decency from my head
Sucked humanity through my eyes

Not my beautiful

See the maumet idol eyes
love faces boundaries in eyes
Nothing lies behind those eyes
Not my beautiful

Conquest the mind at rest
no men in question
these walls of skin that keep me in
What's gonna free us to see
abuse in fantasy

Beautiful
in the song she sung
in the love we carried hand to hand

Rise inside, rise inside
