|
Medicated, and that made it all right to be alive |
|
The monster boy got killed by the pills that they gave him at the end of the line |
|
It took twenty years to assemble this beast |
|
And it all fell apart in two quick weeks |
|
Underneath all the scars on his face and his mind |
|
Was a brand new boy with stars in his eyes |
|
And he exploded on the scene like a geek |
|
And he fit right in with all the rest of the freaks |
|
And he had a lot to learn about the world out there |
|
After spending so long in his gloomy lair |
|
And he made up worlds in his mind |
|
But he didn't need them now so he left them behind |
|
And for the first time in a long time |
|
He was glad to be breathing and his new face could smile |
|
"Please don't take this skin away", he cried |
|
"I'll pay any price I have to pay", he cried |
|
"It's great to have this chance to fail", he said |
|
"I never knew there was life for sale, you saved me, you made me again |
|
Oh what an awful secret these scientists kept" |
|
Now he's livin' and lovin' and makin' new friends |
|
And he won't take for granted what everybody has |
|
And in his chest he found a heart that had never ever ever been used |
|
He dug it up and cleaned it off and found out it was as good as new |
|
The spark had grown into a flame |
|
And it burned anybody that got in its way |
|
And he took out a few bridges too, but everything burns bright when it's new |
|
And once a monster and now he's a prince, |
|
Or at least that's how he felt when he got his first kiss |
|
And he learned how to walk and he changed the way he talked, |
|
And he started catching up on everything that he missed |
|
And he tried to be invisible for so long, now it was strange to be seen |
|
And instead of all the villagers form in a mob |
|
They threw down their swords and treated him like a king |
|
"I never knew it could get this good", he cried |
|
"You'd never believe how bad it was", he cried |
|
"Please don't take this skin away", he said |
|
"I never wanna go back where I came from, you saved me, you made me at last |
|
All my dungeons and demons are left in my past" |
|
Once he sat in his sadness as days slowly drag |
|
Now he burns with excitement and time moves so fast |
|
And there's a song that he will sing |
|
When he needs to remember how things have changed |
|
He sings, "It ain't so bad, it ain't so bad, it ain't so bad anymore |
|
So don't you cry, so don't you cry, don't you cry anymore |
|
No don't you cry, don't you cry, don't you cry anymore" |
