Underneath The Shell
Why are you laughing?
Why are you just staring at me?
Piece me back together, please
Do you think I wanted to be this way?
So grotesque and hollow..
You are the filthy one I hate
Yet the saint I plead mercy from
Make me whole again
Let me bathe in the slick muck of your world
I want to know the rotten power
You have used to break my shell
So you can see the monster you created within it
Why are you just staring at me?
Piece me back together, please
Do you think I wanted to be this way?
So grotesque and hollow..
You are the filthy one I hate
Yet the saint I plead mercy from
Make me whole again
Let me bathe in the slick muck of your world
I want to know the rotten power
You have used to break my shell
So you can see the monster you created within it
