It's hard to walk through all the places
That your life used to be in
So you thought you'd shed a layer
Maybe try on some new skin
Your friends are all imaginary
Your shrink stopped answering her phone
So you decide to make incisions
At your home while you're alone, all alone
♪
But you're no tailor, you're no surgeon
None of your cuts go very straight
Every new layer you uncover
Reveals something else you hate
And then you cracked your head
And broke some bones
And when you glued them back together
You found out you did it wrong
Well, this is the same logic
That got us into trouble the first time
(When we discovered we could use)
The same logic to get us out of trouble
And shake off all the people we abuse
I don't need to know where you come from
If you don't know where you belong
So how's it feel to walk around
Like you're some sort of freak?
You're just a monster in a costume
A shade of what you used to be
♪
And you've got your kind of brand new face on
Where all the skin's pulled thin and taut
And every kid you see starts crying
So you stop going out for walks
Well, I guess nothing can be perfect
So here's a comforting thought
At the bottom of the ocean
Fish won't judge you by your faults
(Judge you by your faults)
Well, this is the same logic
That got us into trouble the first time
(When we discovered we could use)
The same logic to get us out of trouble
And shake off all the people we abuse
Don't need to know where you come from
If you don't know where you belong
So how's it feel to walk around
Like you're some sort of freak?
You're just an actor
But now they caught you
A shade of what you used to be

God damn it, you look so lovely
But you sound, you sound, you sound so ugly
God damn it, you look so lovely
But you sound, you sound, you sound so ugly
Well, God damn it, you look so lovely
But you sound, you sound, you sound so ugly
Well, God damn it, you look so lovely
But you sound, you sound, you sound so ugly
Boy, we gave you every opportunity
Boy, gave you our hands to get you off your knees
Boy sat at our table and ate everything
You say that you're still hungry
Then bite the plates and break your teeth
