The Ugly Duckling (And The Black Swan)
__________________________________________
Got a stage-fright overdose (Just a prom dance…)
It ain’t blood leaking down the Denims…
What I’d give to be comatose… (A pair of pants…)
I’M NOT OKAY!!! GIVE ME THE VENOM!!!
Don’t tear my clothes! I’m going in! (Teens these days…)
The locker’s closed, again they win! (Scene went gray…)
Dressed up, but prom’s all booked today.
Self-esteem rejected me, do I look okay?!
“What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger”
“Well High-school’s only a few years longer”
Engraved on the perfect knife… (Stuck in breaking locker…)
“I’M NOT FIT FOR THIS LIFE!!!” (Get in the fucking locker!!!)
How much do my eyelids weigh… (But I DID go to sleep on time!!!)
I’M NOT BLIND!!! (Close the blinds!!) (The mirror man is not fine!!!)
One of the swine, one of no kind… (Make my inkblot the missing link…)
I’M NOT OKAY!!! (Do I look okay?!) (When on the brink, do NOT blink…)
Attack with words, rock solid facts!!! (Teacher’s always right…)
Lips stitched silent so I will not shout… (It’s opposite day!!!)
Shut my mouth an “don’t talk back”… (GET OUT OF MY SITE…)
Safety scissors can’t let my words out!!! (Nothing to SAY!!!)
Look shocked, as if you really cared!!! (HE SAID, WHAT?!)
So laugh out loud, Go point and stare… (SHUT UP! SHUT-)
But, WE WON’T CONFORM!!! (NO! NO!! NO!!)
Weren’t born to be the norm… (No, No, No…)
How much do my eyelids weigh… (But I DID go to sleep on time!!!)
I’M NOT BLIND!!! (Close the blinds!!) (The mirror man is not fine!!!)
One of the swine, one of no kind… (Make my inkblot the missing link…)
I’M NOT OKAY!!! (Do I look okay?!) (When on the brink, do NOT blink…)
Take away the knife!!! (STAY AWAY!!!)
Make it stay outta my life!!! (STAY AWAY!!!)
Mirror, Mirror… I’m not okay!!! (DYING TO LIVE!!!)
I’M JUST A GHOST GONE ASTRAY!!! (DYING TO LIVE!!!)
Breaking down, turning to the unknown (Ghost, if you can hear this…)
My Home Sweet Home, an all I can eat chocolate buffet!!!
Take me to a ghost town… I DON’T want to be alone (I’M FEARLESS!!!)
So haunt me!!! HAUNT ME!!!! HAUNT AWAY!!!!!
Who knew you could gut me with just a stare… (Who are you?!)
I’m a daily patient at the blood drive!!! (They- LIVE TO BLEED…)
You’re so sweet for offering me a chair… (With a free noose too!!!)
GIVE ME THE CUTS I NEED TO STAY ALIVE!!! (I BLEED TO LIVE!!!)
Got a stage-fright overdose (Just a prom dance…)
It ain’t blood leaking down the Denims…
What I’d give to be comatose… (A pair of pants…)
I’M NOT OKAY!!! GIVE ME THE VENOM!!!
Homework’s been dipped in blood
The assignment was to bottle a bit
But one drip turned into a flood
And now I’ve got nowhere to sit
I’m a total lunatic… Not a poser… (Overloadin’ pagers…) (Doctor!! Doctor!!)
Sadness is over… I’m slipping away (SAVE ME WHILE I’M STILL SANE!!!)
Every twitch brings me closer… (I see dead teenagers…) (Proctor! Proctor!)
To madness!!! LOSING GRIP TODAY (SAVE ME WHILE I’M STILL SANE!!!)
Take away the knife!!! (STAY AWAY!!!)
Make it stay outta my life!!! (STAY AWAY!!!)
I’m just a ghost gone astray!!! (DYING TO LIVE!!!)
Mirror, Mirror… I’M NOT OKAY!!! (DYING TO LIVE!!!)
