beauty is within us - Scott Matthews
O mother dear
Look what you've done
To your forlorn and once beloved son
Why was I born at all
O mother dear
I'm such a freak
A mutant man a woman underneath
Why was I born at all
It's you I blame for all the shame
This anguish and this aching
The mirror turned against the wall
Myself despised forsaken
You say beauty is withing
Us your mother knows
There's a beauty that's
Withing us just like a rose
You say beauty is withing us so let it grow
But it's grown so dark and ugly
O mother dear
I curse you so
For breathing life into
Your wretched son
Why were you born at all
O mother dear
I love you so
O please forgive this anger in my soul
Without you I'm alone
It's me who's been eternally d**ned
Trapped inside this cage a ruined man
All damaged and depraved
O mother dear
This misery
Has settled like a stain upon my skin
A vast unspoken sin
And my mistake is much too late
But your mistake was trusting
That out of grief a goodness comes
And love comes out of lusting
You say beauty is withing
Us your mother knows
There's a beauty that's
Withing us just like a rose
You say beauty is withing
Us so let it grow
But it's grown so dark and ugly
You say beauty is withing us
Your mother knows
There's a beauty that's
Withing us just like a rose
You say beauty is withing
Us so let it grow
But it's grown so dark
I can not see you anymore
O beauty is withing us mother knows
O beauty is withing us like a rose
O beauty is withing us let it grow
O mother dear let me out of here
