lyrics

I have a face, two arms and two hands
A beating heart and lively eyes
Sometimes I feel I'm barely human
A monster in disguise
Some of them stare and point their fingers
Some others grin and laugh with disdain
This is the norm when you are different
You're submitted to judgment

"You're not allowed to run with the pack
You might just be a psychopath"

The Frankenstein kind fights alone
To walk its way among the clones
A daily battle no one knows about
The struggle takes might

I'm not this hair, I'm not this skin
Nor these fingernails that are painted black
I am the soul that lives within
They can't see beyond sight
Not lamenting and not complaining
The common of mortals fear the unknown
Their ignorance is far more frightening
I'm better on my own

"You're not allowed to run with the pack
You might just be a psychopath"

The Frankenstein kind fights alone
To walk its way among the clones
A daily battle no one knows about
The struggle takes might
The Frankenstein kind tries in vain
But never can escape the pain
Never set yourself on fire for them
They would just watch you burn

Ding dong, the witch ain't dead yet
And I will never forget
The way you treated me
and filled me with insecurity
It takes strength to not be a sheep
To follow the flock is easy
But I was born original
And you won't dull my sparkle
