Medicated and that made it all
right to be alive
The monster boy got killed by
the pills that they gave him at
the end of the line
It took twenty years to
assemble this beast
And it all fell apart in two
quick weeks
Underneath all the scars on his
face and his mind
Was a brand new boy with
stars in his eyes
And he exploded on the
scene like a geek
And he fit right in with all the
rest of the freaks
And he had a lot to learn about
the world out there
After spending so long in his
gloomy lair
And he made up worlds in his mind
But he didn't need them now so
he left them behind
And for the first time
in a long time
He was glad to be breathing and
his new face could smile
Please don't take this skin away
he cried
I'll pay any price I have to pay
he cried
It's great to have this
chance to fail
he said
I never knew there was life
for sale you saved me
you made me again
Oh what an awful secret these
scientists kep
Now he's livin' and lovin' and
makin' new friends
And he won't take for granted
what everybody has
And in his chest he found a
heart that had never ever
ever been used
He dug it up and cleaned it off
and found out
it was as good as new
The spark had grown into a flame
And it burned anybody that
got in it's way
And he took out a few bridges too
but everything burns bright
when it's new
And once a monster and now
he's a prince
Or at least that's how he felt
when he got his first kiss
And he learned how to walk and
he changed the way he talked
And he started catching up on
everything that he missed
And he tried to be invisible for
so long now it was
strange to be seen
And instead of all the villagers
form in a mob
They threw down their swords and
treated him like a king
I never knew it could get this
good he cried
You'd never believe how bad it
was he cried
Please don't take this skin
away he said
I never wanna go back where
I came from you saved me
you made me at last
All my dungeons and demons are
left in my past
Once he sat in his sadness as
days slowly drag
Now he burns with excitement and
time moves so fast
And there's a song that
he will sing
When he needs to remember how
things have changed
He sings
It ain't so bad it ain't so bad
it ain't so bad anymore
So don't you cry so don't you cry
don't you cry anymore
So don't you cry don't you cry
don't you cry anymore
