[Verse 1]

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

[Verse 2]

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

[Pre-Chorus]

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

[Chorus 1]

So how's it feel to walk around

Like you're some sort of freak?

You're just a monster in bad costume

A shade of what you used to be

[Verse 3]

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)

[Pre-Chorus]

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

[Chorus 2]

So how's it feel to walk around

Like you're some sort of freak?

You're just a lobster in a mermaid costume

A shade of what you used to be

[Bridge]

Goddamnit, you look so lovely

But you sound, you sound, you sound so ugly

Well, goddamnit, you look so lovely

But you sound, you sound, you sound so ugly

Well, goddamnit, you look so lovely

But you sound, you sound, you sound so ugly

Well, goddamnit, you look so lovely

But you sound, you sound, you sound so ugly

[Outro]

Boy, we gave you every opportunity

Boy, we gave our hands to get you off your knees

Boy, you sat at our table and ate everything

You say that you're still hungry

Then bite the plates and break your teeth

We started with psychodrama...
