    Only half as good

    Thin twisted soul screaming for air
    Only half as good as any other
    Beaten down until there is nothing
    Crying a tearless weep

    Inside it burns
    Only half as good as any other
    Warm my cheek with your burning touch
    Crying a tearless weep

    I feel used and thrown away
    Inside it burns
    What was I born a monster?
    Warm my cheek with your burning touch

    Bent needs left lonely and unhappy
    I feel used and thrown away
    Unable to help you see
    What was I born a monster?

    I feel alone within my skin of self dislike
    Bent needs left lonely and unhappy
    Until nothing around me seems real
    Unable to help you see

    Drowning within my own pain
    I feel alone within my skin of self dislike
    Until nothing around me seems real
    Thin twisted soul screaming for air

    Hon, you are a beautiful girl! Really, you scare me. You could be my daughter. I hope no woman/girlever feels like this. People are only skin deep and you are more than that but, your pic shows you have great skin so hopefully this isn't about you.

    As the strongest species upon this planet, able to do what no man can... You should never feel helpless or like a "monster" as you put it...
