Beautiful Monster

Show me how to be one too

Beautiful Monster

Oh please tell me a story

Oh please show me my mind

I'll be so very entertained

By how you put pen to paper

*

Idealist words so cynical

Picture of a beautiful monster

Construction of an entity

With words oh so threatening

*

Telling lies to convince yourself

*

Call me a narcissist

Consider me a ghost

Stare at me with certainty

While blind with confusion

*

You don't care to trace the scars

Secured beneath my mask

But I'll let you write the story

Of a man you never knew

*

so the story goes…

*

Oh please take my picture

Show me how I fit your frame

ill be so very entertained

By how you cut the pieces

*

Facade through facsimile

Imaginative photography

Construction of an entity

Through a lens oh so threatening

*

Telling lies to convince yourself

*

Call me a narcissist

Consider me a ghost

Stare at me with certainty

While blind with confusion

*

You don't care to trace the scars

Secured beneath my mask

But I'll let you write my story

I'm the man you never knew

*

So the story goes…

*

Oh show me how to tell the truth

Just like you

Oh show me a beautiful monster

I wanna be one too

Just like you

Just like you

Just like you

I wanna be one too
