Inside Story

When I see perfect faces in front of me Magazines full of fabulous beauty queens How could you think that I'm not obscene, me Look at me, saggy baggy and five foot three How could you love the likes of me, me So I'll stay inside these walls and hide myself away Day after day I'll stare at my TV and hope and pray That my poor flesh will melt and flow away How can you even guess what I'm going through Look at you, you're so pretty you know it's true You're so lucky the way you grew, you I can't bear to have my face and body seen out there And you all stare; I want to shrivel up and disappear To fall into the deep and darkened air So you see I cannot show my obscenity Sights like me were never meant to be proud and free I'm locked away with my destiny, me Save your tears -- I've lived with this for all my fading years It's very clear that some of us were never meant to share Our ugliness with you who walk out there Now I'll go back to my shadow show Where I'll grow into the world I know Go where no mirrors grow
