beauty and the beast

I am monstrous and devious
A disgrace and scum
I am hideous to behold
And repulsive and numb

I am the beast

Yet you call me beauty

I am murderous, adulterous
A liar and a fake
I am filled with pride
And with self love, self hate

I am the beast

Yet you call me beauty

here i lay
prostrate on the floor
soaking in the tears
asking for more

i am the beast

yet you call me beauty

i dont understand how
you'd love someone so weak
someone like me
liar, sinner, a freak

i am the beast

yet you call me beauty

you call me beauty?!
can't you see
i've destroyed all the beauty
you created me to be

i am now the beast

still you call me beauty

i hear your words over and over
they're whispered in my ear
but the truth of them troubles me
i am grasped by fear

i am the beast

yet you call me beauty

i dont understand
i cant really see
how you can find beauty
when you look at me

for i see a beast
ghastly yet worn
terrific and evil
yet a heart that is torn
i see a beast
broken and afraid
lost in reality
playing a sick charade

i am a beast

yet you call me beauty (and i don't understand, but...)
you call me beauty
you call me beauty
you call me beauty
