beauty is within us

Lyrics: Chris Mosdell Music: 菅野 よう子 Oh,mother dear Look what you've done To your forlorn and once beloved son Why was I born at all? Oh,mother dear I'm such a freak A mutant man, a woman underneath Why was I born at all?
It's you I blame for all the shame This anguish and this aching The mirror turned against the wall Myself despised, forsaken You say, "Beauty is within us, your mother knows" "There's a beauty that's within us, just like a rose" You say, "Beauty is within us, so let it grow" But it's grown so dark and ugly
Oh,mother dear I curse you so For breathing life into your wretched son Why were you born at all? Oh,mother dear I love you so Oh,please forgive this anger in my soul Without you I'm alone
It's me who's been eternally damned Trapped inside this cage, a ruined man All damaged and depraved
Oh,mother dear This misery Has settled like a stain upon my skin A vast unspoken sin
And my mistake is much too late But your mistake was trusting That out of grief, a goodness comes And love comes out of lusting
You say, "Beauty is within us, your mother knows" "There's a beauty that's within us, just like a rose" You say, "Beauty is within us, so let it grow" But it's grown so dark and ugly
You say, "Beauty is within us, your mother knows" "There's a beauty that's within us, just like a rose" You say, "Beauty is within us, so let it grow" But it's grown so dark,I cannot see you anymore Oh,beauty is within us, mother knows Oh,beauty is within us, like a rose Oh,beauty is within us, let it grow Mother dear, let me out of here!
