Ghost Mice - Monsters Get Slain lyrics

Medicated, and that made it all right to be alive The monster boy got k**ed by the pills that they gave him at the end of the line It took twenty years to a**emble this beast And it all fell apart in two quick weeks Underneath all the scars on his face and his mind Was a brand new boy with stars in his eyes And he exploded on the scene like a geek And he fit right in with all the rest of the freaks And he had a lot to learn about the world out there After spending so long in his gloomy lair And he made up worlds in his mind But he didn't need them now so he left them behind And for the first time in a long time He was glad to be breathing and his new face could smile "Please don't take this skin away", he cried "I'll pay any price I have to pay", he cried "It's great to have this chance to fail", he said "I never knew there was life for sale, you saved me, you made me again Oh what an awful secret these scientists kept" Now he's livin' and lovin' and makin' new friends And he won't take for granted what everybody has And in his chest he found a heart that had never ever ever been used He dug it up and cleaned it off and found out it was as good as new The spark had grown into a flame And it burned anybody that got in its way And he took out a few bridges too, but everything burns bright when it's new And once a monster and now he's a prince, Or at least that's how he felt when he got his first kiss And he learned how to walk and he changed the way he talked, And he started catching up on everything that he missed And he tried to be invisible for so long, now it was strange to be seen And instead of all the villagers form in a mob They threw down their swords and treated him like a king "I never knew it could get this good", he cried "You'd never believe how bad it was", he cried "Please don't take this skin away", he said "I never wanna go back where I came from, you saved me, you made me at last All my dungeons and demons are left in my past" Once he sat in his sadness as days slowly drag Now he burns with excitement and time moves so fast And there's a song that he will sing When he needs to remember how things have changed He sings, "It ain't so bad, it ain't so bad, it ain't so bad anymore So don't you cry, so don't you cry, don't you cry anymore No don't you cry, don't you cry, don't you cry anymore"
