A gnawing obsession Aiming for perfection Possessing a handicap Might seem like two steps back The mirror changed me My self-image deranged me I'm ugly and disfigured I was never satisfied Years of therapy Wasted time and anxious dreams I waited for so long But I was always ready I tried to convince them But still they couldn't see But I don't care Shoot me up and cut below the knee All throughout my life Like a parasite it seemed A burden to mind It never was a part of me But now it's gone, I'm sitting here Unable to explain This sudden happiness I wonder, have I gone insane? Years of therapy Wasted time and anxious dreams I waited for so long But I was always ready I tried to convince them But still they couldn't see But I don't care Shoot me up and cut below the knee Give me back my self-esteem Help me please, fulfill my dream A lump of flesh that serves no one Thank you Christ, at last it's gone Thank you Christ, at last it's gone Thank you Christ, at last it's gone Give me back my self-esteem Help me please, fulfill my dream A lump of flesh that serves no one Thank you Christ, at last it's gone Thank you Christ, at last it's gone Thank you Christ, at last it's gone
