Monsters Get Slain

Medicated, and that made it all right to be alive
 The monster boy got killed by the pills that they gave him at the end of the line
 It took twenty years to assemble 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 it's 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"
