They think I'm a monster
They think I'm so low
The see me as an imposter
What could they ever know?

They call me disgusting
Sad and torn apart
But it's their eyes that they're trusting
Instead of their heart

They look with their eyes
Too blinded to see
That everyone's in a disguise
Especially me

Just close your eyes
Look with your heart
See through the disguise
Let the mask fall apart
