The Ugly

What I see in the mirror, is hated by all
These scars should be behind bars, incased in walls
Trapped because I snapped and hacked up every pretty face
They were laughing at me then vanished without a trace
Case after case gave chase to that place
Where the ugly gets free and ends you with grace
Erased, took a taste, no waste, just bones
The bones are in a sack on my back as we walk home
Where I sit on the throne of the unknown, alone
The majesty of misery, a conundrum to my own
I've shown you time after time and rhyme after rhyme
The ugly makes my words gospel, preach from the divine
Define the ugly? It's so simple
It's hidden behind that smile and the crevice of that dimple
It's me, that monster I keep locked away
Until you open up that CD, slide it in and hit play

Deep in my mind
I keep 'em confined
I'm here to remind
One song at a time
I'm confessin' each crime
The death of the rhyme
I'm showin' the blind
The ugly of mankind

I'm so ugly, no one wants me
I'm forgotten, my mind's rotten, please help me
I've been left alone, I'm so cold, come get me
You can kill the ugly that lives inside me

I'm hideous, a site to make you wanna vomit
Like a fat kid grubbin' on chocolate, uhh, I can't stop it
A taste for death, you can smell it on my breath
It started with that last CD on the left
I made a mess outta life, outta your wife
Outta this knife, outta your relationship with Christ
Never nice and that's why they call me the ugly
Nevermind my face, it's my soul, it must be
Trust me, it's disfigured, scarred and oh so grotesque
Even death has seconds thoughts about takin' my flesh
Makin' a mess outta anyone who's laughin'
At me, you'll see, I'll cut three deep gashes with passion
Across the gullet, reach into your throat and pull it
Put the point 5.0 in the hole and bust a nut with this bullet
The mist paints the wall so lovely
A Van Gogh, a Picaso of the ugly

Deep in my mind
I keep 'em confined
I'm here to remind
One song at a time
I'm confessin' each crime
The death of the rhyme
I'm showin' the blind
The ugly of mankind
