And for my child, I'd give the world
And for a sprite, I never learn
Make her beautiful
Make her pure
Name her fairy
Make her boy
Safe in my womb, you will grow
Safe, til the moment of your birth
Everyone here is just out to get you
Only your mother can ever keep you safe
We run, all of our lives, spent on our wings
We are just nymphs
Never fall in love, it's never worth the pain
Noone wants you for your brain
I was a fool, thought my beauty didn't define me
Never again will i make that mistake, I was used and forsaken for that
I can't bare to watch my daughter suffer like I did
Keep it inside, never speak your mind
Shut it all out, I insist
Never fall in love, it's never worth the pain
Noone wants you for your brain
Sleep, sleep away, sleep til we die
Sleep til you're here
So? I don't know what love is
Sex? Well I just don't care
God? There is no such thing, but
Love? Just tell me where
Born as a boy, born again as a girl
"Nobody talk to her, she's a thinker"
My mother said I can't make any friends
Nobody wants you if you're a thinker"
Why does nobody like me?
Secretly, I'm so lonely
All of the boys here want me
All of the girls intrigue me
Rain won't you please pay attention to me?
Nobody talks to me, I'm a thinker
Born as a boy, born again as a girl
Nobody wants you if you're a thinker
Early december, oh how I remember
Your face as you told me
Your name was Rain
I was worthless, you were perfect, yet you couldn't stay
But oh, it was love
Just two nymphs in the winter sun
All a girl could ever want
Every touch, every breath, every colour in her hair
And if love was rain
Then she washed my pain away
Safe in her arms, I said 'run away with me'
Everyone here is just out to get you
Only a lover could ever keep you safe
So let's run
We were just devils in an honest place
He was a stranger with an honest face
And I couldn't believe the mess we were in
'Don't worry, my dears', he said with a grin
He helped us inside, said we could stay
And I guess I just trust every honest face
But we weren't aware of the trouble to come
He threw us in a cell and held up a gun
"Don't run
Run away
There's no where to hide, my dear
You've nothing to fear
Yeah, you're safe here
You're safe here"
Then he pulled the trigger, he blew rain away
"Only a thinker should deserve this"
Now all I had has been relinquished
Weeks became months, locked in my cell
What once was a nymph is now just a shell
Not a thinker, not anymore
Once I was broken, the man let me go
"Any nymph caught 'thinking' will end up like her
So go"
Fly away, I'm not a fairy
I'm just a nymph
It took the death of rain
To set me straight
It took the the life of rain
But now you're gone
Fairy walks home late at night
Finished for the month, now she waits for a week, she just sleeps til then
Now she's counting every name, using that big old brain, she remembers everyone, every touch
And she would fool you, seems so carefree
Like she's meant to, so you can't see
What she's been through, oh she's just nymph for you to do as you wanted
"And I feel lost and alone and ashamed, where is rain? Just a nymph, a nymph"
Beauty defines her, a war in her head still confines her, her lover is dead, don't remind her, just take her to bed, it's much kinder this way
What's on the inside doesn't mean a thing, no
Something that I had to learn the 'hard' way
Love is a fairy's tale, where you find the 'one'
But no-one has the time for love anymore
Beauty defines us, beauty divine
Beauty confines us, or absolves us of the crime
Beauty reminds us to relinquish our flaws
Hopelessly guides us 'tween masochistic walls
So thank god that I look like this
Beauty defines us
I am a whore, don't know what for
And this is my life, oh is this it?
Baby what's the point, though I look so perfect
I am just another lay, to another boy
Love is a fairy's tale, where your feelings matter
I don't want to feel a thing anymore
Beauty defines us, beauty divine
Beauty confines us, or absolves us of the crime
Beauty reminds us to relinquish our flaws
Hopelessly guides us 'tween masochistic walls
There was a war, not sure what for
And nobody wins, when you have wings
This is a war, I don't know what for
There is a war, and we have wings
And claws, and teeth that gnaw
If this is war, then how long for?
I must protest to make a nest
Before we learn to clean this mess
Once in a dream, a beautiful dream
I had a friend, her name was Rain
Now in the dark, losing myself
Losing myself, and all for
Beauty, hair, the way I dress
The way I should seduce a man
I must protest to make a nest
Now that I know, I know
Beauty will ruin me, I swallow my pride
Beauty so temporary, not lasting all our lives
Beauty reminds us, that we are the same
Nymphs are all equal
When you treat them like a slave
