I walk out Of my old stage It's not hard to say "Goodbye to an ugly place" And my friends they don't watch TV It takes one to know one But you'd think they'd still believe I see something behind me Loomin', trying to define me It approaches, I detect it, something tragic 'Til I see in my reflection, it's like A weight that breaks my shoulders The ghost of an unknown soldier Someday I hope to get away but until then I'll learn to say "Goodbye to an ugly place" And I see faces They're following me Judging my direction And the privilege I receive My skin is made of plastic And it's cracking beneath I'm falling apart piece by piece I see something behind me Loomin', trying to define me It approaches, I detect it, something tragic 'Til I see in my reflection, it's like A weight that breaks my shoulders The ghost of an unknown soldier Someday I hope to get away but until then I'll learn to say "Goodbye to an ugly place" But can't you see I put trust in myself, loving nobody else And I start to complain "a death is a pain" when I know There's something inherently wrong in my brain I deny it I have others to confide in when I see what's wrong I hide it It's only simple science to me Yeah, I got problems of my own Like judging the difference between What's right and what I know Everyday I see the world Changing from better to worse the devil inside us unearthed Hopefully we can find reason to hide Hopefully we can all start to get by and I don't understand Local channels, newspapers, all these kids blank stares And finding a purpose When everyone ignores us One of these days I will suggest proportion But people peak over poor places to place us in mansions Match us with madness Mindless satisfaction to saturate Sadness with denial while the monsters loom over us Seeking a revival so I see something behind me Loomin', trying to define me It approaches, I detect it, something tragic 'Til I see in my reflection, it's like A weight that breaks my shoulders The ghost of an unknown soldier Someday I hope to get away but until then I'll learn to say "Goodbye to an ugly place" Goodbye to an ugly place Goodbye to an ugly place
