"scarred ugly mutant girl"

"scarred ugly mutant girl"
a hand in the fire
the burning liar
she told you what would happen
if you jumped on her pyre
she used to come out at night
with eyes like frightened water
but they would chase and taunt her
"mutant girl's out on the town tonite"
most mutant girls stay home
friday nights
and howl
till the world is fading, missing, right.
"scarred ugly mutant girl
you're one of a kind
i'd like to rip you in two
and keep your half as mine"
they told her she deserved it
they told her she should die
she tore her wrist in ribbons
and didn't even cry
you've taken it away from me
everything away from me
now i'm blind and i can't see
the way i dreamt, the way i tried to be
