You came to me like my alarm

I carved your first and last name in my arm

Now I only wear black so maybe then you will see

I'm just a shadow of what I'm not supposed to be

You fuel my fire with your laughs and your frowns

You call me a freak and join the circus you clown

I heard a man say that I do it for attention

I never thought of that but now that you mention...

No I never drank blood before but I look like I might

with my face painted white

For just this once I wish you'd all just hear what I have to say

For just this once I wish you'd all just turn and fade away

But now-a-day's are different from way back when

so hard to be yourself when your 4+10

For the very first time I feel kind of special

My mom says be normal yet she just got a facial

My parents go away on their trip to Club Med

Then I'll join your tour and be a real dead head

I heard a girl say that I do it for attention

I never thought of that but now that you mention...

I spent my last ten bucks today on black hair dye

You know dye rhymes with die

For just this once I wish you'd all just hear what I have to say

For just this once I wish you'd all just turn and fade away

Hear what I have to say

It doesn't matter any way

It matters anyway
