about
A song of a patchwork beast, born to the world with a downcast gaze.
lyrics
Mirror oh mirror,
Reflected is a face of horror oh horror
A liger in a cage
Beast with mismatched limbs
Born to the world with a downcast gaze
Horse head with deer antlers
A laughingstock in a pity play
"Don't befriend them, stay away"
Hugging their kids close, their eyes would say
Tiger hide and lion mane
Couldn't help but wonder why it was born this way
Stitching on those pure white wool
Maybe I could become beautiful, too
Monster caught in a craze
Dreaming of beauty and the love it craved
Mmm, mmm
Beast donned in patchwork skin
Changed its look and replaced its limbs
Still afraid of judgers’ gaze
Masked itself behind a brand new face
Smiles, looks
Rehearse, imitate
Gather their favours to smother the self-hate
Monster trapped in a cage
Losing its mind for the love that it craved
Imposter, imposter, heart red with envy
Desperately fitting into a show not meant to be
After stumbling through these years of anger and shame
Please now, what I crave is to be free
To be free from the-
Mirror oh mirror,
Reflecting back from it is horror oh horror
Self-hatred boils under a mocking demeanour (a liger in a cage)
Entangled in a web, resist or surrender
Ah
With the corset tighten it and smile to the nines
Shame and anger swallow them
And burn them up in lies
“Come and love me, free me, liberate me”
Cried the lonely weary patchwork beast
Mmm, mmm
Come love me, save me, liberate me
From my lonely, lonely patchwork beast
Within me
