When I was a young girl,
My eyes were made of sponge.
Soaked in what life was.
When I was a rose bud,
My skin was made of glass,
shattered below.
Now nothing can make me whole.
Make me whole.
Do you see it now?
Do you understand why I am the way I am?
Sometimes I stare into the sun,
Just because the blindness makes me numb.
Some people know that if you think too hard,
You end up eating from a gun.
It's hard work to keep on making sure this mask stays on secure,
In case my skin begins to show.
And it shows.
Do you see it now?
Do you understand why I am the way I am?
Why I am the way I am (x4)
Do you see it now?
Do you understand why I am the way I am?
Why I am the way I am (x4)
Combining crooned murder ballads with raw, angsty hard rock hooks, Melbourne's The Ugly Kings are a wrecking crew well worth watching. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 15, 2021
