my mind my life my soul corrupt
my chemicals mix and I erupt
trapped in my bitterness bound by my pain
locked up in a cell with the thoughts in my brain
in the darkness I'm blind all I feel is my rage
all the hurt and the fear and the doubt in my cage
petition for freedom has been denied
no matter how beautiful, ugly inside
WE ARE ALL UGLY INSIDE
LOST IN OUR SELFISHNESS WE TRY TO MASK IT
THIS WRETCHEDNESS COATED WITH PRIDE
FILLED WITH THE QUESTION BUT NEVER TO ASK IT
DECAYING FERMENTING AND ROTTEN
OUR COVER COLLAPSES REVEALING OUR LIE
OUR PROGRESS WILL SOON BE FORGOTTEN
ALL THAT'S ACCOMPLISHED IS GONE WHEN WE DIE
all I had faith in and all that I trust
all that was stainless is turning to rust
if it was intelligent if it was smart
it was always too clean to be in my heart
all that I thought of was stuck in my head
all that was in me was killing me dead
if it was true I ignored it and lied
no matter how beautiful, ugly inside
WE ARE ALL UGLY INSIDE
THE EVIL WITHIN US IS NO LONGER DORMANT
DUPLICITY WE TRY TO HIDE
THE DUNGEON WE LIVE IN PERPETUAL TORMENT
THIS HIDEOUS BEAST I AWOKE IT
I TRY TO CONCEAL IT I TRY AND I FAIL
MY DECEPTION UNABLE TO CLOAK IT
MY CLEVERNESS NOT ADEQUATE FOR BETRAYAL
