Scott Matthew - Beauty is Within Us Lyrics
O mother dear
+
Look what you've done
+
To your forlorn and once beloved son
+
Why was I born at all?
+
O mother dear
+
I'm such a freak
+
A mutant man, a woman underneath
+
Why was I born at all?
+
It's you I blame for all the shame
+
This anguish and this aching
+
The mirror turned against the wall
+
Myself despised, forsaken
+
*You say, "Beauty is within us, your mother knows"
+
"There's a beauty that's within us, just like a rose"
+
You say, "Beauty is within us, so let it grow"
+
But it's grown so dark and ugly
+
O mother dear
+
I curse you so
+
For breathing life into your wretched son
+
Why were you born at all?
+
O mother dear
+
I love you so
+
O please forgive this anger in my soul
+
Without you I'm alone
+
It's me who's been eternally damned
+
Trapped inside this cage, a ruined man
+
All damaged and depraved
+
O mother dear
+
This misery
+
Has settled like a stain upon my skin
+
-a vast unspoken sin
+
And my mistake is much too late
+
But your mistake was trusting
+
That out of grief, a goodness comes
+
And love comes out of lusting
+
*repeat
+
You say, "Beauty is within us, your mother knows"
+
"There's a beauty that's within us, just like a rose"
+
You say, "Beauty is within us, so let it grow"
+
But it's grown so dark I can not see you anymore
+
"O beauty is within us, mother knows"
+
"O beauty is within us, like a rose"
+
"O beauty is within us, let it grow"
+
O mother dear, let me out of here!
