Lyrics

     

I am the face of piss and shit and sugar
I do a crooked little dance with my funny little monkey
what i want, what i want is just your children
I hate what i have become to escape what i hated being

calliopenis envy from your daddy
you're not gonna hear what he don't want to hear
what i say disgusts him
he wants to be me and that scares him

"let's do a funny little dance with my funny little monkey"
the black keys

here is my real head, here is my real head
I wear this fucking mask because you cannot handle me
Here is my real head

they try to blink me not to think me
don't want to bring me out
I am the rotten teeth, my fists are lined with suckers
my prison skin's an eyesore-mirror-sketch-pad
I am your son
your dad
your fag
I am your fad

here is my real head, here is my real head
I wear this fucking mask because you cannot handle me
here is my real head
