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
