once upon a time
just like her nursery rime
before piggy turned swine
i did wear
i feared
on my face
like a shiel
/>like a mawsk
and everybody thinks I'm cool and deadly
nottn you coulda say
woulda let me take it off
and if you get me nervous
ah woulda just laughed it awf
and everybody thought I was cool and deadly
but not so long ago
ins like in a pitcher show
whey the hero got a blow
my spirit got vex
and I get so ressless
that I get careless
and go bare my mawgah chess
I newah inside thinking that
that it makes out of glass
that the whole wide world coulda si
rite dung to the vien inna mi awt
how they twist-up
how they tie-up
how they tighten-up
o my author
how it cut-up
how it craw-up
how it scar-up
(it is a aad author for mawstah you know
this smiling and skinning your teeth
when you out swell-up so till you feel it a goh bus
when you cyan fine the rime to fit the beat
when you cyan fine the answer to the puzzle complete )
so I took off my mawsk
and started wearing dark glasses
but eyry so awftin
I had to take it off
an every nowanden
me fine me laas
who evaded
see my trial
see my craws?
With LKJ, it's a lot of work to decipher the lyrics. Here's the best I can make out so far.
Once upon a time
just like in a nursery rhyme
before the piggy turned swine
I did wear
for my fear
on my face
like a shield
like a mask
because everyone thinks I'm cool and deadly
Nothing you could have said
would have made me take it off
and if you got me nervous
I woulda just laughed it off
and everybody thinks I'm cool and deadly
But not so long ago
just like in a picture show
where the hero gets a blow
my spirit gets vexed
and I get so restless
that I get careless
and go bare my mawgah(?) chest
I never even think
that things are made outta glass
that the whole wide world coulda see
right down to the feeling in my heart
how they twist-up
how they tie-up
how they tight-up
oh my heart
how it cut-up
how it craw-up
how it scar -up
It's a hard act to master you know
this smiling and skining your teeth
when your heart swells up so till you feel it's gonna bust
when you can't find the rhyme to fit the beat
when you can't find the answer for the puzzle complete.
So (?) I take off my mask
and start wearing dark glasses
but every so often
i have to take it off
and every now and then
i find my last
two(?) ever
see my trial
see my crosses?
