The pain of knowing
The sting I saw approaching
Bogs me down in my shame
The scourge resurgent
Urgent reminder of all that's defective in me
Shut me out
Silence me
Say it again
I am only my skin
Half of a human
Half of a much lesser beast
Bastard born with no face
The scourge resurgent
Urgent reminder of everything broken in me
Shut me out
Silence me
Say it again
I am only my skin
