You grown so ugly

I can’t even look at ya
Stupid child
Why do you lie?
I’m gonna treat ya
Treat ya
Like a step child

Watch me

Late night

And you are so alone

Baby angels
Decend
From on high
Where you going
Understand
Let me tell you about it
It’s hot
It’s cold
It’s hot and it’s cold
And it’s at the same time

You and I
That’s a history
Lies

Our bodies
Are made up of lots of molecules
Between me and you son there ain’t much difference
[Between me and you son, no difference]
You still got to choose
[Still got to choose]

Come on

Ahhhh

You and I

That’s a history

Lies

You and I
Fortified
Sssssss
