:: Déjà vu | 似曾相識 ::

O mother dear, look what you've done

to your forlorn and once beloved daughter

why was I born at all?

O mother dear, I'm such a freak

a mutant man, a woman underneath

Why was I born at all?

It's you I blame for all the shame

This anguish and this aching, the mirror turned against the wall

Myself despised, forsaken

You say, "Beauty is within us, your mother knows"

"There's a beauty that's within us, just like a rose"

You say, "Beauty is within us, so let it grow"

But it's grown so dark and ugly

O mother dear, I curse you so

for breathing life into your wretched daughter

why were you born at all?

O mother dear, I love you so

O please forgive this anger in my soul

without you I'm alone, it's me who's been eternally damned

Trapped inside this cage, a ruined man

All damaged and depraved

O mother dear, this misery

has settled like a stain upon my skin, a vast unspoken sin

And my mistake is much too late but your mistake trusted

that out of grief, goodness comes and love comes out of lusting

But it's grown so dark I cannot see you anymore

"O beauty is within us, mother knows"

"O beauty is within us, like a rose"

"O beauty is within us, let it grow"

O mother dear, let me out of here!
