Ugly
Beauty's in the eye of the beholder
and beauty is only skin-deep,
that may hold true
but ugly's through and through,
distance yourself from this creep.
One won't even see it coming
it's true this ugliness abounds,
it can occur
as just a blurr,
Egahds ! Release the hounds !
For, I've seen ugly up close
and in it's cunning little way,
extortion, you see
can ruin a family,
and one can't stop that decay !
I sure do very often wonder
what I did that was all so great,
I just can't pretend
ugly is my friend,
it's circling me, of late.
So, in the sorrows of my soon-afters
I guess I've given my bid,
don't let me end up
drinking from this cup,
where it appears I'm flipping my lid.
There's no changing how I'm feeling
ugly's had it's hand on my throat,
you probably don't care
but you better beware,
I just can't seem to think of a "quote".
Ugliness reigns in one's heart of hearts
so I'm guessing it's got to be wrong,
it won't last a test
that proves it wrong, at best...
who knew, scandalous had it's own song !
Beware the evil about you
it'll get you, to your dismay
when all's said and done
you'll find your the one,
and it'll be too late to pray.
One might as well give up the knowledge
that you've tasted of evilous fruit,
might as well just pretend
you've never lost a good friend,
I reckon, that this topic is "mute".
and beauty is only skin-deep,
that may hold true
but ugly's through and through,
distance yourself from this creep.
One won't even see it coming
it's true this ugliness abounds,
it can occur
as just a blurr,
Egahds ! Release the hounds !
