Lyrics
Dark shadows blooming
Ghosts of eons looming
You took me to be your dark melody
I’m a sick little sad girl
You brought me into your world
To tour me like a freak show
Now you won’t let me go
Down in your misfit toy box with the used and the worn
Down with the wounded, discarded, and deformed
You’ll never take us out for a walk in the sun
Drag me like a rag doll
‘Cause I won’t play show and tell
So pretty in a locket you hide in your pocket
Hanging in the handcuffs
I try to fit in too much
You tell me I’m worthless
But you won’t let me go
Down in your misfit toy box with the used and the worn
Singing tea time rhymes with the frail and the torn
We baked your cakes from our sugar and our tears
After all we’ve bled for now you won’t give us some
You’ll never understand what I’ve lived in my land
Miles away
Island castaway isn’t just for a day
Leave us or join us we live this way
In the dark
Ostracized
Demonized
We’re the monsters beneath your bed
We put the bad dreams in your head
We will burn it down
Before you can burn us
We will burn it down
Before you can burn us
We will burn it down
Before you can burn us out
