Medicated, and that made it all right to be alive 
The monster boy got killed by the pills that they gave him at the end of the line 
It took twenty years to assemble this beast  
and it all fell apart in two quick weeks 
Underneath all the scars on his face and his mind  
was a brand new boy with stars in his eyes 
And he exploded on the scene like a geek 
And he fit right in with all the rest of the freaks 
And he had a lot to learn about the world out there 
After spending so long in his gloomy lair 
And he made up worlds in his mind 
But he didn't need them now so he left them behind 
And for the first time in a long time  
he was glad to be breathing and his new face could smile 
"Please don't take this skin away", he cried 
"I'll pay any price I have to pay", he cried 
"It's great to have this chance to fail", he said 
"I never knew there was life for sale, you saved me, you made me again 
Oh what an awful secret these scientists kept" 
Now he's livin' and lovin' and makin' new friends 
And he won't take for granted what everybody has 
And in his chest he found a heart that had never ever ever been used 
He dug it up and cleaned it off and found out it was as good as new 
The spark had grown into a flame 
And it burned anybody that got in its way 
And he took out a few bridges too, but everything burns bright when it's new 
And once a monster and now he's a prince,  
or at least that's how he felt when he got his first kiss 
And he learned how to walk and he changed the way he talked,  
and he started catching up on everything that he missed 
And he tried to be invisible for so long, now it was strange to be seen 
And instead of all the villagers form in a mob  
they threw down their swords and treated him like a king 
"I never knew it could get this good", he cried 
"You'd never believe how bad it was", he cried 
"Please don't take this skin away", he said 
"I never wanna go back where I came from, you saved me, you made me at last 
All my dungeons and demons are left in my past" 
Once he sat in his sadness as days slowly drag 
Now he burns with excitement and time moves so fast 
And there's a song that he will sing 
When he needs to remember how things have changed 
He sings, "It ain't so bad, it ain't so bad, it ain't so bad anymore 
So don't you cry, so don't you cry, don't you cry anymore 
No don't you cry, don't you cry, don't you cry anymore"
