Well-Adjusted

(Kenneth Hann State Recreational Park, Los Angeles, USA)

  I don't think I'm bad
  And I know that I'm not evil
  I'm not a demon or a devil
  I'm just being all I ever had
  I acknowledge the upheaval
6  I look how evil looks, I bedevil

  "I think it's simply because of your mask
  That is supposed to be a demon
  And you know it is too
  You know what they'll ask
  They being those interested in your reason
12 Do you read what you write, and know what you do?"

  Of course I'm not surprised
  I am aware of the prejudices against my face
  I won't deny or hide from them
  And I have no scheme to devise
  I do not bask in my disgrace
18 I am not hiding, because hiding has no end

  "So you believe that you're well adjusted?
  You're not evil or defined by the stupid mask you're wearing?
  Not many people walk around wearing the mask of a demon
  They wear the face for which they were thrusted
  You pretend to be uncaring
24 But you're still hiding behind, vanity's treason!"

  Do not thrust your judgement upon me
  I am not insane, this is my surface
  Is my face, my heart?
  My soul is defined vile because I'm ugly?
  That's what your thoughts preface?
30 That's why I'm marked?

  "That is not a mask. Your face, you're wearing?
  You're saying that you were born with horns?
  You're not lying, you're not hiding?
  This truth you're marrying
  To your life sworn
36 Is that you're hideous and you didn't do the deciding?"

  This is who I am, goddamn it!
  Do I judge you? Or give a fuck about your beauty?
  I am who? I am? I am what I say, and then what I do!
  "You don't have to throw a fit."
  Yes, I fucking do! It's getting harder for you people to see
42 I am well adjusted, I am not crazy, no matter your view
