Frankenstein was my father
Mary Shelley was my mother
My household was unstable
I grew up on the operating table
It was a long lost book of childhood dreams
I wish to know better what it all means
He told me when I was one day old
I'd be one hell of a fella
A big strapping boy like you
is gonna knock the world out I tell ya
And my mother looked on me with some sympathy
but loathing
I tell you all I wanted was her love
But she scathingly threw me rags for clothing
I learned to ride a bike and ski in the Alps
Albeit because my loving father had decided to kick me out
I mean I found out that after my mother had died
he'd engaged another woman who was gonna be his bride
But you see to him, I was his greatest disappointment
He thought he'd created me in his image
But it was a distorted disillusionment
My father, my father was God he said
And I have to ask: am I human, living or dead?
If I am just parts, am I greater than their sum
And if I'm not a machine, then a human how come
Society rejects me, my own father baulks
I scare children in the park
even the mirrors shatter when I talk
I am a hideous abomination, no love have I
Then what can a monster do but take revenge or die?
