Dear Frankenstein
Have you forgotten all you taught me,
Dear Frankenstein?
Let me remind you
Of of how we came to be this way:::...
Dear Frankenstein
I'd just like to say
Why I finally went away
From early on
You taught me well
About omissions and lies
And doing them well
An omission is not a lie
I learned early on
But you changed your tune
When you thought I had gone
You failed to instill
The difference between
You and me
And the ants on my feet
So an omission I made
To you one day
Because also you taught me
Withholding information is key
You called it a lie
And stood silent for days
Well guess what?
You pushed me away
You changed your mind
When you called it a lie
And a whole lot changed
On that night
My hero, my saint
Held up so high
Dear Frankenstein
You fell from the sky
Hit the ground
Landed on your face
Embrace the change
Nothing can be the same
Now you roam
Amongst the rest
With an H on your face
For Hypocrite
And a Hypocrite
You will remain
Because monsters do
As they are trained
In no time since then
You said I'd lied
Because I trusted you
To see inside
Silly me
I made a mistake
When I trusted you
Again today
Never again
Will it happen to me
Trusting you
Is what dug your grave
Every monster has a Frankenstein
We are born as clay
And shaped by your ways
You wanted a liar
An omit-er
A tool
You got what you asked for
Ten fold, you fool
Betrayed by your monster
You sent it away
And expected it would learn
But return some day
Stupid you
You hypocrite
You fool!
You started digging that grave
The day you taught your monster
To think for itself
It's own ideas to make
And in translation
You fell through the cracks
No decision was made
About who to respect
Dear Frankenstein
I must say
I'm not sorry
You pushed me away
Learned a lot this time
About trust and disdain
Surely you know
That you dug your own grave
It was not me
Who chose this fate
Dear Frankenstein
...
You made me this way.
