Summer was cold and winter torched my skin

This is the saddest I have ever been

I've got scissors for a tongue and I sting

It won't matter if you are thief or king

Dear, I'm a walking and talking freak show

Nature knows only in me rain and snow

The puppeteers would love to grab my strings

For they know I've fallen and lost my wings

Mud and filth protect my skin from disease

They leave no rosy lips for them to seize

And since then I've been found where shadows play

Darkness knows how to make me feel okay

And when the master of the scythe himself

Takes one look at me he would kill himself
