Galatea from Universal Monsters by Fall Forever

Oh come and see
What the prodigy
Has made of me

Oh come and see
How his artistry
Interprets me

Oh come and see
How my life’s been set
To his melody

Oh come and see
His monument to
My memory

But he never knew me
Not really
Now his brilliance stands on my bones

And its beauty’s
Not my beauty
Not the beauty that I had known

Oh come and see
Now the prodigy
He won’t leave me

Oh come and see
My captivity
In his masonry

Oh come and see
I was somebody
Now I’m his masterpiece
To come and see

How the growing crowds
Won’t let me sleep

But they never knew me
Not really
And how rare I’d wear this frown

And the thing about
Stone wings
They only weigh me down

A tribute no one asked for
To a life cut down in its prime
And now it’s all I’m known for
The girl so pretty when she cries

Oh come and see
Oh come and see

His wonder
His obsession
Flawless polished marble skin

I was rendered
A rendition
Of the girl he thought I would have been

But he never knew me
How could he?
Could an insect know a flame?

And he didn’t love me
How would he?
I didn’t even know his name

So drag this stranger from my grave


A tribute no one asked for
A life cut down in its prime
And now it’s all I’m known for
The girl so pretty when she cries

The tribute no one asked for
Will cut you down to size
So now it’s all you’re known for
The girl so pretty when she cries
The girl so pretty when she cries
