(Verse 1) Locker slam, another day in this stitched-together frame Hallway shuffle, Frankenstein shuffle, whispers echo my name Screams of "monster" used to sting, now it's just background noise Teenage wasteland, teenage stitches, a broken boy with broken toys (Chorus) Built with borrowed parts, a heart that barely beats Sparks of borrowed life, a soul incomplete I walk this school, a patchwork freak, a science fair reject Teenage Frankenstein, just trying to connect (Verse 2) Lunch tray clangs, cafeteria fluorescent glare Wish I could disappear, but these bolts hold me there The cheerleader smiles, but her eyes hold fear Just because I'm different, doesn't mean I'm not here (Chorus) Built with borrowed parts, a heart that barely beats Sparks of borrowed life, a soul incomplete I walk this school, a patchwork freak, a science fair reject Teenage Frankenstein, just trying to connect (Bridge) Late night whispers in the lab, the storm howls outside Did he create a monster? Or a lonely boy who can't hide? Maybe someday I'll find my place, a world that won't recoil But for now, I'm just a Frankenstein, searching for a smile (Chorus) Built with borrowed parts, a heart that barely beats Sparks of borrowed life, a soul incomplete I walk this school, a patchwork freak, a science fair reject Teenage Frankenstein, just trying to connect (Outro) Maybe someday the scars will fade, the whispers will subside But for now, I'll keep on searching, with this broken heart inside Teenage Frankenstein, under the pale moonlight Just a teenage monster, yearning for a little light
