I love the dynamic between Thorax and Spike and absolutely relate to not being understood and outcasted. Also I've been wanting to try my hand at the ska punk style. I'm really glad my good friend Crusader! joined me for this track.

Thorax
There’s something bugging me
Like an ant without a hill
Cuz I don’t have a real friend
And maybe I never will
Starving for the magic
I won’t find in this hive
The journey of a pioneer….
To find where I’m alive
Brush me off because I’m different
Pretend that I am dangerous
Tell me “no!”, and keep on running
Always searching I will persist
Is there something wrong with me?
What am I not doing well?
If I can be anyone then,
Why can’t I just be myself?
He would see what I could be and
He would like what makes me strange
Full of pride to be at my side
I am no monster, I can change
Spike
Being brave and being glorious
Doesn’t mean a single thing
If I can’t do what is right
Give back to a helpless changeling
I’m not perfect, I’ll admit I’ve
Hid my true self under lies
I could never make it when all
That I have is a disguise
I can try see what’s inside and
Find the real self that’s in you
Become unmasked even I have asked why
Someone else would like me too
Spike: Come closer it’s ok you’ll see
Thorax: I wouldn’t want you to get hurt by me
Spike: It is fine you don’t have to pretend
Thorax: All I’ve ever wanted was a friend
Spike: Be the changeling you want to be
Thorax: I can’t believe you want to help me
Thorax: I’m so glad that you appeared
Spike: You know that you are kind of weird
Being brave and being glorious (He can see what)
Doesn’t mean a single thing (I can be and)
Now you’re here, we’re together (He likes me when)
We’ll make the most of everything (I am strange)
Be yourself there’s nothing like (Full of pride to be)
Appreciating who you are (At my side, I)
Full of pride to be side-by-side, (Am no monster)
We can
Pick up now just how I want to (Take the chance to)
Friendship with limitless range (Help others through)
Being kind and accepting alike (Show friendship with)
Being a friend just like Spike (In your eyes)
Wait and see what you will be, I’m (Wait and see you)
Not a monster (Are my friend and)
That won’t change
