Where Does the Ugly Come From?

Stealthy as a thief in the night
She creeps out of the darkness
And eclipses all that is light
By one flick of her nasty tongue
Cutting people without selection
From an unfathomed cesspool of anger
Smoke and spitting like a boiling volcano
Attacking and lashing at everything
I wish I understood what made her like this
I wish I knew
What made the ugly side of me tick
