Monster
Monster
[Verse 1]
Dear God, I've made a monster
One in my image
When he talks he tells me I'm evil
Screwed up, scared, doing what I can to keep breathing
Waiting for your soft ressurection
You've got that medicine I need
Your sweat and skin; feed it to me slowly
Wrap your hands around my neck and squeeze me tightly
Promise not to stop until I'm dead
Death does not sting
[Chorus]
Are you going to tear my heart away?
I said I wanted to die, I did not mean it
This brilliant skin of mine fell to decay
With no pulse to keep me here, to keep me singing
Oh, yes... is this it?
A heaven of mine, what I truly want?
...Or am I still lost?
[Verse 2]
Dear God, I've made a monster
With whom I can't reason
I tried to and got fucked hard
Like a harlot, a broken starlett with a scarlett letter to freedom
That tells me, 'life can't be this hard'
But you've got that medicine I need
Your touch, it burns, but it's my heart's plea
Place your hands around my waist and whisper softly
'You'll die,' I'll say, 'Darling that's okay with me...'
[Chorus]
Are you going to tear my heart away?
I said I wanted to die, I did not mean it
This brilliant skin of mine fell to decay
No pulse to keep me here, to keep me singing
Oh yes, is this it?
A heaven of mine, what I truly want?
Or am I still lost?
[Bridge]
When he talks it's liquid evils and he's making me crazy
He tells me, 'life is just too hard...'
And I can end it if I find a way to keep it from beating
He tells me, 'Death isn't that hard...'
[Chorus]
Are you going to tear my heart away?
I said I wanted to die, but I did not mean it
This brilliant skin of mine fell to decay
Nothing left to keep me here, to keep me singing
Oh, yes, is this it?
A heaven of mine, what I truly want?
Or am I still lost?
