Monster

Thought I’d bite my tongue
Just this once, maybe twice
But the harder I bite

Now it’s drawing blood
There’s a trace on my lips
Leaves a taste when we kiss

Try to cover up
All of the lies and
All of the lines that I bottle up
To keep you safe and sound

But echoes of warnings
Like whispers of morning light
Keep creeping through cracks in my memory
And make me lose my mind

But every time I close my eyes
It’s calling to me like a siren
Threatening to come alive
Unless I pay the price, yeah

But if my heart is right this time
And I can finally bare my secrets
Maybe you won’t run and hide
But love the monster inside me

Maybe all that love
Is a switch that we flip
When we’re losing our grip

And it’s close enough
Taking good with the pain
Go a little insane

All we really want
Is someone to hold until we grow old
That no matter what
Can’t be scared away

Echoes of warnings
Like whispers of morning light
Keep creeping through cracks in my memory
And make me lose my mind

But every time I close my eyes
It’s calling to me like a siren
Threatening to come alive
Unless I pay the price, yeah

But if my heart is right this time
And I can finally bare my secrets
Maybe you won’t run and hide
But love the monster inside me

Beauty in the chaos
All that’s left to save us now
Beauty in the chaos
All that’s left to save us now
Beauty in the chaos
All that’s left to save us now
Echoes of warnings like
(Beauty in the chaos
All that’s left to save us now)
Echoes of warnings like
(Beauty in the chaos
All that’s left to save us now)

But every time I close my eyes
It’s calling to me like a siren
Threatening to come alive
Unless I pay the price, yeah

But every time I close my eyes
It’s calling to me like a siren
Threatening to come alive
Unless I pay the price, yeah

But if my heart is right this time
And I can finally bare my secrets
Maybe you won’t run and hide
But love the monster inside me
