Lyrics
Terrible! How Terrible For The Great City!
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
am I a monster when I sink my teeth into her
when I don't love her
no, I don't love you
forgive me darling, but love has nothing to do with this
it has nothing to do with how I can't stop
until I get what I want from you
this is what real men keep quiet
it doesn't exist if you can hide it behind your teeth
and sleep at night next to your wife
who you love too much to tell her
you don't love her at all
I just feel as empty as the lungs
of those waiting in the womb
do you feel as empty as the lungs of those waiting
to come into this world
where being beautiful means being used
how long will we blame the devils on our shoulders
and pose like angels on the outside
when all I am is a monster
