Lyrics
Monsters
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.
I was hanging upside down from the overpass
Waiting to discover something about the world
I couldn't get with the program and I couldn't listen to them
It was like trying to think in reverse
And I don't want to slide into apathy
And I don't want to die in captivity
But these monsters follow me around
Hunting me down
Tryin to wipe me out
Wipe me out
Wipe me out
Wipe me out
Yeah I was hiding away under water
Waiting for distance and buying some time
Trying to be two hundred thousand years younger
So I could excuse myself from human kind
'Cause I don't want to be a container
Or a bastard with a ten page disclaimer
But these monsters spin me around
Get me down
Just try and shut me out
Shut me out
Shut me out
Shut me out
Hold it in your head
Hold it in your head
Hold it in your head (believe in me, believe in me, believe)
I was hiding away under water (shut me out)
Waiting for distance, waiting for time (shut me out)
And I don't want to slide into apathy (shut me out)
And I don't
and I don't want to live in captivity (shut me out)
Shut me out (wooh...)
Shut me out
Shut me out
Shut me out
