The Monster
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 caught you goin' one way but you're running for the other
The world is full of sweet things
You said, someone has to suffer
The bombs went off in London today
A new year has come to stay
You give me seven seasons
But I wanted you forever
Your lips are full of treason
When they say it's now or never
This is not a dividing line
Red nails make the dirt divine
And the monster's heart is the worst part
It bleeds for the great big nothing
When the monster's heart breaks
And all that escapes
The streets will be flooded with thieves
I was lookin' for you one place
You're always in another
Was there any good faith tangled in the covers?
If there were secret breaths to breathe
Why couldn't they speak to me?
The monster's heart is the worst part
It bleeds for the great big nothing
When the monster's heart breaks
And all that escapes
The streets will be flooded with thieves
I've been up here a hundred years
I'm not waiting for the ground
Floating high above these fears
There's no way I'm comin' down
Come and take all what you want
I'm not gonna keep you up
Not tonight
And the monster's heart is the worst part
It bleeds for the great big nothing
When the monster's heart breaks
And all that escapes
The streets will be flooded with thieves
The monster's heart is the worst part
It bleeds for the great big nothing
When the monster's heart breaks
And all that escapes
The streets will be flooded with thieves
The streets will be flooded with thieves
The streets will be flooded with thieves
