Not Your Monster

Once we
We were the young and the tragic
Trying to make our magic in
This world of temporary things
We were
Searching for sweet perfection
Turning it to affliction while
Not knowing fact from fiction
I was thoughtless
Never that cold and heartless
It was a play reserved for you
When you wanted something new
No more
Call me when you are sober
You are too drunk to remember now
I did write you a love song
You got the words wrong
The pledge, the turn, the prestige
Are not worth anything
When we have to perform them
In front of a blind audience
We all have made our mistakes
Mistakes we've paid for
I'll always be a monster
But not your monster anymore
In the end we
Gave a birth to a hopeless dream
We had it all but prestige and
I have grown to hate our child
I learned
After we closed the curtain
And you had made me disappear
I was not the magician
But the assistant
The pledge, the turn, the prestige
Are not worth anything
When we have to perform them
In front of a blind audience
We all have made our mistakes
Mistakes we've paid for
I'll always be a monster
But not your monster anymore
I have no more cards up my sleeve
And you're no enchanter
I might have been playing the wolf
But you were the vampire
The pledge, the turn, the prestige
Are not worth anything
When we have to perform them
In front of a blind audience
We all have made our mistakes
Mistakes we've paid for
I'll always be a monster
But not your monster anymore
The pledge, the turn, the prestige
Are not worth anything
When we have to perform them
In front of a blind audience
We all have made our mistakes
Mistakes we've paid for
I'll always be a monster
But not your monster anymore
