lyrics

Oh, tears steam your face and your hand finds mine
You skin is so warm and your hair so fine
The weight of my secret goes to break my back
The courage to tell you is all that I lack

Well, oh, there's a monster so great it goes to tear us apart
With murderous talons it lurks in the dark
The people go searching to bring it to light
But when they all find it there won't be much a fight

Well I'll stand on my two feet just like I've always said
I work for my pittance to buy myself bread
Everyday's a struggle just to keep at bay
The monster inside who would control what I say

Oh, everything was perfect just us in the world
And all we had was nothing, just our flesh and blood
And a monster would rise from deep inside my soul
A crushing wall of ruin to swallow us all

Oh and god will forgive me, but I never will
My words hit like hammers on nails in your soul
I see your face shake as your tears start to fall
Our mouths are the monsters that ruin us all
