Monster

My poison stink
Seeps into everything (everything).
It’s all over all my clothes,
My furniture,
My car seats.
My constant stench
Fogs up the mirrors in my whole house,
Makes a beast of me that reaches out,
And laughs as it eats me.
I hide, it finds me.
I’m silent, it hears me.
Oh god, it sees me.
It’s seized me, believe me!
I run, it’s too fast.
I fight, it fights back.
It fucking attacks,
And attacks, and attacks.
Monsterman
(I’m a monster)
Monsterman
(I am toxic)
Toxicman
(I’m a monster)
Monsterman
Please find me.
I’m trapped in here with this thing (with this thing)
That keeps coming for my brains,
My perspectives,
My whole life.
All I can do
Is avoid the mirrors every place I go
So I don’t have to see myself like this.
I hate seeing myself like this.
I hide, it finds me.
I’m silent, it hears me.
Oh god, it sees me.
It’s seized me, believe me!
I run, it’s too fast.
I fight, it fights back.
It fucking attacks,
And attacks, and attacks.
Monsterman
(I’m a monster)
Monsterman
(I am toxic)
Toxicman
(I’m a monster)
Monsterman
It happens every day.
I wake up, get replaced
By something that hates me.
And that means I hate me.

Yeah, you know me.
I’m the monster under your bed
Waiting for your
Feet to hang down
So I can open up my gaping maw,
Gobble them both up to cut
You down to size, fill my guts,
Get you to believe in me.
I’m a lowly beast, I need to eat.
Blame it on me,
‘Cuz I’m here
To ruin your night,
your entire good time.
Dump it on me
‘Cuz it’s my aim,
To waste your time,
This entire shit life.
Yeah, you know me.
I’m the dark things
In your closet
Making noises
To capture
Your attention,
To get you across the room
So you can open that door,
Let me tear up the whole floor
Under your feet for my feast,
So that in peace I can eat
Your entire brain
Just to stain
Everything you believe.
Believe only in me.
Enjoy the rust
That I leave
On your beliefs
Believe only in me.

Everywhere I go is goddamn crowded and/or empty,
And everyone I meet there, they’re all talking shit about me. (Fuck you!)
Every smile I see’s fucking forced, yellowed, and reeking.
I wish it were not this way,
But the truth’s in my face.
In my face!
I wish I
Could hear (I wish I could hear)
The things you do (I wish I could think, I wish I could see, I wish I could be)
I wish I (I wish I could hear, I wish I could think, I wish I could see)
Could think (I wish I could be, I wish I was not, I wish I could be)
The way you do (I wish I could hear, I wish I could think)
The sunlight’s just a halogen bulb a billion lightyears away.
That frigid flicker-buzz in my ears distorts the things I say. (I’m blind!)
And what I say is always shitty, I can tear down any good day.
I’ll drag everyone to my level so I can get my own way.
Get my own way!
I wish I
Could see (I wish I could hear)
The sky you see. (I wish I could think, I wish I could see, I wish I could be)
I wish I (I wish I could hear, I wish I could think, I wish I could see)
Could be (I wish I could be, I wish I was not, I wish I could be)
Just like you. (I wish I could hear, I wish I could think)
I wish I
Was not (I wish I could hear)
The way I am. (I wish I could think, I wish I could see, I wish I could be)
I wish I (I wish I could hear, I wish I could think, I wish I could see)
Could be (I wish I could be, I wish I was not, I wish I could be)
Something else (I wish I could hear, I wish I could think)
For you.

Garden

There was a place way
Back in the day when
I became me by
Studying you.
But that place cannot
Exist anymore ‘cuz
I peeled myself away
For no other reason
Than recklessness,
Stupidity,
A monster growing inside me.
Now I don’t even exist
To you, to me, to anybody.
How are you today?
I am doing fine.
Everything is great.
That’s fucking lie.
Sometimes I just drive around that place
For some peace of mind,
For some piece of my-
self I left behind
In west garden.
Oh, please look at me.
Won’t you look at me?
Everything is great.
That’s a fucking plea.
Sometimes I just drive around that place
For some peace of mind,
For some piece of my-
self I left behind
In west garden.
I grafted some of
You to me so I
Would remember I
had some value
I can’t remember your voice
At all these days.
You’re just a name an a face
And a shitload of pain.
Even though there is not
Much left of you,
What remains in my brain will have to do.
How are you today?
I am doing fine.
Everything is great.
That’s fucking lie.
Sometimes I just drive around that place
For some peace of mind,
For some piece of my-
self I left behind
In west garden.
Oh, please look at me.
Won’t you look at me?
Everything is great.
That’s a fucking plea.
Sometimes I just drive around that place
For some peace of mind,
For some piece of my-
self I left behind
In west garden.
How are you today?
I am doing fine.
Everything is great.
That’s fucking lie.
Sometimes I just drive around that place
For some peace of mind,
For some piece of my-
self I left behind
In west garden.
Oh, please look at me.
Won’t you look at me?
Everything is great.
That’s a fucking plea.
Sometimes I just drive around that place
For some peace of mind,
For some piece of my-
self I left behind
In west garden.

I don’t mean to worry you,
There’re just no words for the deepest blues.
Avoiding mirrors takes too much from me.
If I could find a way somehow
To kill the thing that drags me down,
I’d kill it dead,
I’d murder it right now.
Monsters find
Places to hide.
But rest assured,
I hope for more.
(Blast off!)
I don’t want to die
But sometimes I think that I might
Just want to blast off to the moon and never come down. (Come down!)
Up there all alone
I’d watch you prosper down below
And I’d know something that I’d done had finally worked out. (Blast off!)
The blackest skies are filled with light
Even though they’ve been blocked from my sight.
I wish like hell I could see it clear.
But monsters die and mirrors break,
Wishes and gardens grow and change.
If applied to me, there’d be nothing to fear.
I’m so scared
All the time.
But rest assured,
I hope for more.
(Blast off!)
I don’t want to die
But sometimes I think that I might
Just want to blast off to the moon and never come down. (Come down!)
Up there all alone
I’d watch you prosper down below
And I’d know something that I’d done had finally worked out. (Blast off!)
In the dark and
Cold of space
You’ll probably worry
If I can take this,
But back on Earth,
Even on my best days,
I faced harder enemies.
The longest, coldest, bitter days,
Suffering over what I don’t say,
Only listening to the monster in my head
And not to rationality.
So say goodbye, I’m blasting into space.
I don’t want to die
But sometimes I think that I might
Just want to blast off to the moon and never come down. (Come down!)
Up there all alone
I’d watch you prosper down below
And I’d know something that I’d done had finally worked out. (Blast off!)
I don’t want to die
But sometimes I think that I might
Just want to blast off to the moon and never come down.
Up there all alone
I’d watch you prosper down below
And I’ll know something that I’d done had finally worked out.
I don’t want to die!
I don’t want to die!
I don’t want to die!
I don’t want to die!
I don’t want to die!
I don’t want to die!
