When I see your face

Your eyes don't belong

I see myself in it too

That's our monsters getting along.

 

That's them taking control of us

Forcing their blood from our lips

Showing their thoughts in our eyes

Shrouding our love in its mist.

 

Who came first, I'll never know

Why we can't control it, I'll have to see

Why it pulls me so far below

why there is a monster living within me.

 

Maybe there's ore than one

Living in different parts of us

Or maybe it's just an excuse

Of our uncontrollable disgusts.

 

And we can't control them in the moment

But we see them after we leave

After we hurt each other once more

After I say I don't believe.

 

Your monster loves mine

But my mind cringes at your thought

My heart screams and screams with you around

But I can never understand its talk.

 

Are you good?  Am I bad?

Is there a hope we could have had

Of finding someone else with this beast,

or another sould to eat another feast?

 

When we thought they stayed beneath the bed

We could see each others' bright eyes without any doubts

Think of the birth of new lives

Not thinking of incoming despair and soulless clouds.

 

Again, I saw it in your eyes

Pushing all the way to your fingertips

Pushing me beyond my edge

every time you swung I kept hoping you'd miss.

 

Yet I can't help but know

You wouldn't do it alone

It can't have come out of the blue,

You saw it in me first, didn't you?

 

My monster must die

But I'm afraid it's killed me first

There's nothing to stay for me

But your blood quenches its thirst.

 

We have to release the pain

Get away from me, and let your own go

But if you ever think of me again,

I'll never stop thinking of you, you know.

 

You ahve it so much harder, my friend.

Just tell me how to help

So my monster won't rip you to shreds

And we can understand how we both felt

 

No more monsters.

No more tears.

No more friendships ended.

You know that I'm here.

 

I don't want my monster to stay

Even if it keeps me alive

It will not control me

Somehow, my spirit will arise.

 

You will return too,

It's in your heart.

When you reach your eyes again,

We can smile, for a start...
