Monster
His dark eyes shone under the light of the moon
His body reaked a dreadful, frightening odor
And his words screeched an awful sign of danger
His shadow in the night lingers in the room
Rope burning through my arms and ankles
Tape covering my mouth...
A cold bite mark upon my neck
Maybe just the one, or two...
Sharp teeth, red eyes...
He's a monster.... -

Why?
Why?
I thought you were there.
I thought you were true.
I thought you were near.
Why?
Why did you betray me?
Why did you let me believe I could trust you?
I'm drifting away, I'm drowning, can't you see?
Why?
I'm falling apart and no one knows.
You ignore and pretend you were never my friend.
I'm barely surviving life, the highs and the lows.
Why?
Why did you pretend?
Only to let go again?
Now I think I will never mend.
Why?
Now I'm alone, forgotten.
You left me hee, now I'm dyin'.
Why? -
*here not hee

You were long gone by the time I got up for the show
And your name's hardly in the papers anymore
Were you already over the edge when I came around?
Sit still and listen to the echo's sound
Is that you beating the drums, making so much noise?
Temper rising, tension frightening, perfect boys, perfect ploys
And hey, that's okay, I mean it's not like I stayed
Up all night, every night, waiting to see if you were okay
You're some one else'e now, I'll be just fine
But maybe you'll wander back here in time
Looking back now you wouldn't remember my name
Your life's going smooth, married now with a baby on the way
Can't pick up the pieces 'cause you haven't looked at this puzzle in years
Holding onto the box despite the criticism of my peers
Who knew diving in headfirst would be a bad bet?
But I'm dusting off my jeans to have a go with some one else I've met
Hey, I'm okay, not great but moving on
Staying up late to dance, dance to some one else's song
You won't notice but I'm better than fine
And maybe I'll think to visit sometime
Hey hey, I'm okay, just great and moved right on
I can barely remember, it's been so long
Letting go of the echoes and that's just fine
But you're still the record repeating in my mind
I'll try not to look back and follow the charts
Always remember when bass was louder than guitar
