Creature
The whole world is already on fire
And I missed my chance to strike the match
High and alone in my pretty prison
That I built with my own two hands
Drunk and asleep
Drunk and asleep
I walked and I crawled down Valencia Street
Valencia Street and now there's no way back
I saw your eyes see my eyes
I saw your hands shackle my hands
I tried to take what wasn't given
You looked away
You shook your head
I was a thief
I was a thief
Who sold what she stole
In the shadows so deep
Shadows so deep
They went from blue to black
We're all gonna die anyway
Like a wolf in a trap who devours himself
Just to get away
I felt my hand slide off the wheel
I felt my foot
Push hard on the gas
I heard myself say "this isn't real"
Just before I heard the crash
I put up my hair
I rose from the floor
I was dressed in the skins
Of the creatures before
The creatures before
And I could hear them laugh
Watch out for old age
It will cut your throat
It will drink your blood
It will ask for more
It will ask for more and there's always more
And I missed my chance to strike the match
High and alone in my pretty prison
That I built with my own two hands
Drunk and asleep
Drunk and asleep
I walked and I crawled down Valencia Street
Valencia Street and now there's no way back
I saw your eyes see my eyes
I saw your hands shackle my hands
I tried to take what wasn't given
You looked away
You shook your head
I was a thief
I was a thief
Who sold what she stole
In the shadows so deep
Shadows so deep
They went from blue to black
We're all gonna die anyway
Like a wolf in a trap who devours himself
Just to get away
I felt my hand slide off the wheel
I felt my foot
Push hard on the gas
I heard myself say "this isn't real"
Just before I heard the crash
I put up my hair
I rose from the floor
I was dressed in the skins
Of the creatures before
The creatures before
And I could hear them laugh
Watch out for old age
It will cut your throat
It will drink your blood
It will ask for more
It will ask for more and there's always more
