Grendel

I've always been one to wear my heart on my sleeve
But these eggshells that I walk on make it hard to breathe
I wish I wasn't so Goddamn intense
These pills are helping but it's, no, no, it's not a defense
No, it's not a defense
You're everything to me, but I could never say it
You're the Rock to my Sea, but I know I don't deserve it
So I'll sit here so still, the wrong move will crush us
I'll keep my lips sealed, the wrong words will break us

Poor Grendel had an accident
Misunderstood and a wreck, no empathy for good intent
Poor Grendel had an accident
I walk alone but I'm content, save yourself from my own mess
Poor Grendel had an accident
Poor Grendel had an accident

But there is no "us", and that ship has sailed
And everything I touch, oh no no, it's far too frail
I squeeze out the life; I'm a giant so alone
I try to be careful not to break your bones
Ooo, your bones
But if I'm so powerful, oh, how can it be
How can you have this hold, this hold over me
Maybe it's Karma; bow my head in defeat
I thought that this would pass, but I'm still at your feet

Poor Grendel had an accident
Misunderstood and a wreck, no empathy for good intent
Poor Grendel had an accident
I walk alone but I'm content, save yourself from my own mess
Poor Grendel had an accident
Poor Grendel had an accident

I survived in my head
I did time, but I fled
Well, keep on drinking your mead
I'm so done with Beowulf's greed
Goodbye Herot
I'm letting you go
Goodbye Herot
Well, I'm letting you go
