The Monster That I Once Killed
Oh you're hungry for the city lights
But you don't know the price
Oh the grass ain't always greener on the other side
Where the monsters hide
Where the kids don't cry in the dark
We could dance in the graveyard
Sleep in the park
Under the swing set where you broke my heart
And when we wake in the morning forget who we are
Hide in a daydream
A daydream-a daydream- a daydream
Gone
I'm in a haze
We lost ourselves from the inside out
I'm trying to change
But the hole in my heart is alive and well
The memory fades like a book that we left on the shelf
I think I'm afraid that I'm becoming the monster that I once killed
I'm becoming the monster that I once killed
I'm becoming the monster that I once killed
I hate this city but I don't know why
I need a coastline drive
I'm coming over
Oh I see you on the other side when I close my eyes
We were kids getting high in the park
But now you sleep in the graveyard
Awake in the dark
Forever a nightmare like a work of art
But when I wake in the morning can't forget where you are
Forever a daydream
A daydream-a daydream- a daydream
You're gone
I'm in a haze
I lost myself from the inside out
I'm trying to change
But the hole in my heart is alive and well
The memory fades like a book that we left on the shelf
I think I'm afraid that I'm becoming the monster that I once killed
I'm becoming the monster that I once killed
I'm becoming the monster that I once killed
I'm becoming the monster that I once killed
I'm becoming the monster that I once killed
But you don't know the price
Oh the grass ain't always greener on the other side
Where the monsters hide
Where the kids don't cry in the dark
We could dance in the graveyard
Sleep in the park
Under the swing set where you broke my heart
And when we wake in the morning forget who we are
Hide in a daydream
A daydream-a daydream- a daydream
Gone
I'm in a haze
We lost ourselves from the inside out
I'm trying to change
But the hole in my heart is alive and well
The memory fades like a book that we left on the shelf
I think I'm afraid that I'm becoming the monster that I once killed
I'm becoming the monster that I once killed
I'm becoming the monster that I once killed
I hate this city but I don't know why
I need a coastline drive
I'm coming over
Oh I see you on the other side when I close my eyes
We were kids getting high in the park
But now you sleep in the graveyard
Awake in the dark
Forever a nightmare like a work of art
But when I wake in the morning can't forget where you are
Forever a daydream
A daydream-a daydream- a daydream
You're gone
I'm in a haze
I lost myself from the inside out
I'm trying to change
But the hole in my heart is alive and well
The memory fades like a book that we left on the shelf
I think I'm afraid that I'm becoming the monster that I once killed
I'm becoming the monster that I once killed
I'm becoming the monster that I once killed
I'm becoming the monster that I once killed
I'm becoming the monster that I once killed
