Monster
I met a monster
That I had to befriend
If I didn't then I know
It would eat me
In the end
So I live with a truth
And it feels like a lie
Cuz it's better
To be honest
Than to curl up
And die
When the monster inside
Starts demanding
I feel I could
Devour whole planets
If I let it
It'll feast
On the universe
So I keep it on a leash
And I eat my words
Ain't always easy
With this hunger inside
It's ravenous
It feeds on my wonder
And pride
There's a strength
That is takes
Just to fight it everyday
They say it takes
All the brightest lights away
Imma fight it
Til I just can't
Fight no more
And I feed it
Just enough
It won't bite the door
If I starve it
It'll tear down the walls
Real quick
Better just to keep
It alive and content
No epic battles
No heroic defeats
Just me and myself
And the beast that I keep
So I feed it just enough
Just to keep it from my heart
If it reaches it
I know
I'll be torn apart
Have you ever met a monster
That you you had to befriend
If you didn't
Then you know
It would eat you in the end
So you live with a truth
And it feels like a lie
Cuz it's better
To be honest
Than to curl up and die
Have you ever met a monster
That you you had to befriend
If you didn't
Then you know
It would eat you in the end
So you live with a truth
And it feels like a lie
Cuz it's better
To be honest
Than to curl up and die
It's gettin pretty bad today
Good god what a hunger
It makes me panic
And display
The signs of goin under
Sometimes I have to sit and breathe
And let it all pass
It's never forever
But how long will it last
How fast will it return
Will it win this time
I can't let it waste
My whole lifelong grind
I fought it so long
Didn't know
What to call it
I never really
Saw myself
As alcoholic
Then I find that
It feeds
On everything I touch
So I stay well aware
I don't touch too much
They say abstinence
Is the only way
But how do you abstain
When it's everything
So I hug it up
And love it
Cuz I got no choice
It feeds on his friendship
It feeds on his voice
So I hope
That this music
Will keep it at bay
And I sing
Just enough
Just to breathe for today
Have you ever met a monster
That you you had to befriend
If you didn't
Then you know
It would eat you in the end
So you live with a truth
And it feels like a lie
Cuz it's better
To be honest
Than to curl up and die
Have you ever met a monster
That you you had to befriend
If you didn't
Then you know
It would eat you in the end
So you live with a truth
And it feels like a lie
Cuz it's better
To be honest
