Blue Eyed Monster

White shirt, long vest
A nice handkerchief, I stare behind him
My new home, my youth ends
And there's a brewing war that's on our doorstep
He's first and you're next
My only cousin, we can hold this burden
A few coins, a lot of debt
Maybe it's better that your father's dead

How many times did his hate
Leave us crumbling down, down
How many times would he rage
As we cowered on the ground, the ground

Don't be ashamed of the Blue-eyed monster
Blue-eyed monster, oh
He may be in your nightmares now
But stick with me, we'll figure it out
You're not the same as the Blue-eyed monster
Blue-eyed monster

Years pass, we push through
I mend a shirt from the man who made you
My passions, my pursuits
Aren't enough to fund the life we're used to
Then she sings, and you snow
And you're expelled for doing wrong, but I know
That you're good, but now that you're back
And she's gone, you know I have to ask

How many times has your hate
Led you crumbling down, down
How many times did you rage
Did she cower on the ground?
Is she still around?

You're not ashamed of the blue-eyed monster
Blue-eyed monster, oh
Gray colors my nightmares now
And you tell me just to figure it out
Now, you're the same as the blue-eyed monster
Blue-eyed monster, oh

Tiger stripes and quarter quells
I spent decades lost within myself
And while you burned our whole world down
I dance with rebels in the districts now
That I gave what I knew
For the girl who reminds me of you
And her or maybe who I thought you were

Yes I'm ashamed of the blue-eyed monsters
Blue-eyed monsters
But I'm not afraid of the blue-eyed monsters
Blue-eyed monsters
They're still in my nightmares now
But I'll sleep knowing I brought them down
I'm not the same as the blue-eyed monsters
Blue-eyed monsters
I'm not the same as the blue-eyed monsters
Blue-eyed monsters
