frightens the baby (demo)

Theres a new little monster
That wants to be fed
And i cant give it much
From inside of my head

So i stray from my comfort zone
Open the door
To beg at its maker
To give me some more
Crumbs of attention
Signs of affection i wont go to low
But i might bend a little at times
When its not offered freely
Believe me i know i'll be fine
But it frightens the baby
I know i'll be fine
But it frightens the baby
I know i'll be fine

And as it grows stronger
I hope it lasts longer
It learns that the risk of starvation
Is not a real threat
Cause the whole baby monster is only imagining
The pace of its growth can be steady and slow i know

Still I'm starved and you're everything I'm hungry for
I kinda want him around
Will he kill us
The longer he goes without making a sound
I'll stand on my own two feet
But that doesn't mean i don't always want something to eat

Takes two to keep this alive
But we're tired and busy
And broken and split by a drive
And i know i cant force it to thrive
But if you don't kill it
I'll trust you don't want it to die

You told me i could try
You told me i could fight
Did you think i would've failed
Is the monster gonna die
You told me i could try
You told me i could fight
Did you think i wouldn't fail
Is the monster gonna die

I know you'd hate this
But i wonder if astrology
Tried to send me a sign
I know you hate the way
You gave me a way to get back
I watched you change your mind

You made promises too soon
I made guarantees too late
Put a damper on the month of June
But at least i can say i've been on a date

I kinda want him around
Will he kill us
The longer he goes without making a sound
I'll stand on my own two feet
But that doesn't mean i don't always want something to eat
Takes two to keep this alive
But we're tired and busy and broken and split by a drive
And i know i cant force it to thrive
And if you don't feed it i know that you want it to die
And i know i cant force it to thrive
And if you can't feed it i know that you want it to die
But if you wont kill it then how can i just let it die
