Monsters

Muddy boots and an old coat hang by the pane

Compact from a blackened rain

White teeth with their single goal, no control

Pull me over the edge of the world

The hunt's been on for days, I'm wide awake

They'll snatch me up in my sleep

I'm carried into the depths of a cave

Where not a single soul could be saved

And I could see it from before

That they were wanting more and more

Not an ounce of mercy was stored

In that hardened heart of yours:: c h o r u s::

From my bed one night, I could see the searching lights

In a muted dream I couldn't even scream

And all I heard was the numbing sound of defeat

I'm what he seeks

The monster hasn't eaten in weeks

In a bleak and unlit cage, I am afraid

They lead me on in a death parade

And by now I've forgotten the time of day

It doesn't matter much anyway

Out of the darkness I could see

That he mistakenly left me the key

And to escape all I would need

Were my own two hands to rightly flee
