Gods & Monsters

Examining the floor
I can feel the venom leaving your pores
Am I the matador
Leave me in the ring
‘Til I’m scaling the wall
And I can’t wait to dream
In a space that doesn’t feel like
It’s bursting at the seams
Doesn’t make me wanna scream
Doesn’t make me have to
Get loose to blow off steam

Cause you scream the house down
Til the windows shatter
If you can get a reaction
Then maybe it means you matter to me
This doesn’t feel free

Well this is my gun now
And you’ve become my war
These words are my soldiers
I don’t need you anymore

Oh you’re preaching to the choir
I already know we’re
hanging on a loose wire
We’re sinking in the mire
and everything you say
is blowing air on the fire
We’ve been dancing in the flames
Reaching for the matches
Ignoring the pain
Move it over to your lane
Maybe your little performance
Will get you some fame

Cause you scream the house down
Til the windows shatter
If you can get a reaction
Then maybe it means you matter to me
I just wanna be free

Well this is my gun now
And you’ve become my war
These words are my soldiers
I don’t need you anymore

You’re not gonna be the reason I fall apart

Told him I like the sinners
He played me like a game
I sat on the fence with the winners
But I’d rather be dancing with him in the rain

Says he’s a none believer
But I know where he’ll go when he dies
Oh I’m not the purest either
I guess I’ll be laying by his side

He’s a god I’m a monster x2

Somewhere in between I don’t care
And a sad little work of art
I follow like a dog up the stairs
Knowing what he’d do to my heart
And I have to feel this
This is who I am
I am the beaten, and he is damned

He’s a god I’m a monster x2

Oh Jezebel
Your cards are on the table
You should probably
Keep them close to your chest

He’s a god I’m a monster x2

Told him I like the sinners
He played me like a game
I sat on the fence with the winners
But I’d rather be dancing with him in the rain.

I need to make some money
and get out of here
I need to be somebody to kill this fear of feeling like nobody
what a lonely thing to be
I’m dancing in a river and it’s flowing fast
I’m torn between the future
and the distant past
I’m trying to open up but I’m scared of what I’ll see

I’m being, believing
My right hand
Is bleeding
See me, hear me
These demons
Should fear me
I’ve got all the right words
But the words aren’t coming out
You’re on the tip of my tongue
But I can’t get you out of my mouth

I used to be afraid of what I’d become
The light of the moon
only comes from the sun
I’m waning a crescent
You show the full in me
I’m talking to much
And I’m thinking too less
I’m trying so hard
But it’s still not my best
I’m caught in your heart but I’ve never
Felt more free

I’m being, believing
My right hand
Is bleeding
See me, hear me
These demons
Should fear me
I’ve got all the right words
But the words aren’t coming out
You’re on the tip of my tongue
But I can’t get you out of my mouth

I need to make some money
and get out of here
I need to be somebody to kill this fear of feeling like nobody
what a lonely thing to be

I’m being, believing
My right hand
Is bleeding
See me, hear me
These demons
Should fear me

I’ve got all the right words
But the words aren’t coming out x2

By the grace of god
This falling star
Promised no pain
Before it broke my heart
There’s a line between us
Of which I’m bound
I’m your favourite word
You're my favourite sound

Remembering why I came
To love you, to love you
Every time you say my name
It’s a virtue, it’s a virtue
Adrenaline in my veins
I’m at gunpoint
You’re the pistol
Turning the others away
For this love, for this love

And by the grace of god
This morning star
Electric to your lightning
Danger to the dark
There’s a canyon forming
Don’t slip away
You need my night
Like I need your day

Remembering why I came
To love you, to love you
Every time you say my name
It’s a virtue, it’s a virtue
Adrenaline in my veins
I’m at gunpoint
You’re the pistol
Turning the others away
For this love, for this love

Don’t be running from it, it’s only a comet
This love this love x4
