Monster

from Preproduction Tracks by Madre Padre

lyrics

call a doctor i need saving
wild animals in disguise
they paint on masks and trim back horns
madness creeping up my spine

they test my pity and my patience
head nods as i bargain with the door
can't delude myself with education
melting a away with every spore

i've been talking in my sleep again
and dirty skeletons crawl right back in
these walls are paper thin
i see you lurking through the streets with him
and the ceiling just keeps breathing in rhythm as it spins

but try as i might i just can't seem to fight
these monsters away from me

the line between cure and a poison
blurs with how much you take
these evil demons creep around me
gnawing at my heels to steal a taste

i've been talking in my sleep again
and dirty skeletons crawl right back in
these walls are paper thin
i see you lurking through the streets with him
and the ceiling just keeps breathing in rhythm as it spins

but try as i might i just can't seem to fight
these monsters away from me

don't put up a fight,
let it sink in,
with just one finger
the struggle it grows
with every twist
deeper and deeper

i've been talking in my sleep again
and dirty skeletons crawl right back in
these walls are paper thin
i see you lurking through the streets with him
and the ceiling just keeps breathing in rhythm as it spins
but try as i might i just can't seem to fight
these monsters away from me
