Monsters Songtext
von Rumbletramp

There′s a monster scraping raking at the contours of my brain
Scratches at my skeleton like steady pouring rain
I'm always anxious for the time it rears its ugly head
I curl up and can′t get up and wish that I were dead

There's a ghastly, gory furnace in me stealing all my energy
It burns and screams on coffee, cigarettes cocaine and whiskey
I've run away from it before only to find it somewhere else
The smoke stalking the songbird as she sings her way to hell


I′d like some better tenants than these monsters in my organs
They leave me screaming hoarsely and my friends bloody and torn
I wanna say I′m sorry beg forgiveness from the ground
The words are nothing more than smoke and ash, my guts become unwound

There's a monster in my feet, thrashing gnashing all its teeth
The only time its sated is when I′m walking away
I tried to drown that monster in the water by the beach
Held it down with all my strength; it drug me underneath

There's a monster in my heart that doesn′t know how to be loved
It's frightened by sympathy and longings for longevity
When it gets scared it claws the walls to the beating of my pulse
Rattles through my veins like trains on sutures in my skull


I′d like some better tenants than these monsters in my organs
They leave me screaming hoarsely and my friends bloody and torn
I wanna say I'm sorry beg forgiveness from the ground
The words are nothing more than smoke and ash, my guts become unwound
