Lyrics

I'm a monster

I acknowledge and accept that I have monstrous qualities.

I am on fire, I'm blooming, baby

I am passionate and thriving, possibly in a transformative way.

Why don't you care for me anymore?

I feel a lack of care from you, and it bothers me.

Just like the morning when you're gone

The absence of you feels like a lonely morning.

I've been believing that you'll carry me away

I have had faith that you would rescue me, but the expected help is not evident.

But I don't see no horse, and no carriage

No tangible signs of rescue are apparent, like a horse and carriage.


There must be more to life than this

Expressing a desire for a more meaningful existence.

Am I a fool to believe that maybe

Questioning if it's foolish to hope for positive change.

If I could shift these parts around

Contemplating a transformative change in oneself.

By catalysis or brawn I'd get something back?

Wondering if effort or strength will yield a worthwhile outcome.

Keep me high, keep me thin

Desiring elevation and a slender appearance.

Carry on, keep it in

Encouraging oneself to persevere and internalize emotions.


But I don't feel nothing, anymore

Feeling a sense of emotional numbness.

I don't feel nothing, anymore

Reiterating the lack of emotional sensation.

I try to keep my head on straight

Attempting to maintain composure despite emotional detachment.

But I don't feel nothing, anymore

Confirming the ongoing emotional numbness.


I don't feel nothing, anymore

Reiterating the persistent lack of emotional response.

I don't feel nothing, anymore

Emphasizing the continued absence of emotional feelings.

I try, I try to keep my head on straight

Struggling to maintain emotional balance despite the emptiness.

But I don't feel nothing, anymore

Reiterating the challenge of feeling nothing despite efforts to stay composed.
