Monster
And after years of weathering storms
after dodging all the bullets
white knuckle rides through rain
And We stand in a clearing
I think that now is the time you hold me...
But when a fire burns through a man
they all run away
No one feels sorry, no one feels sad
They all put their guard up, they all protect their feelings
Because "mad" can have two meanings
Here I sit sorting through embers
Hoping that something still burns inside me
I've got nothing left to light my way.
I call out with my sad voice
I shout out demanding
If I should scream and frighten you
Still save me
Rescue me
Isn't now the time you rescue me?
And its an old old story
The monster always frighten everyone,
But is just as afraid inside.
But I've seen the ending
And they kill him anyway
Because even the little girls who understand
Won't grow up with a monster
Won't be seen with monsters
Would never marry monsters
I call out with my sad voice
I shout out demanding
If I should scream and frighten you
Still save me
Rescue me
Isn't now the time you rescue me?
No its just another chapter
Turn the page and follow with me
Another drama is just up ahead
And you put on your coat again and shiver from its cold
I'm sifting through the ashes
Trying to find an ember
Because at least then I had something
Something to keep me warm
I call out with my sad voice
I shout out demanding
If I should scream and frighten you
Still save me
Rescue me
Isn't now the time you rescue me?
And little girls who see through monsters
They've grown up and lost their vision
Because the "day to day" is more pressing
And they live in the "real world"
And I still believe in fairy tales (apparently)
That the calvary is still coming
And the frog has met his princess
And I know what you're saying even
though you haven't said it
Just let me sort through ashes
And leave hieroglyphs as warnings:
Because fires burn for reasons
Because coats aren't warm alone
And fires burn for reasons yet unknown
I call out with my sad voice
I shout out demanding
If I should scream and frighten you
Still save me
Rescue me
Isn't now the time you rescue me?`
