What is this we’re looking at?
Can we put it in a frame?
The fact that everything is our fault,
Is too much to bear
So we’ll pin it all on luck.

And you said; well, someone’s taking all the blame now,
But it won’t be me!
How do you expect me to get to sleep?
If I can’t keep my conscience clean.

Well if you’ve seen enough that’s haunting, love.
Just try and keep those eyes open wide, from
The dreams that are keeping you up at night
You know the one that makes you shake.

But if those eyes get hungry,
Oh and you know that they will.
Well news is on its way cause
The paper gets printed every morning,
And it will be waiting at your door

But before you go and read it, love
You should keep your nose from the page
Cause all that ink is poison and when it dries
It leaves the bite behind

And I don’t care what some column says
The stars don’t hold no future
Cause if they knew everything
They would know they were already dead.

So stop wishing on them, darlin’
They don’t know that they’re liars
and they’ll still sparkle at every wish that you make
But I know it’s hard to handle, love
When you learn that the truth was all lies
But there are some things so blatantly clear
That you cannot hide your ears from forever
And someday soon, they will hear

Well it might make me a monster, love
But I’ll stand in the sun
And I’ll put everything that I’ve done
Resting at my feet
And with my hands and my mouth I’ll scream you this song
Oh, just to grab your attention

And while I’m glowing over
What I’ve done
Then maybe you’ll see then
I’m not the only one
And that maybe we’re all monsters in our own way
I know, I know love it’s so disappointing
To say it out loud

Well my monster my love
At night we’ll hide under all the covers
And in the day light we’ll hide
deep in the closets
Cause that’s were we’re all living anyway
