Monsters making monsters
Out of people who would otherwise
Be perfect and laughing in the mirror
If the person lookin back
was not convinced
they were a monster
And told to be more fearful
Of the way they interact
with the world
That turned them into monsters In the first place
I see it in the red eyes of every person I walk by
I hear it from my monster friends and my heart breaks for them
Monsters making monsters out of people
Who would otherwise be people
Unconcerned and unafraid
Of the growing crowds of pitchforks
And torches at their doorsteps
It’s hard to be more cheerful
When you were once dead
But You reanimated yourself and now you’re alive
And they still want you to die
Frankenstein wanted to be recognized
For his humanity
Let me be the first one to go
I’ll donate my body to science
Everlasting life is
Something thing I’d die for
All my monster friends alive forever and ever

I think my house is haunted
Every time you leave a shadow appears
In the corner of my eye
And it watches me from my bedside
I wanna hold you like a ghost
Holds a planchette
Spelling words out for you to interpret
Tattooed letters circled on your skin
Secret messages not meant for the living
Do you hear them too
Are you scared to face the truth
*that we’re stuck in endless loops
Making grooves for future hauntings after we’re gone
I think our love is haunted
When you come on over
Things just fall off the shelves
The spectres love a mess
I think we should be kinder to ourselves
I wish you’d hold me like the broom you hold in your hands
Sweeping up all evidence of the damage
Cracked and broken pieces of porcelain
Fit back together like nothing ever happened
I can feel the air change
When you are near me
I am not scared
Of spirits laughing at our folly
And taunting us
From realms beyond ours
Can you feel it too
Are you scared to face the truth
*that we’re stuck in endless loops
Making grooves for future hauntings after we’re gone
