Once more
I lie on the floor as you dress
my hair’s all a mess and you’ve left
your scent on my sheets
once again
to remind me at night
of where you once were
and how you haunt all my dreams
You’re a monster, baby
cold eyes and cold heart
when you tear me apart
I feel your claws
crawling beneath my skin
Yes, I’ll admit
I lose far before you begin
to carve my heart from my chest
you’re the best at what you do
You make me certain I’m alive
when you take your sweet time
I’m not surprised
at the way death shines in your eyes
You’re a monster, baby
Do you even taste the blood
that coats your lips
as your fingers slip over my skin?
Have you figured out why I let you in
again and again
Has it crossed your mind at all
why I fall for the lies
and those pretty puppy dog eyes
Do you think that you’re so clever?
Have you really never considered
that I simply love the thrill
of my kiss
turning you into this?
I’m a monster, baby
eating your soul
and controlling your sins
Drawing blood from your hips
sucking with lips
that pass your name like venom
Oh yes,
we make such a pretty pair
that Despair sits to watch
Oh yes,
Misery’s in good company
sitting between you and me
We’re monsters, baby
and you know we won’t stop
until we’ve destroyed one another
angels who have not fallen
but dragged each other purposefully downward
into the dark
beneath our children’s beds.
