Monsters

(album: The Way It Ends - 2020)

We're stuck in the same old standstill again
Sick of waiting for you to feel it
Always waiting for the next breakdown to begin
Scared of getting too complicated

What a shame
Hiding in your shell again
Bitter, fucked out of better days
And missed opportunities
I don't wanna hear that the times are changing
I'm the same as I've always been
Why can't you see
Are you even listening to me?

I am not the one to blame for the monsters we've become
Get in or get out
I don't care, but don't waste my time
Stand by my side or you can move on with your life

Burnt out
Enslaved I'm left carry a weight that has me
Worn down
In doubt I'm left to drown with no oxygen
Burnt out
Drain me until there's nothing left to bleed
Burdened by the chains and too exhausted to run away

I gave you everything
You spit it back in my face
It never meant anything
Left me to swallow the pain
So much for the dream

What a shame
Hiding in your shell again
Bitter, fucked out of better days
Missed opportunities
I don't wanna hear that the times are changing
I'm the same as I've always been
Why can't you see
Are you even listening to me?

I am not the one to blame for the monsters we've become
Get in or get out
I don't care, but don't waste my time
Stand by my side or you can move on with your life

You took what you could just to throw me away

I gave you everything
So much for the dream
I gave you everything
