21st Century Monster

(альбом: Modern Mythology - 2022)

I am
The other side of the mirror
The glasses seeing you clearer
One last time
Last stand
Where the years stood still in the basement
When heaven can't build a replacement
For what's mine
Control
Of horrors and knowledge of old
A tethering power to hold

I sold my soul for you
Stole for you
Been my own enemy
Just to light your eyes
I am the animal that
Feeds for you
Needs for you
Amalgamation of
The healer that I was
And everything I am

I am
The hopeless romantic that's lost her
A new 21st century monster
Growing near
Don't run
I promise it's not what it looks like
I'm battered from winning the last fight
Calm your fear
So cold
A cosmos of magic untold
With nothing but ashes to hold

Would you believe
I sold my soul for you
Stole for you
Been my own enemy
Just to light your eyes
I am the animal that
Feeds for you
Needs for you
Amalgamation of
The healer that I was
And everything I am

My composure in stitches
A king among witches
Holding only an audience with bones
I sucked in the light
And won every fight
But we fade in this black hole alone
To someone beyond this
I reach out for solace
I'll speak through fabric of space
Our hope of escaping
I'm screaming and scraping
With tears on this old monster's face

I sold my soul for you
Stole for you
Been my own enemy
Just to light your eyes
I am the animal that
Feeds for you
Needs for you
Amalgamation of
The healer that I was
And everything I am
