I Feel Like a Monster

Sometimes I feel like a monster

I can’t touch a thing and it not get hurt

all my words are breathing fire

there’s a wolf bursting through my shirt

God I want to touch you

but I don’t want to watch you bruise

you know I feel like a monster

whenever I make you life worse.

I wish you’d set fire to this castle

the one I’ve been hiding in

maybe then I’d fly into the night

right then I could catch you in the wind

maybe I would never let you fall

just like I always seem to do

and I hope that when you hit the ground

that you forgive monsters too.

I think I’m gonna tear this village down

I don’t like it here without you

so won’t you get your torches and your pitchforks

and use them to tear me apart

you know I’ve never thought you were a monster

even if you side with this town

see monsters we can hurt each other

deeper than the any stake in my heart.

Sometimes I feel like a monster

I can’t touch a thing and it not get hurt

all my words are breathing fire

there’s a wolf bursting through my shirt

God I want to touch you

but I don’t want to watch you bruise

you know I feel like a monster

whenever I make you life worse.
