Monster

Who is the monster
 That swallowed up the kid
 Buried deep inside
 Where your heart lived before?
 Who is the monster
 That beats behind your eyes
 Hungry as religion
 Wanting more, more, more?
 But now I wake in the back of the family car
 Desert Storm on NPR
 Though I am 11, I know my depression
 Even better than my reflection
 And I was never good with images
 So I never had what it takes to
 Put the visions into words
 You wouldn't mistake
 I shake, shake, shake but can't shake the dream
 I shake, shake, shake but can't shake the dream
 I shake, shake, shake but can't shake the dream
 And now I've shed my every scale
 A monster swallows up its tail
 In a shape I know, but I know I've never seen
 Who is the monster
 Becoming all the kids?
 A hot and hungry coil
 With nothing at the core
 Who is the monster
 Pulling across the sand
 Can we run away, run away, run away
 Isn't that what running's for?
 But now I
 I wake up again when I hear Public Enemy
 For the first time, it's infecting me
 I am weaponry made for the worst time
 No, no, no, no
 Did you ever wish that decade or century
 Was all just a reverie
 And if every day was an ache, it's okay
 One day, you'd wake?
 I shake, shake, shake but can't shake the dream
 I shake, shake, shake but can't shake the dream
 I shake, shake, shake but can't shake the dream
 And now I've shed my every scale
 A monster swallows up its tail
 In a shape I know, but I know I've never seen
 Under the dull brown sun of life in quarantine
 Run away, run away, run away
 Run away, run away, run away
 You can run away, run away, run away
 But who is the monster?
 Run away, run away, run away
 Run away, run away, run away
 You can run away, run away, run away
 But who is the monster?
 Run away, run away, run away
 You can run away, run away, run away
 You can run away, run away, run away, run away
 But who is the-, who is the-, who is the monster?
 Who is the monster?
