My darkest dreams always start like this
The burning fires and the pumping fists
I can’t disguise nor hide no more
Now you get the monster show

You burn my house down and you shout for me
No you can’t fathom what you’ll see
If I oblige your need to know
Then you get the monster show

So I’ll grin, bare my teeth
Show the world what’s inside of me
I just ate the heart of the one I love
Gnash down as she thrashes around

You drag me down and you kick my frame
You beat my body and you pull my mane
But once I get hold I don’t let go
Welcome to the monster show

So I’ll grin, bare my teeth
Show the world what’s inside of me
I just ate the heart of the one I loved
Gnash down as she thrashes around
Biting down

All the frowning faces I have seen
Pushed the monster deeper inside me
Can’t predict or know when it will get control
So sit back, enjoy the monster show

It doesn’t have to end this way
Just let me be, I’ll stay away
But you’ll always follow where I go
Guess you like the monster show

She wears her short skirt like a uniform
She’s not a school girl she’s been around
Another fantasy, it seems
Can’t compare with those yet to be found

I’m amazed by the babes
I’m in love with the girls
Assaulting my eyes
Salt in my eyes
As she walks in on her legs
Her intoxicant curves are
Assaulting my eyes
Like salt in my eyes

Salt in my eyes

You can bet your wicked mouth all I’m sayin’ is true
And I can’t believe the accusations coming my way
So I’ll say it once again, girl there’s no one but you
I’m telling the truth to you

All my thoughts have been laid bare
Like the threads of a screw have been stripped
So I can fit in anywhere now
But I can’t make it stick

If I keep looking over things that haven’t happened
Though they may be alive to my eyes
My own lies
I don’t have to tell myself who I am when I believe
My own lies
Salt in my eyes

Salt in my eyes

I swore all the hours of the night I’d been faithful and true
And I’ve never woke the liar I am today
So I’ll say it again, by god girl there’s no one but you
I’m telling the truth to you

I’ll see you as the seas are rising
And all my lying ways have come to naught
And as the guilty waters rise I feel that salt spray in my eyes
I’m drowning for you

Better take your time
Before you take it on
You can take a trip so far from here
But you can’t take it away from your world

And it’s just you and I
Standing near
When I look into your eyes they shine like mine
Reflect this burning in between

If you shine, you will see
Take what you can from whatever may be
Forests don’t grow for falling trees to be heard
Shine, you will see

And now everything
Seems like some kind of dream
But it’s as real as life has ever been
Oh I’ll never trust my senses again

If you shine, you will see
Take what you can from whatever may be
Forests don’t grow for falling trees to be heard
If you shine, you will see
If you shine, you will see
I cannot tell if this is heart or mind
Forests don’t grow for falling trees to be heard
Shine, you will see

Sweet thing, where you been?
I’m wearing thin
I hurt inside, I’m all alone
I could use a friend

It’s been a while, I still feel the same
And I don’t know why
I guess it’s hard to believe you could just up and leave
With another guy

I used to think sweet things
Could never slip away
I used to think sweet things
Could never drop out from underneath me
I never thought such a sweet, sweet thing
Could ever leave this bitter taste

Sweet thing, I’ve come undone
And it ain’t much fun
When I look around
I just see this town
That we made our own

I’ve done all that I can
I’m still in pain
And I want to die
I tried to understand
You had your chance to explain
But you had to lie

I used to think sweet things
Could never slip away
I used to think sweet things
Could never drop out from underneath me
I never thought my sweet thing
Would ever slip away
I never thought such a sweet, sweet thing
Could ever leave this bitter taste

I could love you, love you, lie
But I would only make you cry
So won’t you just stay awhile
Before we say goodbye

I’ve got a problem of saying yes and not seeing myself through it
It’s not as easy as saying no and holding myself to it

Every time you come to play
I stop myself when I want to say, “stay”
I remember long ago, I told you so, the answer’s no
And you said you had to go

And from that one mistake I’m reeling
You are the one of whom I’m dreaming
And though we are as one like then
Never again like it had been

It had been wonderful
We are physical
Is it all?
After all?

I’ve got a problem of saying yes and not seeing myself through it
It’s not as easy as saying no and holding myself to it

And from that one mistake I’m reeling
You are the one of whom I’m dreaming
And though we are as one like then
Never again like it had been

Again, again,
Never again,
Again, again
Like we were then
