My Favorite Monster (Version 2)

Verse 1

Fading through a slow descent,

Watching every shadow fray.

Every moment borrowed, spent,

As the colors slip away.

I feel the pull of falling down,

Reaching for the edge of sleep.

Far beyond the borders of town,

In quiet waters, cold and deep.

Pre-Chorus

It feels so light to watch it fade,

To cut the anchors from the shore.

I step away from barricades,

To wander where we bleed no more.

Chorus

I told you so, I told you so,

Bury every lingering spark.

I'm sinking back into the abyss

My comfortable, familiar dark.

Post-Chorus

The apathy that keeps me safe,

The empty room I call my home.

I kill the hope, I close the gate,

And finally I am left alone.

​

Verse 2

​For just a second, played the part,

Drifting freely in design.

The edge was silver, cool, and sharp,

Your silhouette was so divine.

​You held the weapon with a grace,

I wore the crimson like a skin.

A beautiful beast with an angel’s face,

I let the poison enter in.

​

Pre-Chorus

​It felt so light to watch it fade,

To cut the anchors from the shore.

I step away from barricades,

To wander where we bleed no more.

Chorus

​I told you so, I told you so,

Bury every lingering spark.

I'm sinking back into the abyss

My comfortable, familiar dark.

​[Post-Chorus]

​The apathy that keeps me safe,

The empty room I call my home.

I kill the hope, I close the gate,

And finally I am left alone.
