Bowl and Belly

Verse 1

Crumb on the counter

Dried and curling at the edge

Push it in my pocket

Save it for the edge of the bed

Monster under the floorboards

Taps a rhythm with his thumb

Wants his dinner early

Before the morning comes

Pre-Chorus

Gotta give and give again

Til the bowl is scraped and clean

Gotta keep him satisfied

Before he turns mean

Chorus

Feed the monster if you want the vomit

Feed the monster if you want the cream

Feed the monster till he's honest

Feed the monster if you want the dream

Post-Chorus

Mm-mm the dream

Mm-mm the dream

Verse 2

Spoiled milk in the fridge

I pour it down the sink

He watches from the hallway

Harder than I think

Bits of yesterday's radio

Static stuck between his teeth

I hand him everything I own

He hands me back relief

Pre-Chorus

Gotta give and give again

Til the bowl is scraped and clean

Gotta keep him satisfied

Before he turns mean

Chorus

Feed the monster if you want the vomit

Feed the monster if you want the cream

Feed the monster till he's honest

Feed the monster if you want the dream

Post-Chorus

Mm-mm the dream

Mm-mm the dream

Bridge

I am not the keeper

I am not the key

I am just the hand that reaches

And the belly that believes

Chorus

Feed the monster if you want the vomit

Feed the monster if you want the cream

Feed the monster till he's honest

Feed the monster if you want the dream

Post-Chorus

Mm-mm the dream

Mm-mm the dream

Mm-mm the dream
