byron henderson - i, monster. lyrics

[intro: byron henderson]
left side, left side, hey
right side, right side, whoa
look

[verse 1: byron henderson]
why would i ever try filling cups that leave mine empty?
no rhyme or reason when human nature defines envy
prime example is tying your noose like it’s by design
when we compromise, we decline
then we dramatize and disguise who we are inside to keep lives lengthy
so why all this friendly firе, while keeping tires spinning
same colors diе over colors, the lights dimming
apologies are in order
cause you know they’re sending hollows through
how do your son and daughters just shoot but don’t hold the follow through
guess we’re just lambs to the slaughter til we get tired of you
robbing you of your passion, won’t bother thinking what god will do
as kids, we b+tton mashed
now they smash the gas after mobbing you
back to back with no time to relax, they’re packing a wallop too, so
[hook: marina esmeralda]
how am i supposed to know you’ll stay?
how am i supposed to know you’ll stay?
oh, oh, uh+oh, oh
oh, oh, uh+oh, oh

[bridge: byron henderson]
i can’t promise i won’t change, love
only that you’ll recognize me after
more nights i can’t remember with the ones i can’t forget
that’s why i stay cause, truthfully, nothing else matters but us
i know you’ll catch me if i ever fall again
(ha, woah)

[verse 2: byron henderson]
political views, societal norms got everybody trying to coach now
the enemies are all cloaked, ha
stuck in deep water, but your mental health doesn’t float
unity is looking more like hoax, huh?
folks fear what they don’t understand, but i refuse to be the one your god holds down
where was he when we were getting hosed down
blood all on the curb, the leaves
our bodies shoved into holes, ha
trans, cis, g+y, straight, y’all need to find a different grudge to hold now
how you teach a kid to live fast but forget to show them how to slow down
beat us over the head with jesus
devil still got a hold, how?
nature is beautiful, but human nature is violent
a lot of y’all run your own business, but still don’t know how to mind it
where are my manners, apologies for the panicked state
the damage takes a lot out of me, and my neighbors can’t relate
safe is just a dream cause we’re living nightmares we can’t escape
got no model trains, i just train to not make the same mistakes
forget, forget!
i’m pretty sure you get the gist
the neighborhood used to be different, like one day they flipped a switch
misconceptions all around
with a simple fl!ck of their wrist, they objected to our existence
our fates sealed with a kiss
how many kids go missing?
how many teens are groomed?
how many teachers ain’t listen?
shame how many parents knew
now the devil trying to tango, disrupting my tranquility
diminishing my halo, fight to the best my ability
who’s the g+nius behind the idea of a better me?
i’m a seed
long as you water me, how could i ever leave
uh+huh
[hook: marina esmeralda]
how am i supposed to know you’ll stay?
tell me baby
tell me baby, you’ll stay
oh, oh, oh, oh
oh, oh, oh, oh

how am i supposed to know—oh
oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

[bridge: byron henderson & marina esmeralda]
feeling like i’m out of time
heartbreak, crashing
fingers crossed i hit the ground
dealing with it since a child
sober doesn’t mean i’m fine
every time the void calls, hit decline
but i’m burnt out, burnt out
faded, hah, hah

[outro: byron henderson]
i+i+i+exposing my flaws like skin, all of my dawgs in the kennel
i know you think i mean prison, reality is it’s mental
we’re all trapped in our own heads
stuck between trying to persevere and who do we want dead
hand over that empty sp+ce where my heart is posed to be
pledge allegiance to flags representing what’s broken me
death could never do us part, but we forgot about life
just another kid turned into a monster tonight
oh my
