i’m a monster, you ever had one?
be afraid • be afraid
i’m a monster, you never had one?
if it isn’t inside my head, how can i be sure it’s real?
no, i didn’t catch that you were broke down
because i don’t know how to feel
if i didn’t see it happen, how can i be sure it did?
no, i don’t believe you, couldn’t have been
you are all inside my head
i’m a monster, ever had one?
be afraid • be afraid
cause i’m a monster, you never had one?
be afraid • be afraid
now my ego runneth over, can you see it on the floor?
no? what?
i can’t hear you, no, i can’t feel you
empathy is overrated, all it does is slow me down
no, i didn’t see you struggling down there
because i f loat above the ground • f loat above the ground
i’ve got bolts in my neck, fangs in my teeth
god, something ain’t right with that boy
my eyes turning red • you should be scared
‘cause i wish i could trust but i confess i’m not the best
at showing that my heart’s a mess
it could’ve stopped and i wouldn’t know
i’m a monster, ever had one?
be afraid • be afraid
‘cause i’m a monster, you never had one?
be afraid • be afraid
The real Speed of Sound in Seawater is fast... relatively. This album is the same in that it goes by too fast and you are already putting it on repeat again. :p jason hankins
Certainly a controversial direction for the band, but this album ultimately rests as my favorite from TTNG. The technical mastery of their previous albums is still present here along with some very thought provoking and philosophical lyrics. I may not always agree with the lyrical messaging, but this is an album which rewards careful listening. Syobnaf
