The Monster by Early Flights Lyrics

It's the perfect opening act, the right time and the right place
To make a terrible mistake, to set one foot outside the edge
To put the beer out of the coaster and release the creepy monster
That’s been growing underneath our bedroom floor

And right now the monster doubles you in size
You should not feed him after midnight, shouldn't water him at all

It's been coming for some time
I can hear the whispers
There’s no hiding he's so fat
From all the good he's eaten

And when you roll your eyes I pretend to understand
The things we left unsaid could've taken us
To a totally different place
Did we become cliches, don't think I got it right
Signs on the road were big enough
To see them from the sky

Can't stop the bleeding with your thumb over the wound
With all the towels in the room
Nor with the mattress, miles of carpet
With a hundred little pieces of that healing tape we used
Back when you cut your middle finger
When we were arguing in the kitchen
And right now the monster doubles you in size
You should not feed him after midnight, shouldn't water him at all

It's been coming for some time
I can hear the whispers
There’s no hiding he’s so fat
From all the good he's eaten

And when you roll your eyes I pretend to understand
The things we left unsaid could’ve taken us
To a totally different place
Did we become cliches, don't think I got it right
Signs on the road were big enough
To see them from the sky
