Your Monster by The Shondes Lyrics
[VERSE 1]
It's time
It's time
My hands are steady
It's time
It's time
Grow up already
I know you think you're so good
Like you got nothing to hide
And I'm everything you're not
I'm only good for the fight
I know you think you're so good
Because I'm so fucking bad
Tell me is this equation really the best thing you ever had?
It's time
It's time
My hands are steady
It's time
It's time
[Hook]
Cos I've personified all my rage
Bursting seams at killing time
I'm not afraid of the spectacle stage
My fists are out
The monster arrives
I'm always racking up reasons to stay
Knowing my gift is just to fulfill this
But I believe you less every time that you say
I'm just supposed to be your catalyst
I'm just the dirty counterpart to your innocence
[Verse 2]
I'll fight
I'll fight
My hands won't bruise
I'll fight
I'll fight
I'm your monster
I never lose
You have to close your eyes and cover up your ears
Cos I'm such a talker, I'm so convincing, but never sincere
And I know you think I just connive and tell you lies
But at least I know why I am alive
[Bridge]
This role is all I've ever known
This role is all I've ever known
Go ahead and wash your hands of me
Go ahead and keep yourself clean
Go ahead and wash your hands of me
Go ahead and keep yourself clean
Go ahead and wash your hands of me
Go ahead and keep yourself clean
It's time, it's the feeling when I'm ready to start
I've got an anthem, it's my beating heart
It's the feeling when I'm ready to start
I've got an anthem, it's my beating heart
It's my heart
It's time
It's time
My hands are steady
It's time
It's time
Grow up already
I know you think you're so good
Like you got nothing to hide
And I'm everything you're not
I'm only good for the fight
I know you think you're so good
Because I'm so fucking bad
Tell me is this equation really the best thing you ever had?
It's time
It's time
My hands are steady
It's time
It's time
[Hook]
Cos I've personified all my rage
Bursting seams at killing time
I'm not afraid of the spectacle stage
My fists are out
The monster arrives
I'm always racking up reasons to stay
Knowing my gift is just to fulfill this
But I believe you less every time that you say
I'm just supposed to be your catalyst
I'm just the dirty counterpart to your innocence
[Verse 2]
I'll fight
I'll fight
My hands won't bruise
I'll fight
I'll fight
I'm your monster
I never lose
You have to close your eyes and cover up your ears
Cos I'm such a talker, I'm so convincing, but never sincere
And I know you think I just connive and tell you lies
But at least I know why I am alive
[Bridge]
This role is all I've ever known
This role is all I've ever known
Go ahead and wash your hands of me
Go ahead and keep yourself clean
Go ahead and wash your hands of me
Go ahead and keep yourself clean
Go ahead and wash your hands of me
Go ahead and keep yourself clean
It's time, it's the feeling when I'm ready to start
I've got an anthem, it's my beating heart
It's the feeling when I'm ready to start
I've got an anthem, it's my beating heart
It's my heart
