Good Monsters

Not all monsters are bad
but the ones who are good
never do what they could
never do what they could

I'm still reeling
No, I'm still catatonic
No, I'm catatonically reeling
from yesterday's therapy session

The layer of the onion that makes you cry?
Yeah, that's the one we haphazardly sliced into last night
and once you've made that cut, you just have to keep chopping until your done
or the recipe just doesn't turn out right.

Haphazard isn't the right word
That implies that we went there mistakenly and without care...
I wouldn't have intentionally gone there if I knew how scary it would be...

It
I don't know what 'it' is
It's scary
I'm scared that it's REALLY scary
It could just be 5 or 7 or 9 year old scary
which might not be that scary
but it still FEELS scary

It's a monster
It's a good monster

All the good monsters open their eyes,

To see the wasteland where the home fires rise,

And the people shouting why, why, why...

Do you know what you are?

Do you know what you are?

All of the giants wake from their sleep,

And roll outside of safety's keep,

And the pain makes them feel so alive

Do you know what you are?

Do you know what you are?

And we are bored of all the things we know

Do you know what you are?

Do you know what you are?

Not all monsters are bad, but the ones who are good

Never do what they could, never do what they could

All the good monsters rattle their chains,

And dance around the open flames,

And they make a lot of empty noise.

While all of the bright eyes turn away,

As if there wasn't anything to say,

About the justice and the mystery.

Do you know what you are?

Do you know what you are?

And we are bored of all the things we know

And we are forms of everything we love, we love.

If good won't show it's ugly face, 

Evil won't you take your place

Nothing ever changes,

Nothing ever changes... 

By itself.

Yeah....yeah...aaah

We are bored of all the things we know

Do you know what you are

'Cause we are, we are so in love with ourselves

And we are forms of all the things we love.
