Monsters lyrics
by O.S.T.R.
[Verse 1]
I like to keep the lights on
So I can see the monsters feet
I know their game
No flies on me
All I need is sleep
So I don't feel obsolete
Please let me sleep
Then I'm sweet like Lobster meat
What the f*ck am I doing?
On the railroad to ruin
I lost my train of thought like
Now I'm back in the room
In across the window ledge
Give me a mo
And I'll give this song a progressive edge
Like save the NHS
Or Tories out
Or something else I'm not qualified to talk about
I guess I'm a writer
Or I writе a lot
Mostly made up stuff
Or self-indulgent poppyc*ck
[Verse 2]
I got sicknеss this last year (oh dear)
A blessing in disguise
Except the chemotherapy
And the part where I might die
But it made me realize
What's important is important
And the rest is just lies
My old life seems so dormant
As important as a doormat
Tired, worn, out of format
And I sworn that
I'll never go back
Because I had a real job for a bit
And I didn't f*cking like it
Promotions and politics
And pretending to give a sh*t
It was exhausting
The money was nice though
So I bought all the things
I didn't want them though
They just filled a hole
Pass the time and all that
Now it's time I want
The one thing I can't get back
[Verse 3]
In the fridge, the milks
The ones with the Y
On the counter, matcha powder
Whisking scales to the side
The cups are all Kinto
Not one has a handle
All the way from Japan
Hinoki candles
Handmade soaps
In brown recycled bottles
Totes inside bigger totes
Textbook middle class models
Molly-coddled but aware
I love it, I hate it, it drives me spare
But at least I fit in
I fit in somewhere
Alexa, play the sound
Of someone pretending to care
