Monster

Monster

You ran into the streets

To capture a moment in time

Who would’ve ever thought I would be sitting watching you

We weren’t discreet

Me, a new found soul and you, a crude stoner

Think you surprised yourself more than me

Or maybe I’m wrong

When I gave us up

I did believe

Release was best for you

But I made a monster

Let’s be honest

After, I made a better you

Perspective from my side

I got the breakdown

I saw your other half

Wished they were lying

Their warnings were so true

Though you are a monster

I root for you

Passion for movie screens

We could share

Critical to heartfelt affairs

Conversation endless

You got caught in the smoke

Said that you had calmed down

Said it was recreational

I hate they took you down

Back in your hometown

Sorry I wasn’t there

I’m sure you cared less

Cause your blood ran cold

The night I refused to show

Up for what I knew I wasn’t made for

Wish we could’ve gone down

A little bit different

But I know,
