The Night is for Believing in Monsters
I have ten minutes
Ten minutes to tell you the hypocrisy of it all
Ladykiller and a maneater
Quite a pair
Destroying the general single population
One night stand at a time
Lamps off
We can pretend to be monsters in the dark
The monsters we know we are
Not so different
We're practically the same
Except you've written off emotions
And I always look for someone else to blame
Seven minutes
Enough time to tell you
I am not a doll
I don't wear self pity as if it's a water logged life vest
I will not drown in last night's replay
Your head in my lap
Holding hands like it's easy
You are him
The exact same
I find replicas of you everywhere
I slaughter them
The minutes are winding down
Time's up
Lights back on
We're all monsters now
Ten minutes to tell you the hypocrisy of it all
Ladykiller and a maneater
Quite a pair
Destroying the general single population
One night stand at a time
Lamps off
We can pretend to be monsters in the dark
The monsters we know we are
Not so different
We're practically the same
Except you've written off emotions
And I always look for someone else to blame
Seven minutes
Enough time to tell you
I am not a doll
I don't wear self pity as if it's a water logged life vest
I will not drown in last night's replay
Your head in my lap
Holding hands like it's easy
You are him
The exact same
I find replicas of you everywhere
I slaughter them
The minutes are winding down
Time's up
Lights back on
We're all monsters now
