Monster Lyrics by Murphy Taylor Smith

2023

The sun wakes up before I do
The metal tang of blood alerts me to the disrepair
The smashed up metal folding chair
They used to beat me back

The pain starts deep within my chest
I lurch up and slowly do my best to grab a broom
Examine damage to the room
And cover any cracks

And how the smell of matted fur
Mixes with the stench of her
And permeates the hall in which I stand

I don't wanna hurt anybody
I don't wanna hurt anybody
I don't wanna hurt anybody
Anymore

I don't wanna hurt anybody
I don't wanna hurt anybody
I don't wanna hurt anybody
Anymore
But what else is a monster for?

I rise from the dеpths of the lagoon
I click my eyes and gazе up at the moon, it burns my skin
And so as fast as I can swim
I plummet back below

And how my sharp and scaly teeth
Protect me from the underneath
It keeps the task at hand and pain at bay

But when I circle up for air
And see my face reflected there
I understand why people run away

I don't wanna hurt anybody
I don't wanna hurt anybody
I don't wanna hurt anybody
Anymore
But what else is a monster for?

Running fast towards Armageddon
As the midnight sun is setting
And if you call my name please know that I won't hear
The fur that's on my face is pricking
The way it spreads throughout is sickening
The pain and shame white hot, I have to disappear

I can't move
I cannot feel my hands
I'm just a void
An endless black expanse
That cannot scream
And cannot be revived, redeemed
Or let outside her cage

But you, beautiful and draped in gore
Emerge triumphant from the movies I adore
You give me pause
And teach me fur and fangs and claws
Are more than silly stories meant to scare

The midnight sun will light the way
Rewind the movie and press play
And in the starring role, I'm glad to stay

But I'm not gonna hurt anybody
Because I've never hurt anybody
And if we have to hurt anybody
It's just to be free

I'm not gonna hurt anybody
Because I've never hurt anybody
And if we have to hurt anybody
It's just to be free

And we will not desert anybody
When none of us have hurt anybody
I'm not gonna hurt anybody
Not even me
