Little Monster

from Raleigh's Own by The Plastic Arts

/

lyrics

I can tell by the tone of the comment you left
You're thinking I've changed from the person you knew when we met
Into some cruel little monster who's chasing his cronies away
Who treats the kindness he offers like a coin from his coffers he pays
Spare me the long, brittle, feigned, fickle look of distress
I'm hardly the same little punk that you used to impress
I blame your liberal college and friends for the tone that you take
So quick to quit and to call in to be melancholic and shake

Admit that you thought you could lose
Now you got an excuse to complain
You're everything wrong with this town
Always looking for someone to blame
You call yourself falsely accused, feel exhausted and used by the system it all pre-arranged
Cause it either it's that or you choose not to change

You're spilling to your guts to acclaim from your usual friends
They never object when they should but you choose to pretend
So cue the music and lighting the part that you're writing is great
Depressed and melodramatic, you're so cinematic it aches

Admit that you thought you could lose
Now you got an excuse to complain
You're everything wrong with this town
Always looking for someone to blame
You carry your cross with the blues
Feeling accosted and bruised
But believe I could easily relate
I payed the same cost over every mistake

I was chasing control like a thief but was all out of breathe
Reached for a hold of belief at the moment of death
And I waited for someone to speak but when no one was left
I went out to find some relief and retraced nearly all of my steps
I settled the fines that I owed and erased nearly all of my debts

Admit that you thought you could lose
Now you got an excuse to complain
You're everything wrong with this town
Always looking for someone to blame
You're feeling the cost of abuse
Feeling lost and confused
But you rest in a bed that you make
Just waiting like a fool for the levy to break
