Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Tell me again
About how it hurts
Being awfully loud
For an introvert
[Verse 2]
Get out of my room
Smile wiped clean
Isn't it weird
To be so mean?
[Verse 3]
I'm guessing that I've grown horns
I guess I'm human no more
I can tell I've rotted in your brain
Oh, how easily passion twists
You think I'm a crazy bitch
I craft my words to fit your head
'Cause no one listens to the dead
[Verse 4]
So maybe I will talk to you
The only way I know how to
Mm, I've said my speech
Mm, through sharpened teeth
You break the rules and spikes grow from your skin
Please let the devil in
[Verse 5]
A metre apart
We blankly stare
We shout in our heads
Are you still in there?
[Verse 6]
Well this ends bad then
We knew it would
So we won't eat our words
'Cause they don't taste good
[Verse 7]
I'm guessing that I've grown horns
I guess I'm human no more
I can tell I've rotted in your brain
Oh, how easily passion twists
You think I'm a crazy bitch
A thousand words are left unsaid
'Cause no one listens to the dead
[Verse 8]
So maybe I will talk to you
The only way I know how to
Mm, I've said my speech
Mm, through sharpened teeth
You break the rules and spikes grow from your skin
[Verse 9]
Oh, I think it might be worth a try
Oh, am I ready to let this die?
Mm, a monster's here
Mm, you plug your ears, but hey
You might just listen to it sing
Please let the devil in
[Verse 10]
(We won't eat our words)
(They don't taste so good)
(We won't eat our words)
(They don't taste so good)
(We won't eat our words)
[Verse 11]
Look, I know that I've seen this before
High and mighty, at the top of your list
Adoring every move, now my rank is sinking
But we're both guilty of black or white thinking
[Verse 12]
And through my red eyes, you look pale
All of your scars now looking more like scales, two
Ugly creatures, two sinister preachers
Blind to the past, like a couple of monsters
Just a couple of monsters
[Verse 13]
So maybe I will talk to you
The only way I know how to
Mm, you've said your speech
Mm, through sharpened teeth
You break the rules and spikes grow from your skin
[Verse 14]
Oh, I think it might be worth a try
Oh, am I ready to let this die?
Mm, a monster's here
Mm, you plug your ears, but hey
You might just listen to it sing
Please let the devil in
[Verse 15]
(We won't eat our words)
(They don't taste so good)
(We won't eat our words)
(They don't taste so good)
