Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Put two beating hearts together
Stitched the seams and pull the levers
Strange desires
Sparks and wires
[Verse 2]
I signed the dotted line
That tethered yours to mine
No anesthetic
For hearts electric
[Verse 3]
But parts start to decay
When just your shadow half remains
The operation
Had complications
[Verse 4]
And the part of you that died
I'll carry all my life
Lovers slowly decomposing
So it goes
[Verse 5]
It could've been Paradise
We could've had diamond eyes
I held so tight that I lost her
We could've been fireflies
But that fire died
Dead and gone
I was wrong
Love's a con
And I'm a monster
[Verse 6]
Monsters
Monsters
Monsters
[Verse 7]
Hope lingers on
After the one you love is gone
Thought I smelled your ghost
In my winter coat
[Verse 8]
And our love became a void
Another echo in the noise
I can't erase
What we became
[Verse 9]
It could've been Paradise
Could've been you and I
I played the fool
And you played the martyr
[Verse 10]
We could've been fireflies
But some fires die
I meant no harm
We were both wrong
Moving on
[Verse 11]
I'm a monster
[Verse 12]
Monsters
