The Brian Jonestown Massacre
"Monster"


when i looked in your eyes
and i saw my own face
how it seemed out of place
like mans foot steps in space
but were already there

then i felt your breath
see my life in your eyes
and a fate worse than death
as i drew my next breath
did you think i'd survive

uncommon expectations do arise
i make peace with your monsters
and their lies

then i touched your lips
and we started to kiss
having spent my whole life
until this moment arrived
i knew nothing like this

and i looked in your eyes
i saw my own face
how it seemed out of place
like mans foot steps in space
but we're already there

i'm not going to fake this every time
i make peace with the monsters
cause they're mine
