Scattered seeds and breaking storms Won't make a decent lie for you Naked and with every breath you climb the stairs Step by step and I don't need this I don't need to be saved Five steps away from this cliff top And birds sing their praises To this weary world that haunts my weary soul There are monsters here And as you scream it makes no sense, It makes no sense, It makes no sense at all There are monsters here And as you scream it makes no sense, It makes no sense, It makes no sense at all In every despair I'll find you standing there, With the bitter taste of envy on your sleeve Because tonight is our night, And I don't want this No, so won't you let me go There are monsters here And as you scream it makes no sense, It makes no sense, It makes no sense at all There are monsters here And as you scream it makes no sense, It makes no sense, It makes no sense at all And every animal will find itself a home Every man and woman Well, they'll just lose control And we can make ourselves believe That I don't want this that I don't need this No, I have this to myself There are monsters here And as you scream it makes no sense, It makes no sense, It makes no sense at all In every despair I'll find you standing there It makes no sense, It makes no sense at all
