Everbody was born in it
Shure as hell gonna die in it
Some people don't give a shit
Whether or not they're full of it
It's on my mind most of the time
That's when you find we all go blind
Then it will start to get in our hearts
It's gone too far, that's who we are
It's a monster
We all have within us
It's a monster
It's a monster
Turns us into sinners
It's a monster
It started when I played with it
It turned into a habit
And after that once you've been bit
You can't seem to get rid of it
It's on my mind most of the time
That's when you find we all go blind
Then it will start to get in our hearts
It's gone too far, that's who we are
It's a monster
We all have within us
It's a monster
It's a monster
Turns us into sinners
It's a monsterMusic by: Glen Phillips and Toad
Lyrics by: Glen Phillips
Wasn't it hard
And did we want penance
Summer's so long
Colder men when their ice prayer never came
Didn't we fight it
And weren't we hard
Holding back a friend of mine
All the way coming home
Aren't we the ones who never got tired?
Wasn't it magic
The flames rolled and I said OK
Were we just asking
For something to come our way
Are we another, were we afraid?
Is there a hope that we'll wait
To walk a time?
He's a long road...
And I feel like a newborn again
But the night holds on
Hello, I'm coming home
Don't we mind waiting
And are we ashamed
Coming here in the black dark night
And I don't feel so strange
Are we the lady?
Were we afraid?
Are we the summer...
