singalong! monster by you say party

My sister's band, You Say Party! just released an album celebrating their tenth anniversary, so I'm celebrating with them by posting my favourite song of theirs.  This one actually makes me get all teary most of the time, because I'm sappy like that.

MONSTER

You Say Party!

Dressed up in your outsides,

Inside you’re in nighttime,

Everywhere is frightening

There’s something you are needing to find,

The pressure is pressing you down

That raging monster pulling you around

It wants to rip our skins apart

Tear out the strings connected to our hearts

Our hearts, our hearts,

Evil glare under her eyelids

Rudely wears us on her mouth

Trembling when we see her

Run and hide, she’s coming around to

Tear out the strings (x3)

Connected to our heart

Tear out the strings (x3)

Connected to our heart, our hearts, our hearts,

Our hearts,

You were in the way of yourself, crowded you in, dark clouds hung around, in the hope of a home,

Your body grew wider, your movements slowed down, delusions of dying made sense in your head,

The hair grew in thick,

Your talons reached in,

The venom fought hard,

To poison our hearts,

Delusions of dying made sense in your head,

But you're better than that, you're better than that

Tear out, tear out.

The way we’re made protects us

The bones, the muscles shelter

But it’s our blood that mends us

It’s our blood that mends us
