Waiting around for some likes
Waiting around for someone to be nice
Standing and watching, evaporating
The longer you stare, the more you’re inflating
Swelling up like a stupid balloon
Itchy and prickly heart goes boom
Every new look feels like cruelty
Won’t someone put me out of my misery?

Monster
The little monster comes out
Monster
The little monster comes out

Why do we do this to ourselves
The ripples of crippling mental health
Attention junkies, it spreads like a virus
Tell me that I’m special, tell me that you like this
Chasing each other around a crystal maze
Follow me into the time malaise
Back and forth, happy slappy escalations
One up manship, ’til everyone is breaking

Monster
The little monster comes out
Monster
The little monster comes out

Meanwhile, there is little appeal
To a little conversation, or anything real
Is there anyone beautiful to fuck?
I guess I’ll never know, too weak to step up
This all goes through my head
While I’m standing on my own
Look at blank phone
Wishing I was dead

My sweaty heart reaches breaking point again
I waddle on home, am I insane?
Am I insane?

Monster
The little monster comes out
Monster
The little monster comes out

Life inside is wearing me down
Cartoon madness, imprisoned by clowns
It wouldn’t take much, just a little wrong turn
For a match, then a flame, then everyone burns
Where did all this darkness come from?
Rocking back and forth, feral and numb
Give me a sign that there’s light out there
A new day will dawn, somewhere I’m not so scared

Monster
The little monster comes out
Monster
The little monster comes out
