There's a monster inside
And he don't seem to mind
That my mother, oh my mother
She's missing.
She has a malignant stare
Oh, and long jet-black hair
And if you're stuck in her layer
Beware, she's a killer.
Now it's time to get scared
Yeah, your body's been bared
You're stuck in her layer.
You'll cry, but no one hears you
Cry, but no one hears you.
She said "please sit down -
- Take off that crown, put
your feet up, and stay awhile
Oh stay awhile. Take off that crown
Boy stay around, let me cook you dinner
Put your feet up, and let me
Cook you dinner
But it's time to get scared
Because you're stuck,
Yeah you're stuck
In her layer
She spins a fabric that goes on forever,
And ever and ever
Like a leather tether
I love you, but I got
To sever the bond,
So here it is
It's my cut.
Time to sever
The bond, I love
You, but there's
A monster inside.

A jazzy sort of blues song on the piano
From my third album.

i love anything aboot monsters...i think there is a monster inside me except hes very tiny but i used to know some men who had massive monsters inside them and were scared of what they might do or not do almost like they had never been tested.must be strange to be a bloke i kow its strange being a woman and being concious of being concious and knowing about death and old age i am surprised anyone ever smiles but we do and laugh and all of us are quite brave really just for being alive cos its a scarey place but then i think that whilst others dont...maybe they belive in god or are really brave. if only i was poetic enough to say what i really mean. i love your poem.x

Curious lyrics, I'd like to hear the tune... Well written all through, although I believe that layer might supposed to be lair in the line "And if you're stuck in her layer" and throughout the poem. It's still all good though!
God's Speed,

Well if you clicked on the link in the author's comments you'd notice it's already a song, because, you'd be listening to it. Clith the link, that's why it's there.

who are you cutting off? this poem was vague, but intriguing. It also seemed like it could have been taken from a poem and added to music to form a song of some sort. Maybe you should try it, but other than that, it seemed very good.

good job!
I like this song! It would be a really great single!! i like this.. I like the struggle to free yourself from your mom.. I have the same feelings! i like this! good write!
*amber* -
sometimes it's best to just go.
i knew this one was a song.
you always have such pretty songs.
N... -
i didnt understand it, either..but most lyrics can afford to make too much sense..it takes away from the flow...my opinion of course...good job with this..worth the read
~*~blu~*~ -
It definenetly reads as if it were a song. I didn't understand it exactly, maybe because I'm a bit thick skulled at times, however I did find it intriguing and it definently was well written as are all the pieces I have read of yours.
I'll have to check out the song.
On a side note I think it is particulary badass that a lot of the poetry you post on here are lyrics from your CD's. I got into writing poetry because I started writing music.
Anyways good job on this one
