Dragon

We're all monsters here, How do we live in our animal minds? Bent and twisted, subpoenaed to lie Tell the truth all the truth until it Has nowhere, no place counterfeit it can hide? And dear, you can't bear another to look, To look you in the eye Especially if that someone is me: The one who knows your every dark secret place Show your teeth, grin and smile. There is fresh blood beneath your fingernails It's a vile thin veneer a see-through veil Grinning back at you; yourself-reflection. The one you know is a real monster It is the animal you keep in the basement cellar. That roars like a cat to breathe its self-back Back into your heart at nightfall That you've pretended to yourself isn't really - there. But now you've only gone and set it free We're all monsters here, 'love' don't you agree?
