lyrics

Lyrics:

I am a monster that you’ll recognise,
You may not see me but you will despise.
All that I work for and all that I do,
Falling like dominoes and hung by your noose.

All that I am to you is the end of your reign,
All that I bring you is misery and pain.
You are the peasants that let me in,
And I am the evil that murders your kings.

Tears fall and joy floats,
So I’ll sink and you’ll soar.

I can’t bring you down,
Bring you down today.
Cause your head is high,
Higher than the rain.

I am the bullet that’s inside the gun,
You pull the trigger but I cause the harm.
Pain is a precious gift that’s not put to waste,
Used by the many to treasure their days.
And X marks the spot where I’m destined to fall,
That little red dot on Kennedy’s brain.

Tears fall and joy floats,
So I’ll sink and you’ll soar.

I can’t bring you down,
Bring you down today.
Cause your head is high,
Higher than the rain.

I am the one that you’re looking for to avenge your brothers and your sisters,
Picture me as a gun or as the flood that changed the world that we know.
Some may say there’s no need for me but time is cherished because I breathe,
You won’t learn to love or sail the seas, exploration wouldn’t be unveiled.

I can’t bring you down,
Bring you down today.
Cause your head is high,
Higher than the rain.
