C
I’ve created a monster

It feeds on my guilt

I’m lying with vultures

They’re watching me wilt

Patiently waiting for me to decay

I’ve got half of my breath left
I’m one stitch away

And no there’s no decorum
They won’t be polite
Am
They’ll just rip up my bones
F G
Till there’s no flesh in sight
Am F G
But I’ll be fine
[Refrão]

When your friends play the anchor

Trust me I'm a mess
But I beat myself best

When you're on your own
