Monsters - The Midnight, Jupiter Winter

Put two beating hearts together

Stitched the seams and pull the lever

Strange desires, sparks and wires

I signed the dotted line

That tethered yours to mine

No anesthetic for hearts electric

Parts start to decay

When just your shadow half remains

The operation had complications

And the part of you that died

I’ll carry all my life

Lovers slowly decomposing

So it goes

It could’ve been paradise

It could’ve had diamond eyes

I held so tight that I lost her

We could’ve been fireflies

But that fire died

Dead and gone

I was wrong

Love’s a con

I’m a monster

Monsters

Hope lingers on

After the one you love is gone

Thought I smelled your ghost in my winter coat

And our love became a void

Another echo in the noise

I can’t erase what we became

It could’ve been paradise

Could’ve been you and I

I played the fool

And you played the martyr

We could have been fireflies

But some fires die

I meant no harm

We were both wrong

Moving on

I’m a monster

Monsters
