The Monster – An End

Unfinished business. The song that is never completed weighs heavily on the The Performer as he sits in the wings, drowning his sorrows once more. His audience has reduced to just one, but this suits him just fine. They were never of any importance to him anyway.

Perhaps this is the closure he’s always needed. Perhaps this is the last time he’ll grace this stage. He fights back the tears and says a final goodbye to all around him.

However, it is far more likely that he’ll be returning to do it all again tomorrow.

lyrics

I walk to forget, I drink to forgive
But my legs have grown tired and my liver can’t live
The path has grown dark, but the end is in sight
Why can't I manage just one sober night?

My reflection looks back at what I have become
A rapid decline since 2001,
The past is the past, but my future looks grim
You’re probably right, you're safer with him

Well, I could be the monster that lurks beneath your bed
And I could be the dealer, who keeps your veins well fed
I could be the siren, that lures you to the rocks
You could be my chicken, And I will be your fox

I could be the bandit
Who’s holding up your heart
And I can be the devil
But you knew that from the start
Well, I could be the virus, Infecting from within
Where else would I begin?
