Monster at Your Door

VERSE 1

There’s a monster at your door, though she looks like an angel

Taking pictures of your house from more than one angle

She won’t be the only one who shows up this evening

They got shotguns for popping, baseball bats for beating

You reach for the gun locked inside your steel cabinet

You got a machete to turn their clothes into cabbage

You got a one-way ticket in case you need to dip

But for now, no movement, just zip your fucking lip


VERSE 2

You can cross the country and then cross the ocean

But the monster’s fanatics are known for their devotion

If she gives marching orders, they’ll march your ass down

If you’re in the biggest city or the tiniest of towns

It takes a marathon sprint to get the fuck away

Until your legs crumble like they’re paper mâché

Until your heart beats at a million per minute

Until your sanity is pushed beyond explosive limits


VERSE 3

Nobody in their right mind will think this is fair

If they do, they got no brain under their hair

Monsters have short fuses over absolutely nothing

The tiniest infraction is worth a lifetime of cussing

Throwing a fit and making big ass scenes

They got fuck-you money and the praise of the machine

But if the history of tyrants is anything to go by

Their empires will crumble as they crocodile cry

The Beautiful Scars


CHORUS 1
These are the beautiful scars
They define who you are
The bloody bruise, the purple hues
The dynamite with a short fuse

VERSE 1
It’s your mission, it’s your decision
To carry on strong and to live long
To use the shattered pieces of the past
To change the world and kick some ass

CHORUS 1
These are the beautiful scars
They define who you are
The bloody bruise, the purple hues
The dynamite with a short fuse

VERSE 2
What happened to you wasn’t right
But even so, you still have to fight
For the ones who share your wounds
Who never walked out of the hospital room

CHORUS 1
These are the beautiful scars
They define who you are
The bloody bruise, the purple hues
The dynamite with a short fuse

BRIDGE
It hurt like hell when you finally fell
But still you answered the final bell
This is your story to write and tell
Because the best revenge is living well

CHORUS 2
These are the beautiful scars
It’s time to raise the fucking bar
The blackest eyes, tearful cries
The trauma that tells you lies
The shattered bones, broken home
The many nights you spent alone
Now is the time to bite the bullet
Now is the time to fuck all the bullshit
