monster

I'm teaching you how a girl became a monster
All the dreams she'd hoped to spin
All the songs she'd hope to sing
On the road she drove too fast out of control

The sad and the lonely
The arms wrapped around me
The truth and the tales
All the lies we sold

We're chasing tomorrow
We're chasing fortunes
We're chasing our pasts
Trying to forget misfortunes

Never a fantasy we couldn't ruin
Fill in between lines and, true,
You'll find us running as fast
To get away from who we are

***
Little ants. Tiny, little ants.

On the road she drove too fast out of control
