about

This song is about very poor parenting.

lyrics

"But I'm not a monster!"
"Nonsense, you're the greatest monster of them all!"

The monster was her father,
abandoned its own daughter.
Craving so much power,
inside, just a coward.
Claiming divinity
in its insanity,
tearing worlds apart, heartless,
it departs.

I don't mean to trouble your mind,
but I have lived a world that you left behind.
If this is your heaven, if this makes you feel alive...
Just let it be known that you're the god I deny.

You...
left me with just your name.
You...
This will never be the same.
You...
left me with just your name.
You...
This will never be the same.

I don't mean to trouble your mind,
but I have lived a world that you left behind.
If this is your heaven, if this makes you feel alive...
Just let it be known that you're the god I deny.

"See, I'm not a monster... I'm just ahead of the curb."

I don't mean to trouble your mind,
but I have lived a world that you left behind.
If this is your heaven, if this makes you feel alive...
Just let it be known that you're the god I deny.
I don't mean to trouble your mind,
but I have lived a world that you left behind.
If this is your heaven, if this makes you feel alive...
Just let it be known that you're the god I deny.
