Who's The Real Monster?

Verse 1 Plastic crowns in our oceans We call it progress Call it growth Building quiet little monsters Everywhere we go Smoke on the hills like candles We light them Then we boast Concrete where the forest breathed We paved the roots We cut the seed Candy wrappers on the sidewalk Blowing softly with the wind We step over all the warnings Like the guilt is not our skin Tell me when the rivers bleed Is it still victory we need? Chorus Who’s the real monster? Hiding in the mirror glass Writing pretty stories Over every broken past We point at the shadows But truth is coming faster Claws on our conscience Who’s the… Who’s the real monster? Verse 2 Cages stacked in the sunrise We buy their bodies Sell their pain Eyes that never see daylight We change the channel Sip our gain Oil on a seabird’s feather We say “accidents” and pray Count the species like they’re numbers Crossed off Filed away Plastic drifting past the shoreline Floating slowly out to sea Every careless little footprint Writes another tragedy Chorus Who’s the real monster?

Bridge Is it the teeth or the suit and tie? Is it the fang or the factory line? Every footprint Every fire sky Spells my name Spells yours Spells why Chorus Who’s the real monster? Hiding in the mirror glass If we made this nightmare We can still take it back Turn down the hunger Turn up the answer Hands off the trigger Don’t be… Don’t be the monster
