[Verse] I'm sitting on the ruins of that pedestal you built for me It's dusty up here A little lonely You said you like the way the red looks against my skin But It's not mine I took the "good" parts of you The parts that used to pray And I tucked them into memories before they'd fade away Now look at me Look at what you made [Pre-Chorus] Don't blink now The monster is beautiful isn't she (Isn't she) The monster is beautiful isn't she I'm the itch in your nerves I'm the salt in the dirt I'm the quake in your heart Ohh I'm the only thing that's real [Chorus] Savor the poison Choke on the sweet I'm the monster you fear but you're dying to meet I'm not the tragedy but I am the knife I am the ghost of your miserable life [Post-Chorus] Kneel Watch me reign Kneel Watch me reign You're addicted to my damage I'm addicted to your pain Bleed You're to blame Bleed You're to blame You're addicted to my damage I'm addicted to your pain [Verse 2] You tried to cage the fever but the fever caught your scent Now you're clawing at the walls just to try to escape my intent But I've got your heart in a jar on the nightstand honey It's still twitching and pounding It's almost funny [Pre-Chorus] The monster is beautiful isn't she (Isn't she) The monster is beautiful isn't she I'm the itch in your nerves I'm the salt in the dirt I'm the quake in your heart Ohh I'm the only thing that's real [Chorus] Savor the poison Choke on the sweet I'm the monster you fear but you're dying to meet I'm not the tragedy but I am the knife I am the ghost of your miserable life [Post-Chorus] Kneel Watch me reign Kneel Watch me reign You're addicted to my damage I'm addicted to your pain Bleed You're to blame Bleed You're to blame You're addicted to my damage I'm addicted to your pain [Bridge] Here's to the old me who stayed quiet Here's to the old me who was small Here's to the one who finally got tired And decided to burn it all [Verse 3] There's no "redemption" at the bottom of this hole I didn't lose my mind I just finally let go of control The stitches are coming out and I'm leaking nothing but sin You can scream for the "old me" but she's nowhere within She died screaming in the dark And I'm the thing that answered back [Final Chorus] Savor the poison Choke on the sweet I'm the monster you fear but you're dying to meet I'm not the tragedy but I am the knife I am the ghost of your miserable life [Post-Chorus] Kneel Watch me reign Kneel Watch me reign You're addicted to my damage I'm addicted to your pain Bleed You're addicted to my damage I'm addicted to your pain [Outro] The monster is beautiful isn't she The monster is beautiful isn't she The monster is beautiful isn't she The monster is beautiful isn't she
