i'm the monster you made

Lyrics

Verse]
Tic-Tac was a man with a steady hand
Building up a life on a piece of land
Jake was the brother that he chose to keep
Sharing every secret when the night was deep
But a favor turned into a heavy debt
A gamble on a promise that he’d soon regret
The lights went out on a Tuesday night
And Tic-Tac lost his grip on what was right

Chorus
It’s all on you, Jake
You watched the world break
My little girl is gone
And I’m the monster you made
It’s all on you, Jake
How much can one heart take
The blood is on your palms
And I’m the monster you made

Verse
The sirens were screaming through the pouring rain
While Tic-Tac was calling out his daughter’s name
Jake stood back with a coward’s eyes
Hiding all the truth behind a web of lies
Now the skin is tight and the teeth are sharp
Something dark is beating in a hollowed harp
The man is gone and the beast is grown
Reaping every seed that his friend has sown

Chorus
It’s all on you, Jake
You watched the world break
My little girl is gone
And I’m the monster you made
It’s all on you, Jake
How much can one heart take
The blood is on your palms
And I’m the monster you made

Bridge
Now Jake is backed against the brick and stone
Trembling in a body he can’t call his own
He looks at Tic-Tac and he starts to grin
Opening his mouth to let the jokes begin
He’s laughing at the ghost of a life they knew
While the monster asks him what he’s gonna do

Chorus
It’s all on you, Jake
You watched the world break
My little girl is gone
And I’m the monster you made
It’s all on you, Jake
How much can one heart take
The blood is on your palms
And I’m the monster you made
