Monsters and Good People (I See the Beauty in Your Shadows)

standing on the back porch of life
i see everything in the shadows
chloroform in my vision
snow on my control
i see everything in the shadows
cold
coming from the west side of tomorrow
division
coming from the last rain of yesterday’s dream

the fear of his a hand on your back
the hidden fear is when it’s gone
now fold those promises for another time
neatly in the drawer next to love
the fear of no one watching has been your life's
wish
a star may die for you tonight
passion
a little bit of you died a lifetime of nights ago

standing on the back porch of life
i see everything in the shadows
mysteries and poetry in the struggle
creatures of the desolation roam
nightfall
lost forever in the decaying mind of doubt
future
in the evolution of digital gods
i see everything in the shadows

feel this fear inside you
don’t think about when it’s gone
open up another book in the library of disease
turn to the chapter on you
the fear of no one watching is the greatest thrill of all
awake
reborn into the watcher of a multitude of eyes
death
is the lie burning in your innocence

monsters one and all
you and i
monsters one and all
look left and right
monsters one and all
and i see the shadows in everyone

standing on the back porch of life
where i was born
where i never die

i see the shadows in everyone
