Another day at work, I hate my job I hate my job I hate my boss, but I need a way to make a living. Another day at work, I don't wanna kill any humans but I need a way to make a living.
Check the slides, do the admin, fill the coffins up with spiders again, day in day out, day in day out. And if you see a person don't let them leave, nobody gets out alive, day in day out, day in day out.
But what can a monster do? employments down and no one wants to, hire someone with my face and history, killing humans in the only thing on my CV.
All my colleagues get a kick from all the death and torturing, but im sick of ripping off limbs. And in the staff room they all talk about playing football in the park, with the heads that they've torn off.

I Think My Dad's a Plant

I think my dads a plant, I think m dad is turning into a plant, I saw him eat fertiliser and that can't be meeting his dietary requirements, he's started wearing a baseball cap, what is it he is hiding?
I think my dads a plant, I think my dad is turning into a plant, cause in his bed theres just dirt, yeah its crawling with worms, and how can he explain it? where he used to grow hair, he is sprouting leaves, just an effect of the experiment he says, but then he's a plant. What do I do if my dad is turning into a plant? Do I water him? Keep him on the windowsill where its sunny and warm? Get a special pot to keep him in? Hope he doesn't die through lack of caring.
Ive never been much good with plants, my dad is turning into a plant.

Made of straw in the twilight, I swear I saw you walk tonight, long trench coat in the corn field, faces painted on, I don't wanna believe you're real.
Eyes that will haunt my dream, they say that you don't move but I know what I've seen, is it a prank or are you cursed? Have you been built for this? Just built to hurt?
And he said
The scarecrow walks at midnight

Brandy wants an egg hunt, she's such a brat, sometimes it feels like no one understands me, people have never been my forte. The egg I found doesn't look right, green with veins and I swear that I can hear a heartbeat, hear a heartbeat.
Are you evil? Where did you come from? Why does it feel like I know you somehow?
Couldn't call you a monster, you're just a creature like me, two eyes and a little bit more slime. Now we're trapped together but I dont think you would attack me, I've always felt strange but with you I feel okay.
You're not evil, where did you come from? Why does it feel like I know you somehow?
You're not evil, where did you come from? Oh yeah it feels like I know you somehow
You're not evil, you came from mars, when you feel out of place, just know I feel the same

Mum wants me to read more over summer, I'd rather be scaring my brother, all your recommendations are boring, mr. mortman. He wants me to read the classics, only care if theres monsters in it, I blag my way through sessions with you, mr. mortman
I know about you, you eat flies your head bulges, you're a monster through and through.
Been watching you from a distance, this time a turtle was your victim, can't believe this of a boring man like you, mr. mortman. Wish I could get my dad to believe me, but he says how could it be? I guess I see why he thinks that, mr. mortman.
Finally mum and dad believe me, we can't have this threat in our community, they say lets have him round for dinner, invite him in are you kidding? mr. mortman asks whats on the menu, my dad turns and says that would be you, both my parents get a good taste, finally at last we're all safe.
I know about you, you eat flies your head bulges, you're a monster like me too!

I wanna take your skin, I wanna take your life, you're just a little girl, but I dont mind, for so many years I've been locked inside, he calls me the unloved and thats just not right.
I wanna take your skin, I'm sure you're really nice, but I've got to latch on, while I've still got time, im sick of feeling this, I wanna feel a breeze, he can't just keep me hidden, my face deserves to be seen.
I tried to take your skin, I tried to take your life, I guess i'm the unloved, I guess that he was right.

Dear Mum and Dad

Dear mum and dad, I just got here, the boys seem nice, but some things they're a little bit weird, snakes in the bed, and we can't be out after curfew, a boarded up bunk, but miss you love you and I'll see you soon
Dear mum and dad, hope that you're doing okay, it's the strangest thing but we heard these animals yesterday, our counsellor says that its a creature they call Sabre, but anyway, miss you love you see you later
Dear mum and dad, I think you need to pick me up, there are boys disappearing, I don't wanna try my luck, they tell me that they don't know these names these faces, god I miss you and I love you, please get here and don't take ages
Dear mum and dad, can't believe you were in on it, a government programme, passed all the tests, you say im fit, for a mission to investigate a weird planets creature, lets head to earth quick so that we can see them.

The Ghosts Lament

I wish that I could play a happy song, I know I'm haunting you at night, with all these notes that come out wrong, this was my place, this was my home, and now I wander the halls trapped in a state between loved and never really there.
Oh Jerry don't you meet the same fate.
The town I loved the school I hated, I would trade anything to relive even the worst bits again, a hug from my mum a cold crisp morning, and no piano lessons after school, no I would never have met you.
Oh Jerry don't you meet the same fate, oh Jerry you deserve so much more, oh Jerry don't you meet the same fate, oh Jerry don't you meet the same fate.

A witch cursed my monster blood and, now my dogs the size of a horse and, this stuffs like a fish in water, getting bigger the more space that I give it.
I thought it was just slime, I just wanted to have a good time.
Everything feels out of control this, monster bloods gonna swallow me whole and, the Beymer twins have already fallen victim, and yeah they deserved it, but don't tell my mum I said it
I thought it was just slime, I just wanted to have a good time, something like pretending that it's snot to freak my friends out would have been nice, but now I'm cursed by a cat or a woman, I'm not sure how it works, transfigurations never really been something I've researched, this monster blood will kill us all if we don't do something quick, lucky that my massive dog Trigger seems to have sorted it.

I don't want your king coins, I don't have the time, running swimming tennis, why the hell would I?
Competing it's not in my nature, can't we just do it for fun? 'only the best only the best' I don't care about being number one.
'What about the winners walk?', it doesn't matter to me, 'they only want us to be the best that we can be'.
But don't you think that somethings weird? there's a rumbling underfoot, kids keep disappearing and they just want us to win, I've had enough.
Follow them into the woods, lets see what I can find, go down the steps what I see, it cannot be described, I need to get out of here, I need to get these kids, I've gotta get away from this smell, I need to find my parents need to find my brother, gotta get away from this hell.
