lyrics
There’s a monster watching over me
Keeps me safe but never warm
And never really safe
From the depths of its own harm
He wears my shoes
He wears my smile
He answers to my name
And to anyone who knows us
We’re one in the same
There’s a monster, he is holding me
He keeps me safe but never warm
And never really safe
He’s the shelter and the storm
I ask him please to let me go
But he’s committed til the end
He may be the death of me
But he’s a loyal friend
I took a chair
I took a rope
Down to the basement
I left him there
I left with hope
Until my face went blue
There’s a monster keeping score for me
Since the day that I was born
And no one’s really safe
His aim is misinformed
He wears my shadow
He wears my skin
He answers to my name
And to anyone who knows us
We are one in the same
Keeps me safe but never warm
And never really safe
From the depths of its own harm
He wears my shoes
He wears my smile
He answers to my name
And to anyone who knows us
We’re one in the same
There’s a monster, he is holding me
He keeps me safe but never warm
And never really safe
He’s the shelter and the storm
I ask him please to let me go
But he’s committed til the end
He may be the death of me
But he’s a loyal friend
I took a chair
I took a rope
Down to the basement
I left him there
I left with hope
Until my face went blue
There’s a monster keeping score for me
Since the day that I was born
And no one’s really safe
His aim is misinformed
He wears my shadow
He wears my skin
He answers to my name
And to anyone who knows us
We are one in the same

about
Girl From The Moon Phoenix, Arizona
I am Girl From The Moon. I don't know how I got here or how long I'll be here. I arrived in 1983 and am still adjusting to life on earth. I learned the language of music to connect with other foreign souls.
