Monster Heart

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You met me by the gate Under paper moon and rain I wore a velvet scar You said my eyes were flame I kept my hands in shadows I kept my name half-closed But you reached through the dark And you opened every door (every door) [Pre-Chorus] Now the glass is shaking When I breathe your name Something old is waking I cannot be tamed [Chorus] Monster, monster You called me monster Monster, monster And I came closer I break the gold chain I wear the night like armor Monster, monster Love me harder (harder) [Verse 2] I know the village talks I hear them from the hill They say I made the storm But baby, I was still You found the hidden fire Behind my quiet face Now every step I take Leaves black and silver lace (silver lace) [Pre-Chorus] Now the glass is shaking When I breathe your name Something old is waking I cannot be tamed [Chorus] Monster, monster You called me monster Monster, monster And I came closer I break the gold chain I wear the night like armor Monster, monster Love me harder (harder) [Bridge] If I’m a curse, then hold it If I’m the bite, then know it You saw the beast in me And never let it go I was made for thunder I was made for the chase But in your trembling hands I found a softer place (softer place) [Final Chorus] Monster, monster You called me monster Monster, monster And I came closer I break the gold chain I wear the night like armor Monster, monster Love me harder (harder) Monster, monster Say it one more time Monster, monster And I’ll be yours tonight
