​in a monster’s stomach

In a monster’s stomach I cried
I didn’t ask for much but tears from my own eyes
And you were on the defensive
Claiming casualties of theirs didn’t broadcast in your head

But I’ve seen my hands stained red
Yes my body’s bled and oh how it has wept
But i’ve seen my hands stained red
Yes my body’s bled and oh how it has wept
Much less than the others
I’d give my life for another inch closer to a world more than this

I see the way you build your house
Built from inside out waiting to be burnt down
And I want so desperately to be a fireplace
Or something else to hold in all the heat

But I’ve seen my hands stained red
Yes my body’s bled and oh how it has wept
But I’ve seen my hands stained red
Yes my body’s bled and oh how it has wept
Much less than the others
I’d give my life for another inch closer to a world more than this

But I’ve seen your hands stained red
Yes your body’s bled and oh how it has wept
But I’ve seen my hands stained red
Yes my body’s bled and oh how it has wept
