Rhyming Monsters
I have monsters in my veins
These monsters, they invade my brain
When they pump through my heart
and mix everything up
These monsters keep me insane,
cynical, running from pain
These monsters, they ruin my mind
Run around like insects, force my hands
to write in rhyme, write in time
When I write a rhyme my fingers
shake with thought
When I write a rhyme my monsters
like to wrestle, and fight
Fight with my will, fight with my heart
I have monsters in my veins
they like to mess with my brain
And nothing else pleases me more
than when they get the artist,
the poet in me to sing
But when these monsters nibble,
and gnaw at everything
Sometimes it doesn't sound much
like singing
I have monsters in my veins
These monsters, they invade my brain
When they pump through my heart
and mix everything up
These monsters keep me insane,
cynical, running from pain
These monsters, they ruin my mind
Run around like insects, force my hands
to write in rhyme, write in time
When I write a rhyme my fingers
shake with thought
When I write a rhyme my monsters
like to wrestle, and fight
Fight with my will, fight with my heart
I have monsters in my veins
they like to mess with my brain
And nothing else pleases me more
than when they get the artist,
the poet in me to sing
But when these monsters nibble,
and gnaw at everything
Sometimes it doesn't sound much
like singing
