Creature Lyrics

Tell me your fears

And I'll make them rhyme

Are you running down the clock

Are you falling out of time

Are you dancing off a precipice

Of your mortality

Where the monster meets its maker

And the river meets the sea

There's a creature on the stage

Drinking all the wine

Singing all the pretty songs

Telling everyone they're fine

While everything is burning

The world is all ablaze

And we'll all go out together

In a dreamy kind of haze

Can you count upon your fingers

The gifts you've received

The ones that brought you comfort

And granted a reprieve

From a world wrought of anger

Suffering and greed

A gift like this is sacred

You can plant it like a seed

Take it to the land

Where the river has run dry

Dig a hole into the earth

To the aquifer inside

Draw the water from the well

Plant that little seed

It might be our salvation

That might be what we need
