“The Monster”
A Song for Hali’a
Written & Performed by Sarah Bernstein
Lyrics
VERSE
Another night locked up in my room
Writing a song for no one to hear or sing along to
That’s when I see a pair of converse shoes
And indigo hair crawl out of nowhere
Say I didn’t mean to scare you
But I like music too…
CHORUS
And this monster knew the words to all of my songs
Every chorus every verse
I’ve ever wrote, I’ve ever sung
It meant something all along
To someone out there
Who actually cared
Beyond the bluebird on my window sill
And the monster is the reason I rock on
For an audience of none
OUTRO
Even if the monster is the only one
Even if the monster is the only one…
I’ve ever known who holds a second
degree blackbelt in taekwondo
And has their own bearded dragon
Back at home named Chorizo
And they might be the only one
but in the end if it’s just us–
Then tell the monster it’s been fun…
