“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…
