My lil sis is grad-u-a-ting
Can't deny the joy it brings
Long banquet parties, money gifts
Sad good-byes, and we all cry

Pomp and circumstance you will hear
And you just want the world to cheer
But like contacts dropped down the sink
All's lost–you shudder to think

The monster inside me
It can chew and spit you out
In a desert dry with drought
Lighting flash! then blacked out

The monster inside me
It doesn't care your hero's gone
And you cannot stop the dawn
There's no star to wish upon

Now I was once a graduate
I had no friends and studied till I sweat
Needed to be the teacher's pet
I was miserable and now upset

I knew I'd throw my life away
I knew it'd be that everyday
Said I'd always fully live
In a time I need to relive

The monster inside me
It can chew and spit you out
In a desert dry with drought
Lighting flash! then blacked out

The monster inside me
It doesn't care your hero's gone
And you cannot stop the dawn
There's no star to wish upon

Everytime I reminisce
I think my life then was just pure bliss
My mind keeps strugglin' and beggin'
Will it ever end?

My happy endings never come
Like I have never seen the sun
It seems no matter how I live
I've got noth-ing to give

The monster inside me
It can chew and spit you out
In a desert dry with drought
Lighting flash! then blacked out

The monster inside me
(A doomed snail on a crowded lawn)
It doesn't care your hero's gone
(My smile's off, never on)
And you cannot stop the dawn
There's no star to wish upon

The monster inside me
It can chew and spit you out
Lightning flash! then blacked out
