"The Ballad Of The Bride Of Frankenstein" lyrics

"The Ballad Of The Bride Of Frankenstein"

I am the bride, of Frankenstein
My hair shocked through with, that crazy line
Eyes wide and mouth crying
'Better to be dead than dying'
But that wasn't my own thought first
It just kept me from my own hurt

We are monsters, a perfect pair
You make me crazy, I make you scared
Is it the city, is it the things we chose
Was it the plague, the way the whole world froze
How do we change, how do we become real
Reanimation is a rotten deal

Once I was someone, my very own friend
I had so much fun, I never had to pretend
I was better than I was not
I was happy without a thought
I was flesh and blood born
My life was a unicorn

Once I was younger, a real catch and some
I gave you a hunger, made you want to become
My uncontested champion
My desire to let you in
The winner of my secret heart
So how did everything fall apart?

Always tried to keep upright, always tried to save
The person I was when my memories made
An uninterrupted holograph
I made it up and it made me laugh
But a real grownup shouldn't be so loose
You couldn't understand my attitude

And then I disappeared through a person shaped hole
Like a cookie cut out from a life that I stole
I didn't want to quit paying my dues
But that I did is the oldest news
I couldn't bear to be stretched so thin
With what I had I just couldn't win

So you lost your color, you lost your love
Like a person swept under, no breath to come up
You were drowning in your feelings
But you couldn't share you were reeling
And I couldn't find you anywhere
So I panicked and left you there
Ran out so many times
Eyes wide and mouth crying
I'm your bride my Frankenstein
By your side my Frankenstein
