[Verse]
In the muck where I was born
So deep so cold
Life feels heavy inside this murky mold
I watch the stars they shimmer far and fine
Wishing on a world that’ll never be mine
[Chorus]
Oh I got a swamp heart
Drenched and torn
Lonely in the reeds where the night is worn
Wading through a life I’ll never belong
A monster’s blues in a human song
[Verse 2]
They see my shadow and their screams arise
Like thunder clapping under midnight skies
But I just wanted warmth a soft embrace
They reply with fire fear on their face
[Chorus]
Oh I got a swamp heart
Drenched and torn
Lonely in the reeds where the night is worn
Wading through a life I’ll never belong
A monster’s blues in a human song
[Bridge]
Their love’s a river I can’t cross no way
I build a bridge of dreams but it floats away
The ripples mock me with every tide
Echoes of a beast
Too odd
To hide
[Verse 3]
Maybe one day they’ll see I am no foe
Just a thing that’s yearning for a place to grow
But until that time I’ll roam alone at night
Shrouded in the shadows no end in sight
