lyrics

I’m the shy one at parties,
Studying clock faces,
Waiting for exits,
Hiding in dark places.
Here out of duty,
Expecting the worst,
Which comes in the form,
Of the deplorable host.

The monster at the centre of the room,
The spider at the heart of the web,
The heart of the problem,
The cause of the distress,
The fear that here’s a destiny unavoidable at best.

The life of the party,
His voice above all,
Drunk and obnoxious,
Handsome and tall,
The jokes are banal,
but rewarded with laughs,
If Hell was a drama,
He’d be the cast.

The monster at the centre of the room,
The spider at the heart of the web,
The heart of the problem,
The cause of the distress,
The fear that there’s no destiny avoidable at best.

Cast aside at parties,
Not allowed to speak,
No one to talk to,
No exit to seek,
Here for the longrun,
At twenty past nightmare,
The clock hands have frozen,
Faces despair.

The monster at the centre of the room,
The spider at the heart of the web,
The heart of the problem,
The cause of the distress,
The fear that here’s a destiny unavoidable at best.

There’ll be other parties,
After the event,
Our positions may yet alter,
I might relent,
If I was reprogrammed,
A new ghost in my skin,
I’ll plead to my makers,
Don’t make me him.

The monster at the centre of the room,
The spider at the heart of the web,
The heart of the problem,
The cause of the distress,
The fear that here’s a destiny unavoidable at best.
The monster at the centre of the room,
The spider at the heart of the web,
The heart of the problem,
The cause of the distress,
The fear that there’s no destiny avoidable at best.
