[Lyric] Creature (The Consolation)

[Verse 1]
Wake up what is left of me tonight
Should I go or stay? I can't decide
Oh, I need a victory
But I'm too tired to fight
Honey, this is every little lie
This is instinct's alibi
This is why I wake up terrified
This is why I hide

[Chorus]
I know I promised you I'd tell the ugly truth
That's how I'd make it right
So if you see in me a creature you could love
On my darkest night
Could you look me in the eye?
Could you tell me it's alright?

[Verse 2]
This is what I'm bringing back
What I thought I had to have
Let it be my epitaph
Oh, let it be my epitaph
And when I'm shaken down by the weight of it
Look me in the eye
And when I'm shaken down by the shame of it
I need you by my side
[Chorus]
I know I promised you I'd tell the ugly truth
That's how I'd make it right
So if you see in me a creature you could love
On my darkest night
Could you look me in the eye?
Could you tell me it's alright?

[Outro]
This is where you know I'll be
This is what the verdict means
Something I won't try to comprehend, again
This is where you know I'll be
All the years in front of me
When I made my mind to leave, you turn to me again
Oh, this is where you know I'll be
This is what the verdict means
Yeah, something I won't try to comprehend, again
This is where you know I'll be
All the years in front of me
Oh, when I made my mind to leave, you turn to me again
When I made my mind to leave, you turn to me again
When I made my mind to leave, you turn to me again
