Monarch

I sat down with my lonely ghost

The Saturday evening post I grabbed

From the shelf

There'd been a man who'd crashed his car

Lost control trying to get very far

Away from himself

I stood up and looked out the window

Listening to the storms crescendo

Lights flash

Camera, action

Fake a smile just to show compassion

What if we knew what we all were lacking

Could you accept the change

And the mistakes you've made

And look how far you've come

A good man who'd placed his life

In the hands of Jesus Christ

Had ended up in the dark of the night

Chasing his dreams for a couple cheap screams

Hoping to get big on TV

To say, hey mom, aren't you so proud

Fake a smile just to show compassion

What if we knew what we all were lacking

Could you accept the change

And the mistakes you've made

And look

Look how far you've come

Could you accept the change

And the mistakes you've made

And look

Look how far you've come
