Your Kindness Let a Monster In

from Your Kindness Let a Monster In by Spiral

lyrics

His eyes are sunk in shadowed brows
and his bony fingers curl around dirty bottles.
His lips are cracked and bleeding
and his clothes smell of rotting life.

And he’s holding tight to a memory
Of a young girl’s caress.
And everyone said it was a mistake
but he knows she was meant to be his.

And when he bangs loudly on the screen
you eye him suspiciously from the kitchen.
Until he holds out his old broken claws
and grabs you by the pity.

Now every step you took is etched in my memory.
You told me to make him a sandwich and opened the door.
But he didn’t want our food.
Maybe he thought you were her.
The girl that had touched him so tenderly.
