Mannequins 04:39
mannequins all standing in a row, son mannequins all standing in a row. (in a row) one’s got a new hat one’s got a picture in the paper one’s got his hands out. (got his hands out) what do you want? what do you want? what do you want? what do you want? you don’t even know. can you try to reach from the dark to see that your voice is not what it’s meant to be. the crowds walk by but you’re alone. will you lose your mind before it’s time to run away. your own reflection turns you petrified. snakes unfurl with Mommy and Daddy’s eyes. what do you want? what do you want? what do you want? what do you want? you don’t even know. can you try to reach from the dark to see that your voice is not what it’s meant to be. you run and you run and you run and you run and you run, run for your damn lives. you run and you run and you run and you run and you run, look what you’ve left behind.

Underwater 04:21
you took your time you took what you needed. you placed your hands upon my eyes you took what was needed. you used to laugh about my pride as you danced with echoes in my mind. and I have been holding tight to driftwood on a waiting shore. so I’ll hold you underwater breathe with me if you can. slowly fading with the sunlight, your face is turning blank. and the school girls dream of olden towns, lemon lips and sunset walks but I'll hold you underwater while I can. your words don't come out clear this time as you place your lips close to me dear. I won't cry for my sins I won't cry for her I won't cry. oh don't you wonder how I'm coping with your smoky ways? ‘cause I can still remember your face when you walked into the room, the smell of your hair and your cheap perfume, your skin pressed against my arm and thigh, the way you turned and sang into my ear. oh my dear you're dying. so I’ll hold you underwater breathe with me if you can. slowly fading with the sunlight, your face is turning blank. and the school girls dream of olden towns, lemon lips and sunset walks but I'll hold you underwater while I can.

The Courier 05:48
hey baby how's it going? I heard it's snowing where you are. well if it is, I'll send you a star. to guide you and delight you through the long cold nights. so when you look up in the sky, me you will find. don't you know that I want to be floating inside your stormy sea. fish me out with a hook in time, that I whispered into the night. hey baby I heard your story I'm doing fine what's mine is mine. and this town has emptied my heart of things from the start. but I still feel you near me feel your breath against my ear. ‘cause your words like seed gone deep have taken root. don't you know that I hate to be floating inside your stormy sea. fish me out with a hook in time, that I whispered into the night. into the night into the night into the night. (for the faith once delivered cannot be sold) don't you know that I don’t you know that I don’t you know that I don’t you know that I…

These Hands 03:53
I’m trying to understand how life is within my grasp. my skin is a patchwork of sores. my soul is blistered and worn. these hands these hands. so tell me, what do you see? my eyes, mirrors for the part of you you dare not be. my veins clogged with needles and thorns. someone stop this heart from pumping anymore. these hands these hands. and you come to know all you need to know the day you are born the day you are born.

about

MONSTER CAT Singapore

MONSTER CAT channels lush, emotive folk-rock with delicate instrumentation and intense imagery. Layered harmonies evoke the supernatural as fractured love songs cradle listeners between the depths of intimacy and menace. Fragile yet powerful; their music echoes the ebbing of your subconscious hurt. ... more
