A Thousand Stars
Monster Magnet Lyrics

Well I made my fire in flesh
I have created my own passion and desire in myself.

And I keep time inside of my head
I have my own perception of time that is unique and personal to me only.

Like a stone God, I drink from the moon
I am powerful in a way that is not of this world, and I take what I need to sustain myself.

But it's far away and over too soon
But that power is fleeting and never lasts as long as I would like it to.

I can crush a thousand stars and drain your love
I am capable of destroying anything, including what others hold most dear to themselves.

But it never ever seems to be enough
No matter how much destruction I cause, it is never satisfying.

Rape my mind and use my body up
I am willing to give myself up to be used by anyone, including those who would harm me.

A thousand stars, and your love
I am willing to sacrifice everything, even love, to achieve my goals.

When the sun dies, I find a new sun
When something is lost, I have the ability to find something new to replace it.

When the bird flies, I call a new one
When something takes flight, I have the power to call forth something else to take its place.

When the sea dries, I make a new sea
When something is taken away, I am able to create something new to take its place.

And I can't stop the hunger in me
I am driven by a need that cannot be satiated, no matter what I do or acquire.

I could eat a thousand stars and drain your love
I am capable of taking everything from someone, including the things they cherish most.

But it never ever seems to be enough
I can never truly achieve what I desire, no matter how much I take.

Rape my mind and use my body up
I am willing to give all of myself up to be used by anyone, even if it causes me harm.

A thousand stars, and your love
Everything I am willing to sacrifice, including love, will never be enough to satisfy me.

I'm jumping into a big black void
I am willing to take risks and venture into the unknown, even if there is nothing there to catch me.

Just let me sleep away
Sometimes I just want to escape, to not be awake and aware of my desires.

I can't hurt a soul except myself
The only one I am truly capable of hurting is myself.

No telephones, no broken hearts
I desire to eliminate anything that might distract or hinder me from achieving my goals.

No numbers crushing time
I am not beholden to anyone or anything and have complete freedom to do what I wish with my time.

It's the top of the world where no-one dies
I am above it all, with no limits or end to what I can do, and with no consequences for myself.

Well I make my fire in flesh
I create my own passions and desires from within myself.

And I keep time inside of my head
My perception of time is unique to me and can only be understood by me.

Like a stone God, I drink from the moon
I have an otherworldly power, unlike anything mortal beings can possess, and I take what I need to survive.

But it's far away and over too soon
But that power is fleeting, and I can never hold onto it long enough to satisfy myself.

Well I can crush a thousand stars and drain your love
I am able to destroy everything, including love, and take what I want from others.

I could eat a thousand stars and drain your love
I am willing to take everything from others and sacrifice everything, including love, to achieve my goals.

But it never ever seems to be enough
No matter how much I take, it will never truly be enough to satisfy me.

Rape my mind and use my body up
I am willing to give everything up to be used by others, even if it causes me harm.

A thousand stars, and your love
Everything I desire, even the things others hold most dear, will never be enough to satisfy me.
