Gods & Monsters
The American Horror Story Cast Lyrics

In the land of Gods and monsters
I feel like I live in a world where I have to constantly live up to unrealistic expectations and be perfect, like a land ruled by gods and monsters.

I was an angel
I'm not perfect, but I used to be innocent and pure like an angel before I experienced the world's evils.

Living in the garden of evil
I am surrounded by temptation and corrupting influences, like Adam and Eve's garden of temptation.

Screwed up, scared, doing anything that I needed
I'm struggling and scared, willing to do whatever it takes to get by in this world.

Shining like a fiery beacon
Despite everything, I still stand out and shine, like a signal of hope amidst darkness and despair.

You got that medicine I need
I am in need of something to numb my pain and help me cope, like a medicine for my troubles.

Fame, liquor, love give it to me slowly
I am looking for things that can bring me joy and make me feel alive, but I want them in a slow, steady way that won't overwhelm me.

Put your hands on my waist, do it softly
I am seeking physical comfort and intimacy, but I want it to be gentle and tender.

Me and God, we don't get along so now I sing
I have lost my faith or never had it to begin with, and now I express myself through singing instead of prayer.

No one's gonna take my soul away
I am determined to keep my spirit and identity intact, even in the face of adversity and danger.

I'm living like Jim Morrison
I am living a wild and reckless life, like the famous rock star Jim Morrison.

Headed towards a messed up holiday
I am on a path towards chaos and destruction, like an ill-fated holiday trip that goes wrong.

Motel sprees, sprees and I'm singing
I am indulging in vices and pleasures, like wild parties in cheap motels, all while singing my heart out.

'Oh yeah give it to me this is heaven, what I truly want'
I am fully embracing my desires and passions, regardless of what society or religion says, because it feels like heaven to me.

It's innocence lost
I have lost my innocence and naivety, becoming jaded and disillusioned by the world's ugliness.

Looking to get hit hard
I am seeking intense experiences and emotions that can shake me to my core, like a physical blow.

Like a groupie incognito posing as a real singer
I am pretending to be someone or something I'm not, like a fan pretending to be part of the band.

Life imitates art
My reality feels like it's taking cues from fictional stories and art, blurring the lines between what's real and what's not.

Dope, shoot it up, straight to the heart please
I am using drugs to escape my pain and reality, and I want them to hit me hard and fast.

I don't really wanna know what's good for me
I am aware that my actions are self-destructive, but I don't care to be told what is best for me.

God's dead, I said 'baby that's alright with me'
I have rejected or lost my faith in God, and I'm okay with that because it frees me from religious guilt and obligation.

When you talk it's like a movie and you're making me crazy
Your words and actions are so captivating and intense, it's like I'm living in a movie or fantasy world, making me feel overwhelmed and insane.

'Cause life imitates art
Our reality seems to be shaped by stories and art, like a reflection of what's seen in movies and books.

If I get a little prettier can I be your baby?
I am trying to improve my appearance to gain someone's love and approval, even if it means changing myself.

You tell me, 'life isn't that hard'
You are trying to reassure me that life isn't as difficult as I make it out to be, but you don't really understand my struggles.
