Last Night I Sang to the Monster Quotes

“For a moment, I thought of the word happy and it was a word that just, well, it felt like it was visiting me. I knew it wouldn’t last for very long and I’d be sad again and then it would be worse because it’s one thing to be sad and it’s another thing to be sad once you’ve been happy. Being sad after you’ve been happy is the worst thing in the world.”

“I have it in my head that when we’re born, God writes things down on our hearts. See, on some people’s hearts he writes happy and on some people’s hearts he writes sad and on some people’s hearts he writes crazy and on some people’s hearts he writes genius and on some people’s hearts he writes angry and on some people’s hearts he writes winner and on some people’s hearts he writes loser.”

“Así que esta es mi nueva adicción: recordar. Y lo digo en serio. Es tan extraño y tan raro y tan peculiar querer recordar. Se siente mal y se siente bien al mismo tiempo. Se siente mal por la obvia razón de que me sucedieron cosas malas. Se siente bien porque recordar me ayuda a sacar todas las cosas negativas de mi cuerpo. Verán, así es como pienso ahora: mi cuerpo entero, con mi cerebro y mi corazón incluidos, era un vertedero que se lleno de basura. Y bueno, ahora estoy encargándome de la limpieza.”

“What is this thing you call substance abuse? All I wanna do is forget and get loose. Drinking and smoking over and over What's so great about a life that's sober? There's nothing cool about being young When the monsters of night have stolen the sun. I'm tired of searching for words in the sky. All I wanna do is drink and die. Nothing is real. It's all a big lie. All I wanna do is drink and die. There's nothing cool about being young When the monsters of night have stolen the sun.”
