Lyrics

I wake up with concrete lungs, can't pull in the air
The monster paints graffiti of my doubts everywhere
I scroll 'til my fingers bleed, searching for a cure
But the silence in the static makes me less secure
My shadow keeps receipts of every time I've failed
It whispers like a prophet: "your ship already sailed."
I laugh in conversations, but the mask won't stick
Behind my teeth I'm screaming just to feel legit
Do you hear me?
Do you hear me?
There's a monster under my skin
It's waiting for the moment I let it in
There's a monster under my skin
And it grows every time I let the silence win
The mirror bends my face into a twisted joke
Every compliment I get just feels like second smoke
I patch myself with caffeine, cheap advice, and lies
But the seams keep tearing where the daylight dies
I tried to build a fortress out of songs I wrote
But the cracks in the lyrics let the venom float
So I spit my confession in these bars I bleed
If the monster's gonna kill me, it'll hear me scream
Hear me
Do you hear me?
There's a monster under my skin
It's waiting for the moment I let it in
There's a monster under my skin
And it grows every time I let the silence win
Parasite, you won't own me
You parasite, you'll never break me
Do you hear me?
Can you hear me?
Do you hear me?
Can you hear me?
Do you hear me?
Do you hear me?
There's a monster under my skin
It's waiting for the moment I let it in
There's a monster under my skin
And it grows every time I let the silence win
There's a monster under my skin
There's a monster under my skin
I'm not its shelter, I'm not its home
I'll tear it apart until I stand alone
There's a monster under my skin
