Monster

Father God, please forgive us of our sins Living my life in a fucked up haze I know I should pray Repent every day, and God is the way But I feel as if there is too much to say I made friends with the dragon that sits at my window What I'm sipping is different, and you probably could tell that by the tempo Living it fast as the days go by I see the fire that glows in the sky I seen it all, and I swear I won't lie The lions and tigers and bears, oh, my Feel the vibration from knocks on the door Pull out my heart and let it drop on the floor Drifted away and it washed to the shore Then I demanded to talk to the Lord There's a monster inside of me And there's a monster inside of me There's a monster inside of me And there's a monster inside of me I'm not afraid of the boogeyman (there's a monster) And I'm not afraid of the boogeyman 'Cause there's a monster inside of me I told my daughters not to fear the monsters Daddy is the boogeyman It was written, no truth hidden Real deal, whole again Not sure if me and my reflection never be cool again 'Cause the man in the mirror now fears a foolish sin On the swings at Satan's playground, I'd try to touch the sky Humbled by the fall and the fact I'd never die Staring in the eyes of defeat, cry me a river Had a dream with the devil, he offered to buy me dinner Circle getting thinner, graveyard thicken See them crews, used to eat now they fighting for slim pickings Greed is a sickness, loyalty is rare When you're aware of your own enemies, the playing field is fair I stare dead across that line if what I want on the other side Others hide from the truth while I run to it blind Two guns blazing out the days and I ain't going back My spirit and my soul is at war, under attack There's a monster inside of me And there's a monster inside of me There's a monster inside of me And there's a monster inside of me I'm not afraid of the boogeyman (there's a monster) And I'm not afraid of the boogeyman 'Cause there's a monster inside of me I'm staring at the glare, the monster in the mirror Having turned off all the lights for this picture to get clearer Heard a scream coming from the other room She's on her knees, Lord, why is my son a goon? A coldness rise from his eyes, will it be summer soon? The last warmth that I remember was in my mother's womb So now I fumble through a cluttered tomb where my heart used to be I'm used to who I used to be This new me is so new to me Can I prove to be, will I die in this stereotype Moving to imperial light, prevail the spiritual fight I'll be buried alive, covered by the leaves of fall Mirror, mirror, on the wall, who's the most savage of them all? And there's a monster inside of me And there's a monster inside of me And there's a monster inside of me And there's a monster inside of me I'm not afraid of the boogeyman (there's a monster) And I'm not afraid of the boogeyman 'Cause there's a monster inside of me
