Monster

This frail skin and the trembling underneath it

Floorboards crack and bend

No longer holding up with each step

So many skeletons hidden under my bed

So many secrets, I can't remember where the truth begins

This suffocating air

I remain in constant disrepair

Heavy are the chains but so impossible to see

Every time the lights go out

Every time I turn around

You push me to the edge

I'm the monster

Gotta get away from you

Maybe then I'll see the truth

Should have seen it from the start

You're the monster

I couldn't believe you'd keep testing me

Over and over

You're wearing me thin

I'm holding it in till it takes over

You watch my every move

You know what I'm gonna do

Why can I only dream of times I was free?

It lives inside of me

All this weight, it is smothering

So I let the darkness in

I let the darkness in

(You're the monster)

Every time the lights go out

Every time I turn around

You push me to the edge

I'm the monster

Gotta get away from you

Maybe then I'll see the truth

Should have seen it from the start

You're the monster

Now you know my secret

I hope that you can keep it

Infractions now habitual

Vices become rituals

I need you gone

What have I become?

(Beckoning my soul) You destroyed everything

(Beckoning my soul) Transforming man to beast

Every time the lights go out

Every time I turn around

You push me to the edge

I'm the monster

Gotta get away from you

Maybe then I'll see the truth

Should have seen it from the start

You're the monster

You're the monster, you're the monster

You're the monster, you're the monster
