Monster

Just make this go away
There’s nothing left inside for you to take

I can’t believe I’m all by myself
Ripping away all that remains
Pieces of me, they just fall away

As I fall, further away from myself
I seek the days that escape me
I choke on the ones I’m left with
The monster’s building inside me

And I hate the way I feel
I pray the wounds will heal
Before the darkness
How long will this last?

I try – with every waking moment of my life
As I waste away
To hide – the monster that is building up inside
The scars in me
So blind – pins and needles buried in my eyes
Whats left of me
Goodbye – to everything thats chasing me

Look into my eyes, do you see yourself?
The reflection I see everyday
I’d bury my hate, but the pain is killing me

As I look in the mirror to see my face clearer
Reflections of shame staring back at me
I choke on my wretchedness
The monster builds up inside me

And I hate the way I feel
I pray the wounds will heal
Before the darkness
How long will this last?

I try – with every waking moment of my life
As I waste away
To hide – the monster that is building up inside
The scars in me
So blind – pins and needles buried in my eyes
Whats left of me
Goodbye – to everything thats chasing me

So blind – now I know how you make me feel
So tired – everything I know is crushing me
And I know that you can not trust in me
Now I know how you make me feel
