Monster In Me.

Monster In Me

Tell me, do I belong here?
Disapproving nightmares; day after month after year.
I hide from the truth, I embrace the lies.
Am I a monster in your eyes?

I kidnap your secrets and penetrate your mind.
Have I damaged you yet, miss one-of a-kind?
You’re too young to know this, but I really do care.
But my feelings are such that I just cannot share.

There’s a monster in me.
There’s a monster in me.
That’s been dormant for all of this eternity.
Threatened by a fond word,
Awakened by blue, blue eyes.
Will you be my saviour?
Or just another unholy demise?

There’s a monster in me …
(Bring on the chains, it needs a new cage.)

Teach me, that I’m part of this place.
Is there something more than the look on your face?
Concrete, concrete, I need it to be real.
Is there a way to measure how much we can feel?

I re-break the broken and discard the rest
Are you empty enough to pass this test?
Maybe I should leave you; maybe I’ve tried.
Can I survive the jump from this ride?

There’s a monster in me.
There’s a monster in me.
Clawing at my heart because on my blood it feeds.
It’s made me go cold, it’s taught me to hurt.
A mess I am; another piece of worthless art.
Will you be my saviour?
Or just tear me apart?

There’s a monster in me.
(Lock it away, save me today).

I tried so for so long.
To tell them, to force them.
To run.
(Please listen)
To leave.
(Just stay)
To kill me.
(I’m alive).
To hate.
(I love you)

There’s a monster in me.
There’s a monster in me.
Begging for forgiveness, peaceful sanity.
I don’t want to hurt you, I don’t want to leave.
I want you to listen, I need you to see.
Will you be my saviour?
Or the reaper that scatters the pieces of me?

There’s a monster in me.
There’s a monster in me.
(I’m a monster in me,
You’re a monster in me.)

Tell me, how are you so strong?
Tell me, were you the monster all along?
