I Am a Monster

Set the stage, rattle the cage
The demons are out thick tonight.
Staring into your eyes, I see myself
Falling apart, dying inside, a shell.

I would ask you why you've done this
But you have long since turned your back
I would hurt myself, just to feel alive
But I cannot see through the blood.

The sweetest sight of the world
Spilled upon your form,
I have made a masterpiece.

I have no feelings for this.
You have robbed me of life.
I see no reason to miss,
What killed me to begin with.

Revenge is not the answer,
It is more like a question.
The blood running from your face
That is the answer I mention.

War is nothing but a good time,
Death left and right,
It reminds me of my own mind
In the middle of the night.

Imagine the fires of hell,
Swept up in a hurricane.
That is but my mind,
And I am in the eye of hate

You might ask me what I feel
The answer is nothing..
Nothing is real.
This mask I am so fond of
I wear it every second
Nothing else is familiar anymore.

I am a shell of nothing, a man who is dead
All that's left with me, the demons in his head.
I regret nothing, and endure it all
For I am just a monster, ready to fall.
