One day I will be who I wanna be, no one will tell ME what to do, it will be MY life that I will live for myself.

Hiding myself
Behind a smile

Holding back tears for a while

Held in emotions
Creating a monster

We don't hide monsters
We create them

And then hide them away
And pretend they're not there

You're a liar
But a good one at that

You do it without feeling
Feeding your monster

He craves the things
The things that hurt you

That's why you don't feel it
The farther you get

The first time you feel it
But then it goes away

And after a while
He takes all the pain

You have to kill him
Before its too late

Your monster is a killer
And drains your life away
