Monster Inside
We're all monsters...
Monsters searching, still searching
For a new victim to devour
I can not begin to explain the terrors I've seen
With this new wisdom I've encountered
Lurking, ever so quietly in the shadows
I could never drop this veil
My own self-conscious is hollow
Tapping the keys...writing my failures
I can't show my true self
Declining slowly,
There goes my health
Left in the dark, lonely
I'm disgusted by this
What is this that have I become
Still a fragment of my wounded heart
Desperately wants to embrace
This deep, dark part me
Every day I mask myself
With a fresh, friendly face
So my loved ones
See me for who I once was...
It's becoming more bleak
Thoughts spiralling into
Intricate arrays of disaster
Would this ruin their image
Of this darkness lurking in my soul?
Some days I just want to drop dead
But why should I part?
There is still hope to feed off of
Still countless angels to avenge
Inside us, this brokenness...
Our demons will presson on
Until we fall hoplessly
Clinging onto a non-existent edge
The only option available at the time
Could it be I must surreneder?
Or so you thought...
Take this as a reminder
