Monster

Monster

V1

I have a Monster; she sits on my shoulder

She tells me lies to keep me confused

Sometimes I fight her; sometimes I give in

But either way it feels like I’m losing it

For once I get a breath of air, a moment of quick freedom

But then she’s back, around my chest, and I’m on my knees again

What do I do? What did I do? What do I do now?

Chorus

At night they scream at me

They tell me that what I’ll never be

My logic flees the scene

And I believe it

And I know that there’s something going on

But I can’t convince myself

What’s real

The darkness overcomes my mind

This pain I feel

V2

Holding onto the smallest looks and glances

Voices that tell me I’ll never keep advancing

Where are you? Why haven’t I heard?

Oh, The clock says just five minutes have gone dancing

The faces, all their faces; they’re saying I’m mistaken

Check my phone and touch my cheek; do they know I’m faking it?

What do I do? What did I do? What do I do 

now?

 Bridge

And now in the darkest corners of my mind 

I see it all like in the mirror Just fine 

It was always you watching from that corner eye

And jealous , they tried to keep me from flying 

But baby I see me and I like what I see 

So tell me are you trying to change me for me? 

Or because, for you it's better easy 

Faced my shadow, loved her, now I'm free

Chorus
