The Monster Inside

It’s not enough (it’s not enough)

it needs another go

another round (another round)

an infinite encore

My hands are bleeding (bleeding out)

they’re cracking and they’re sore

tears are trickling (trickling down)

remind me; what’s this all for?

You put me here

the protector of your health

without me

you will meet with certain death

You’re never pleased (never pleased)

You’re here to criticize

You’re always right (always right)

my freedom sacrificed

You put me here

the protector of your health

without me

you will meet with certain death

You see, that I can’t stop,

I lose control

It fills me up,

you consume all of my soul

It’s not enough (it’s not enough)

it needs another go

a lower bow, (a lower bow)

down to my knees, I go

You keep me safe (so very safe)

keep me away from harm

Sadistic ways (sadistic ways)

my reason raises alarm

With soothing voice

you tell me have done well

like I had a choice

never now, and never again

I can’t stop

I lose control

The monster inside

will eat you whole, and leave

you broken down

I lose control

it tears me up to see what

I’ve become,

and what’s gone

Every time I turn around

you are there to pull me down

Every time I try to run I stare

into this barrel of a gun

Every time I close my eyes

you embrace me with your lies

Every time I feel defeat

I’m lifted up by your deceit

With soothing voice

you tell me have done well

like I had a choice

never now, never again

You see, that I can’t stop

I lose control

The monster inside will eat you whole,

and leave you broken down,

I lose control it tears me up

to see what I’ve become,

and what’s gone

You put me here

the protector of your health

without me you will

meet with certain death
