Monster

There used to be a girl that held her head high

She walked the world like she owned the place

So full of innocence, heart filled with resistance

Repelling the lies that would cause her to break


Oh, but she didn’t know

Her heart was on her sleeve, and misery loves company

And she didn’t see

What was coming her way, until it was much too late


Now she, is the monster

Hiding under your bed at night, erasing your lullabies

She, will hunt you down

With ice in her veins, her eyes on her pain

And Im sorry

That it had to be this way, I promise the nightmares will fade, for you

But she’s haunted by her demons, and she has nothing left to lose

She’s running from a past, that still has something to prove

Maybe the ghosts will find a reason to leave, but nothing can rip this monster out of me.


Every night she walks outside to where the moon is full

Hopes with every piece of her that this will end

But that hope is fleeting, the demons keep feeding

On the parts of her that make her break and bend.


Oh, what a tragedy

That the beast killed the beauty, with a dagger so lovely

What is the meaning of this

With a heart so distraught, and a mind so lost.


Now she, is the monster

Hiding under your bed at night, erasing your lullabies

She, will hunt you down

With ice in her veins, her eyes on her pain

And Im sorry

That it had to be this way, I promise the nightmares will fade, for you

But she’s haunted by her demons, and she has nothing left to lose

She’s running from a past, that still has something to prove

Maybe the ghosts will find a reason to leave, but nothing can rip this monster out of me.


Here comes resistance

Here comes innocence

Here comes everything she used to be.

Where is the lesson here

Where is the reason why

Where is the noble thing that she calls time.


Now she, is the monster

Hiding under your bed at night, erasing your lullabies

She, will hunt you down

With ice in her veins, her eyes on her pain

And Im sorry

That it had to be this way, I promise the nightmares will fade, for you

But she’s haunted by her demons, and she has nothing left to lose

She’s running from a past, that still has something to prove

Maybe the ghosts will find a reason to leave, but nothing can rip this monster out of me.


Now she, is the monster

Hiding under your bed at night, erasing your lullabies

She, will hunt you down

With ice in her veins, her eyes on her pain

And Im sorry

But she’s haunted by her demons, and she has nothing left to lose

She’s running from a past, that still has something to prove

Maybe the ghosts will find a reason to leave, but nothing can rip this monster out of me.


This monster out of me.

This monster in me.

Maybe the ghosts will find a reason to leave, but nothing can hide this monster in me.
