Monster Inside of Me

Fear in me, sunken so deep 
Shadows surround me; 
They reap.  
Crying for me to die and for my life to appease 
My life is mine to keep.  
Silenced by a pleaded please 
My demons watch me as I leap.  
Trembling at my knees; 
They watch me as I sleep.  

Awake me from this nightmare  
I need you here!  
Hold me with all your love and care 
My life is yours to steer 
We'd make a wonderful pair.  

I'm in here without you  
In this casket of misery and hate. 
You should be here too  
It's too late 

Breaking free 
My black wings fly 
Say goodbye to me 
Before you die.  

Fire all around us  
One last kiss  
One last hush  
Before I send you to the dark bliss.   

Demons pounding at your soul  
Their hands cold  
Their bodies as black as coal.  
You have been sold.  

I used you.  
You used me.  
I threw you into the eternal brew 
Of black and dark blue.  
It's time for you to see  
What you've done to me  
Pull back my mask 
To see 
The monster inside of me.
