[Verse 1] Something's in the water, at least that's what I blame I can feel a monster that wants to escape [bass slides] Scratching at my insides, no peace, I'm a freak of nature 'Cause recently my thoughts are driving me insane Pulling me apart by the seams in my brain [snare roll] Rolling up my windpipe, wake the beast, time to meet your maker [Pre-Chorus] I can hear it calling when the night gets closer I'm not the one you knew, not the same when it's over If I let it breathe, then the whole room shakes When the pressure breaks, there's no saving grace [Chorus] Let it out, let it out, let the damage show When the monster in me says it wants control I been holding back, but the cracks run deep Now the shadows wake when I lose that sleep Let it out, let it out, hear the sirens scream I'm a war in a shell, I'm a shattered dream If I fall apart, then I fall for real 'Cause the thing in my head ain't learned to heal [Verse 2] I been pacing these hallways like a prisoner of war Every mirror I avoid 'cause it opens up a door See a stranger in my face with a grin I can't explain Like he knows every mistake, every scar, every name Yeah, I tried to bury this, lock it in a vault But the louder that I run, the harder that it talks Now the pulse in my temple like a hammer to steel And the part of me I hid is the part that I feel Tell me who I'm supposed to be when the lights go dim When the guilt comes flooding in and the walls cave in I don't need a savior, I need somebody to restrain 'Cause I'm tired of the silence and the violence in my brain [Pre-Chorus] I can hear it calling when the night gets closer I'm not the one you knew, not the same when it's over If I let it breathe, then the whole room shakes When the pressure breaks, there's no saving grace [Chorus] Let it out, let it out, let the damage show When the monster in me says it wants control I been holding back, but the cracks run deep Now the shadows wake when I lose that sleep Let it out, let it out, hear the sirens scream I'm a war in a shell, I'm a shattered dream If I fall apart, then I fall for real 'Cause the thing in my head ain't learned to heal [Bridge] [half-time, eerie choir underneath] Maybe I was born with the curse in my veins Maybe every version of me ends the same But I won't go quiet when the darkness calls If I'm gonna break, I'ma break these walls [Breakdown] Hands on my throat, still I spit out fire I can feel it climb when I get that higher No escape, no cage, no chain I'm the voice in the static, the fault in the flame If it takes me under, then it takes me whole But I won't be a puppet to a poisoned soul No peace, no sleep, no shame I was made for the war in my name [Final Chorus] Let it out, let it out, let the damage show When the monster in me says it wants control I been holding back, but the cracks run deep Now the shadows wake when I lose that sleep Let it out, let it out, hear the sirens scream I'm a war in a shell, I'm a shattered dream If I fall apart, then I fall for real 'Cause the thing in my head ain't learned to heal [Outro] Something's in the water... Yeah, I blame it on the water...
