[Intro] The monster is not dead You've been warned! [Verse 1] I wear a SMILE like an unholy SAINT The devil's CALM behind an angel's FACE Something STIRS beneath the SKIN A hunger OLD as original SIN [Pre-Chorus] You think you've SEEN the worst of ME You haven't SCRATCHED the surface YET [Chorus] The monster INSIDE of me isn't DEAD He's asleep patiently WAITING For someone to WAKE him Don't you DARE test what lives in this CHEST One wrong MOVE and you'll be FACING What I've been CONTAINING [Verse 2] I kept him CHAINED a thousand NIGHTS Kept him HUNGRY kept him BLIND Every WOUND you drove in DEEP Fed the BEAST I put to SLEEP [Pre-Chorus] You think you've SEEN the worst of ME You haven't SCRATCHED the surface YET [Chorus] The monster INSIDE of me isn't DEAD He's asleep patiently WAITING For someone to WAKE him Don't you DARE test what lives in this CHEST One wrong MOVE and you'll be FACING What I've been CONTAINING [Bridge] This isn't RAGE this is something WORSE Ancient COLD and perfectly REHEARSED You wanted the DARKNESS you called for the STORM Then PRAY you survive what you've been begging FOR [Final Chorus] The MONSTER inside of me isn't DEAD He's asleep patiently WAITING For someone to WAKE him Don't you DARE test what lives in this CHEST One wrong MOVE and you'll be FACING What I've been CONTAINING
