The Monster is Me

[Verse 1] Shadows crawl across the ceiling, Every sound’s a war inside my head. I remember faces screaming, But it’s me who left the scar instead. [Pre-Chorus] I swore I’d never be like them, But the mirror says I lied. All the pain I carried forward Is the thing I tried to hide. [Chorus] I see their eyes when I close mine, Every cruelty comes back in time. The sins I buried are haunting me, And there’s no escape, no remedy. I beg for forgiveness, but who could believe.. The monster is me! the monster is me! [Verse 2] Flashbacks cut me like a razor, Memories I can’t erase. Every act of hate and anger Etched across my face. [Bridge] Can you forgive a soul this stained? Or am I bound to wear this blame? I never wanted to be this way, But the truth won’t fade.. I can’t escape. [Final Chorus – fade out at the end] I see their eyes when I close mine, Every cruelty comes back in time. The sins I buried are haunting me, And there’s no escape, no remedy. I beg for forgiveness, but who could believe.. The monster is me… The monster is me… The monster is me… The monster is me… The monster is me…
