Outside the sunshine’s bright Inside I lurk Outside people laughing in the light Inside I smirk Outside the sunlight burns my skin Blood boil, molten lava heating from within Inside I lurk, recoiling from even myself Ignoring those around me, like items on a dusty shelf Skin pale and taught yet wrinkled somehow, Barely able to speak in a sentence now A creature craving the dark and the shadows Inside knowing it deserves the gallows When did I become this monster Outside I crave to wander My crawl turns into a saunter An invisible wall turns my effort to blunder Oh I’m a golem in the dark Pasty skin and hollow heart My body’s gonna need a spark Something to get it started I didn’t know how far I’d fallen Oh I’m a monster, I’m a golem I need something to get me started Take my money take my precious I’m tired of lurking in the shadows Let me out into the light let it burn away my skin Let my veins boil from within I don’t want to be this monster any longer Let the daylight make me stronger Inside the memory of a better day is locked away The reflection in the mirror is just a haze Outside the light promises a better way Fight through the pain for another day Inside the monster slashes at itself again Convinced its presence will make the others cringe Craving the light it hugs the dark again Fearing the voices it hears within Oh I’m a golem in the dark Pasty skin and hollow heart My body’s gonna need a spark Something to get it started I didn’t know how far I’d fallen Oh I’m a monster, I’m a golem I need something to get me started Take my money take my precious I’m tired of lurking in the shadows Let me out into the light let it burn away my skin Let my veins boil from within I don’t want to be this monster any longer Let the daylight make me stronger
