Monster in my Mind

[Intro] They say monsters aren’t real But they don’t know what I feel The thoughts, they cut and steal This pain is the real deal [Arpeggiated Trance Build-Up] [Verse 1] Voices in my head Whispering words of dread I feel the weight of lead Dragging me down, down Strangling me like a snake The thoughts, they never break And when they’re done with me They’ll find someone new [Chorus] I want you to know It’s time for you to go The thoughts, they won’t let me be They push me to the edge You must never show fear Be a light in the dark And when it's done There’s still a monster in my mind So please be careful what you say [Instrumental Interlude] [Verse 2] Why do you not hurt? Why don’t you feel the pain? I don’t understand Is it you who runs the show? Your command laid down its path Sometimes you need someone You crave the troublesome So it can feed off your hand [Bridge] And now it’s time to say goodbye [Chorus] I want you to know It’s time for you to go The thoughts, they won’t let me be They push me to the edge You must never show fear Be a light in the dark And when it's done There’s still a monster in my mind So please be careful what you say [Instrumental Interlude] [Chorus (Reprise)] I want you to know It’s time for you to go The thoughts, they won’t let me be They push me to the edge You must never show fear Be a light in the dark And when it's done There’s still a monster in my mind So please be careful what you say [Sidechained Finish]
