Monster In Me Lyrics

There's a shadow in my mirror staring back at me

A voice that whispers when I'm too blind to see

It's taken my hand when no one else would

Guided my steps when I misunderstood

The world calls it darkness but I know it's light

It keeps me grounded when I'm ready to fight

I've run from the faces the lies I can't flee

But the only one I trust is the monster in me

It's the beast in my blood the fire in my veins

The only one who stays through the pleasure and the pain

When the world falls apart it's the truth I can see

I'm not alone there's a monster in me

A guardian a curse my bittersweet guide

The one I embrace when I've nowhere to hide

It speaks in a growl but I hear its plea

"Don't let them break you stay wild stay free "

When the cracks in my soul start to bleed through the seams

It stitches them up with the threads of my dreams

I've learned to stop fearing the claws and the teeth

For they've only ever shielded the heart underneath

The world might condemn it but they'll never see

The savior I've found in the monster in me

It's the beast in my blood the fire in my veins

The only one who stays through the pleasure and the pain

When the world falls apart it's the truth I can see

I'm not alone there's a monster in me

A guardian a curse my bittersweet guide

The one I embrace when I've nowhere to hide

They told me to tame it to silence its song

But they don't understand it's been right all along

The monster's my armor my anchor my friend

The one thing that's real in a world that pretends

It's the beast in my blood the fire in my veins

The only one who stays through the pleasure and the pain

When the world falls apart it's the truth I can see

I'm not alone there's a monster in me

A guardian a curse my bittersweet guide

The one I embrace when I've nowhere to hide

So I walk with the shadow I speak with its voice

Together we rise it's my only choice

It's the monster I trust when I'm too blind to see

For I'm only human and it's the monster in me
