The Behemoth Lyrics

I am the monster under the bed

I am home to the angel and the demon

Fucking each other in my head

I am a host to a parasitic

Reminder of my regrets

And my temper, its embers

Burn in me

I am weaker, now that I'm bulletproof

I plead innocent to the ectothermic

Murder of my youth

And I've been ignorant to the scorching beacon

Burning away the blue

In the sky, since this violence

Burned in me

I am a tense little prick

I am a rhapsody spic

I am so unprepared

To admit that I'm sick

I am a penitent rage

Unbearable age

An ungodly display

Of a manic decay

And I am so desperate for a new way to live

And I am so desperate to be in someone else's skin

'Cause I am too scared to live

Too scared to die

Too enraged to forgive

Too afraid to get high

So help me, help me

Pretend to care

Miss Hepburn, Hepburn

If you dare

Wake me up, wake me up

Wake me up from this ugly dream

Wake me up, wake me up

Wake me up from this deathless sleep

Wake me up, wake me up,

Because this hatred is killing me

Wake me up, wake me up

Wake me from my complacency

Wake me up

Wake me up

Wake me up

Wake me up

As I wake up from this sleep

Of unkindness and apathy

The woman washed up from the sea

Whispers something cold to me

Tales of the Sun god's silent kiss

With words unspoken on her lips

Shadows moving in the mist

Of my soul's apocalypse

And I don't know if the story is true

But I'm taking every ounce of faith

And I'm giving it to you

Oh, you'll never see it coming

Until it's standing at your door

To mend your scars with anger

Before you're bursting at the seams

And then you wake up someone different

You're not the same girl as before

You're ugly, but you swear

Nothing is ever as it seems

I think it took my faith

I think it stole my wits

I don't believe in Hell

'Cause nothing's worse than this

This behemoth is my rage

The healing is my fault

The scabs that made me so unwell

The beast that I live to exalt

But I couldn't see him coming

'Til he was standing at my door

To mend my scars with anger

And leave me broken at the seams

And then I woke up someone different

Never the same boy as before

Hiding the truth

Everything is exactly as it seems

And it tore through me like a hurricane

Killing me like a hand grenade

But I was the one who let it in

Yeah, I was the one who pulled the pin

The Sun is too dark to see

Air too thin to breathe

Faith hard to believe

Help me turn back the time

Before I lost my mind

Before the days unkind
