Monsters Inside Lyrics

I've blindly followed

I've made some real mistakes

I've lost and I have cheated

Leading too many hearts to break

It's past the past-time

And I'm not running from memories

'Cuz I'm trying to be better than the prick you knew from the suburbs

Not passive or patient

I'm trying and failing

And still not prevailing and clinically struggling

Is it good fortune that affords us the distraction?

Which allows us to continue down the path that we otherwise would not approve of

Blinders on our consciousness

We can't play the victim

It's past the past-time

And I'm not running from memories

'Cuz I'm trying to be better than the prick you knew from the suburbs

Not passive or patient

I'm trying and failing

And still not prevailing and clinically struggling

We've lost our masks now, it's all for the show

And we burn bright in the shadow by the fire's amber glow

We're monsters on the inside and the villagers all know

No amount of makeup can cover what we've sewn

Was it even worth it?

I promise not to tell
