Monster VX

## Verse 1
Shadows dance across my wall
The demons in my mind stand tall
They're not beneath my bed at night
They're lurking deep inside my mind
A stranger stares back from my eyes
The monster wears a thin disguise
## Chorus
These monsters aren't beneath my bed
They echo in my thoughts instead
No beasts I fear, no ghosts I flee
For all this time
The monster's been me
## Verse 2
Behind this mask, a voice unheard
My hollow home, my cage preferred
With shadows as my only kin
This emptiness grows from within
I'm more than just these broken parts
A monster with a beating heart
## Chorus
These monsters aren't beneath my bed
They echo in my thoughts instead
No beasts I fear, no ghosts I flee
For all this time
The monster's been me
## Bridge
I'm tired of hiding what I've become
Yearning for love when I've known none
Could warmth and mercy set me free?
Is there something more that I could be?
The face that stares from glass to me
A stranger I don't want to see
Forced to walk these barren lands
My heart's truth too much to withstand
## Verse 3
A voice behind this fractured mask
Begs forgiveness for my past
Alone with demons, wrapped in fate
This emptiness I fill with hate
How long must this darkness last?
## Chorus
These monsters aren't beneath my bed
They echo in my thoughts instead
No beasts I fear, no ghosts I flee
For all this time
The monster's been me
## Outro
My world in flames, my soul aflame
Guide me through this empty dream
Where demons wait for something new
These feelings strange, these feelings true
I play at love, a game so cruel
Yet somewhere deep, my heart breaks through
The monster and the man entwined
Two souls forever intertwined
