Monsters

(Verse)
They tell you that monsters aren’t real,
That it’s all just make believe.
But they haven’t been inside my head,
The can’t know what I see. 
The monsters are there,
Clear as day. 
They’re always whispering,
And you won’t believe what they say. 

(Pre-chorus)
I can’t make them stop,
No matter how hard I try.
Why can’t I make them stop?
They make me want to die.

(Chorus)
I’m arguing with the monsters in my head,
And they’re always trying to have me dead.
I can’t stand the voices anymore,
The screams so loud they’re tearing at my core. 
I’m just ready to end it all,
I’m ready to take the fall. 
Yea, I’m arguing with the monsters in my head. 

(Verse 2)
They tell me I’m nothing but a waste of breath,
That I’m too far gone to save.
Every mirror shows a stranger’s face,
Every thought digs me a grave.
They laugh when I try to fight back,
Say I’ll never win this war.
Every time I hit the ground,
They’re waiting at the floor.

(Pre-Chorus)
I scream but no one hears me,
It echoes in my skull.
I try to find the silence,
But the silence never comes.

(Chorus)
I’m arguing with the monsters in my head,
And they’re always trying to have me dead.
I can’t stand the voices anymore,
The screams so loud they’re tearing at my core. 
I’m just ready to end it all,
I’m ready to take the fall. 
Yea, I’m arguing with the monsters in my head.

(Bridge – stripped down, desperate)
If I could rip them out of me,
I’d tear apart my mind.
If I could shut them up for good,
I’d leave myself behind.
I’m so tired of this battle
That I never asked to fight…
I just want one second
Where everything is quiet.

(Chorus)
I’m arguing with the monsters in my head,
And they’re always trying to have me dead.
I can’t stand the voices anymore,
The screams so loud they’re tearing at my core. 
I’m just ready to end it all,
I’m ready to take the fall. 
Yea, I’m arguing with the monsters in my head. 
I’m arguing with the monsters in my head,
And they’re always trying to have me dead.
I can’t stand the voices anymore,
The screams so loud they’re tearing at my core. 
I’m just ready to end it all,
I’m ready to take the fall. 
Yea, I’m arguing with the monsters-
And they’re winning inside my head.
