Becoming the Monster

Yeah, they think they know me, but they don't see what's inside

Voices whisperin' lies, I’m losin’ my mind

Feelin' the fire burn beneath my pride

Fucking monsters in my head, I can't hide

Started as just a spark, now it's a damn blaze

Shadows crawl behind me, I lost my way

They called me an asshole, said I’d fall someday

Now I wear this ice cold mask, keep the pain at bay

Voices in my head, they scream and shout

Tried to fight, but I’m drownin', I can’t figure out

Who I was, what I’m about, I shout, I pout

Slowly turnin' into the monster they talk about

I let the shit in, I embrace the dark

Feelin’ the rage, ignitin' the spark

No more tears, no more scars

I’ve become what they feared from the start

I am the fucking monster, the nightmare you pretend to ignore

Let the voices win, shut the door, never ask me for more

Heartless and cold, I’m lettin’ it all pour

This is who I am now, can’t be loved anymore

Face of a saint, mind of a beast

Turned my back on love, now I feast on the least

Broken and fucked up, but I say I’m at peace

Livin’ the lie, it’s my new release

Voices whisper sweet, tell me I’m right

Drownin’ in chaos, I fuel the fight

Lost all my light, no end in sight

Just a shadow walkin' through the night

Fuck what they say, I’ve made my choice

Raise the middle finger, silence the voice

Built myself a throne of noise

Reign in the madness, I rejoice

Now I’m the demon, the myth, the fear

Tell me I’m nothing, I don’t care

The voices are deafening, but I cheer

This monster’s here, and I’m real, I’m clear
