[Verse 1]
Teeth marks
On the inside of my brain
Woke up
With my shadow sayin’ my name
Jaw tight
Chewin’ on a yesternight shame
Cold sweat
Heart runnin’ like a freight train
Every door locked
Still I hear that crawl
Little black thoughts
Scratchin’ down my wall
I been lookin’ in the mirror like
“Who you gonna call
When the thing you scared of
Is you, that’s all?”
[Chorus]
Monsters in my rearview
Get closer when I run
Every time I fear you
You feed off what I’ve done
I been dancin’ with the dark
’Til I’m breathin’ like a gun
Monsters in my rearview
I’ma turn around
(And face every one)
[Verse 2]
Laugh track
Playin’ while I self-destruct
Fake smile
Dyin’ in a coffee cup
Talk loud
So they never see me cut
Deep down
I’m a bomb in a pick-up truck
I ain’t here for the halo talk
I got halos made of caution chalk
I got angels that forgot to call
Demons sittin’ in the foyer, feet on the wall
If I fall, then I fall full-speed
Brick to the teeth, that’s the creed I bleed
Every scar that I hide in a long sleeve
Just a barcode printed on a lost dream
[Chorus]
Monsters in my rearview
Get closer when I run
Every time I fear you
You feed off what I’ve done
I been dancin’ with the dark
’Til I’m breathin’ like a gun
Monsters in my rearview
I’ma turn around
(And face every one)
[Bridge]
You want raw?
Here’s the rot under tongue
Here’s the ache in my jaw
From the words left unsung
Here’s the bruise in my chest
Where the “almosts” weigh a ton
Here’s the kid in the back of the class
Still scared of what he’s become
[Chorus]
Monsters in my rearview
Get closer when I run
Every time I fear you
You feed off what I’ve done
I been dancin’ with the dark
’Til I’m breathin’ like a gun
Monsters in my rearview
I’ma turn around
I’ma turn around
(And face every one)
