The Monster in me

Lyrics

[INTRO] Mirror's glare, a ghost in the glass Faces flicker, the shadows pass [VERSE 1] When I look in the mirror and I think of things I’ve done I ask where did this come from, how deep inside is it? This animal, this monster, how I wish it would go away When I think it’s gone, hello the monsters back again [CHORUS] No control, any time it can arise A darkness in me that scares me A control‑less monster that won’t go away I’m trapped inside a cage of my own making [VERSE 2] The weight of guilt, it drags the soul in chains A whisper in the night, calling out my name I try to silence it, but the voice seems to grow The beast inside me, it never lets me go [CHORUS] No control, any time it can arise A darkness in me that scares me A control‑less monster that won’t go away I’m fighting every breath, the night’s still playing [BRIDGE] I’ve tried to run, I’ve tried to hide The reflection’s grin, it’s always by my side weighs a ton If I could break the glass, could I see the truth? Or will the beast just claim the next of my line ,my son [CHORUS] No control, any time it can arise A darkness in me that scares me A control‑less monster that won’t go away I keep screaming, but it’s just the echo’s play [HOOK] Inside, inside, the shadow’s dancing Outside, outside, it’s never changing In the mirror, mirror, what will you be? A broken soul or something free? [OUTRO] The memory fades, the darkness lingers near The beast will stay, for now I fear But I’ll keep fighting, till the end And hope the monster moves on when right
