Monster?

Lyrics

All my life
Dressed in skin of someone else
From you, I could not hide
My corpse beneath this hollow shell

Who was he?
Who are you and what am I?
I've spent too many years choosing to be blind.

Father? It can’t be.
Promise me you weren’t the dark beneath my bed,
The evil in my head?
Father? Is it true?
How could I have once dreamed to be just like you?

The bond we had?
The man you made me?
Does that just fade away?
Or am I trapped here in your shape —
A shadow I can’t break?
If you’re the lie behind my eyes,
Then what am I tonight?
I’m just like you…
God, tell me it’s not true.

I wore your anger like a crown,
Your lessons buried in my bones.
You taught me how to stand my ground,
But you left me standing all alone.
Your voice still echoes through my chest,
Your love — a wound I can’t confess.
Am I your son or your regret?
Is this the only me I get?

Father? It can’t be.
Promise me you weren’t the dark beneath my bed,
The evil in my head?
Father? Say it’s lies.
Tell me I don’t see your ghost behind my eyes.

The bond we had?
The man you made me?
Does that just fade away?
Or am I trapped here in your shape —
A shadow I can’t break?
If you’re the lie behind my eyes,
Then what am I tonight?
I’m just like you…
God, tell me it’s not true.

If I could tear you from my skin,
Find the boy you never let begin —
I’d set him free, I’d let him breathe,
But you’re the only voice in me.
If you’re my roots, my blood, my truth —
What’s left for me to lose?

The bond we had?
The man you made me?
Does that just fade away?
Or am I doomed to wear your shame —
Your curse inside my veins?
If you’re the lie behind my eyes,
Then what am I tonight?
I’m just like you…
God, tell me it’s not true.
I’m just like you…
God, tell me it’s not true.
