I look into the mirror and

Who is this I see?

A girl I almost recognize

She looks a lot like me



But she’s not me, not even close

That girl inside has died

And in her place a thing has grown

A monster lives inside



You should be blamed, I thought at first

‘Twas you who let me fall

Not knowing that you were the one

Who helped me walk from crawl



You’ve left me here so far behind

I cannot stay the same

And that is why when I can’t sleep

It’s you who takes the blame



My monster lives within me

She thirsts within my rage

I can hardly stand the calmness

A war begins to wage



She's completely taking over

She brings me so much pain

I'm drowning in this darkness

My life becomes a strain



I'm going crazy over this

I'm psycho deep inside

And though I try to hold it back

There's no place left to hide



I'm shaking deep inside my skin

This disease is bound to spread

And if I don't control it

I fear I'll soon be dead



I can't contain this monster

She'll never let me free

Soon enough before I know

We'll be one and she'll kill me
