lyrics

Monster, monster, what have we here
A deadly aspirant that begs you to hear
The violent cadence of foolish thoughts
You've been locked up here for far too long
Monster, monster, what do you see
A frivolous soul waiting patiently
For blood red teeth and fatal claws
To creep through the silence
Devour their flaws

But you're trapped inside
And the door's held shut
I won't step aside
But I'm close enough

Let yourself out
Break my bones and cut me down
Oh, grind me into pieces
Only then I'll see
A monster's revelation
Will define my need, oh
Let yourself out
Break my soul and drag me down
Oh, show me all the weakness that I couldn't see
Cuz' I can only wake up when a monster's after me

Monster, monster, grant me your fear
My virtue is tainted, my body reveres
The sheltering sanction of vacant thoughts
My purpose is empty, my conscience is lost
Monster, monster, find your release
A settling soul is the rival of peace
So come now, I'm slipping, my mind is naught
Your moment has surfaced, the noose is taut

It's all trapped inside
And it won't let up
I've grown petrified
But I've had enough

Let yourself out
Break my bones and cut me down
Oh, grind me into pieces
Only then I'll see
A monster's revelation
Will define my need, oh
Let yourself out
Break my soul and drag me down
Oh, show me all the weakness that I couldn't see
Cuz' I can only wake up when a monster's after me

Creeping, haunting, singing softly
Ever-waiting, time's escaping
Creeping, haunting, singing softly
Ever-waiting, time's escaping

Let yourself out
Break my bones and cut me down
Oh, grind me into pieces
Only then I'll see
A monster's revelation
Will define my need, oh
Let yourself out
Break my soul and drag me down
Oh, show me all the weakness that I couldn't see
Cuz' I can only wake up when a monster's after me
