Monster

Tell me, please
What's the point of this reality?
Seems like I'm only here to please
Everyone else

If I lie
Will they think that I am really trying?
Seems like we're only here to die
So what's the point?

Happy?
Could I be happy?
Feels like a dream that
Just won't come true!

Tell me, please
That you've finally gotten sick of me
I really never try to be
So insecure

This self-hate
Lurks beneath this stupid game I play
Feels like I rarely get to say
What's on my mind

Happy?
Hey, are you happy?
Well, can you teach me
To be like you?

My heart
Has been torn apart
This world is so dark
I just feel lost

I never wanted to be this way, I swear, oh, God, I promise
I really do try to fight it or to hide it, but inside, it
It just burns its way through happiness, feels like torture, I never asked for this
The monster trapped deep inside of me
Feeding off my love and sanity

No matter how I try to block out the voice that tells me I'm worthless
I can't seem to conquer the beast, I'm always defeated, left here in pieces
And there's no one who understands, they can't stitch me up, though, it's nice that they're still here
I am the only one
Who can slay this monster

Happy? (I never wanted to be this way, I swear, oh, God, I promise)
No, I'm not happy (I really do try to fight it or to hide it, but inside, it)
Though I desperately (it just burns its way through happiness, feels like torture, I never asked for this)
Wish I could be! (The monster trapped deep inside of me, feeding off my love and sanity!)

I just (no matter how I try to block out the voice that tells me I'm worthless)
Want to be free, why (I can't seem to conquer the beast, I'm always defeated, left here in pieces)
Should I have to die (and there's no one who understands, they can't stitch me up, though, it's nice that they're still here)
To slay the beast? (I am the only one)
(Who can slay this monster)

If I lie
Will the monster keep itself inside?
Seems like we only live to die
So what's the point?
