Monster

Father God, please forgive us of our sins
 Living my life in a fucked up haze
 I know I should pray
 Repent every day, and God is the way
 But I feel as if there is too much to say
 I made friends with the dragon that sits at my window
 What I'm sipping is different, and you probably could tell that by the tempo
 Living it fast as the days go by
 I see the fire that glows in the sky
 I seen it all, and I swear I won't lie
 The lions and tigers and bears, oh, my
 Feel the vibration from knocks on the door
 Pull out my heart and let it drop on the floor
 Drifted away and it washed to the shore
 Then I demanded to talk to the Lord
 There's a monster inside of me
 And there's a monster inside of me
 There's a monster inside of me
 And there's a monster inside of me
 I'm not afraid of the boogeyman (there's a monster)
 And I'm not afraid of the boogeyman
 'Cause there's a monster inside of me
 I told my daughters not to fear the monsters
 Daddy is the boogeyman
 It was written, no truth hidden
 Real deal, whole again
 Not sure if me and my reflection never be cool again
 'Cause the man in the mirror now fears a foolish sin
 On the swings at Satan's playground, I'd try to touch the sky
 Humbled by the fall and the fact I'd never die
 Staring in the eyes of defeat, cry me a river
 Had a dream with the devil, he offered to buy me dinner
 Circle getting thinner, graveyard thicken
 See them crews, used to eat now they fighting for slim pickings
 Greed is a sickness, loyalty is rare
 When you're aware of your own enemies, the playing field is fair
 I stare dead across that line if what I want on the other side
 Others hide from the truth while I run to it blind
 Two guns blazing out the days and I ain't going back
 My spirit and my soul is at war, under attack
 There's a monster inside of me
 And there's a monster inside of me
 There's a monster inside of me
 And there's a monster inside of me
 I'm not afraid of the boogeyman (there's a monster)
 And I'm not afraid of the boogeyman
 'Cause there's a monster inside of me
 I'm staring at the glare, the monster in the mirror
 Having turned off all the lights for this picture to get clearer
 Heard a scream coming from the other room
 She's on her knees, Lord, why is my son a goon?
 A coldness rise from his eyes, will it be summer soon?
 The last warmth that I remember was in my mother's womb
 So now I fumble through a cluttered tomb where my heart used to be
 I'm used to who I used to be
 This new me is so new to me
 Can I prove to be, will I die in this stereotype
 Moving to imperial light, prevail the spiritual fight
 I'll be buried alive, covered by the leaves of fall
 Mirror, mirror, on the wall, who's the most savage of them all?
 And there's a monster inside of me
 And there's a monster inside of me
 And there's a monster inside of me
 And there's a monster inside of me
 I'm not afraid of the boogeyman (there's a monster)
 And I'm not afraid of the boogeyman
 'Cause there's a monster inside of me
