Monster, monster under my bed
Come out and play ’cause I need a friend

’ve got my scars to bear
Stitches just can’t repair, woah

Bailing my share of faults, woah
This blood on my hands is a blessing
In a lifetime, twisted by design…
They say believing is the hardest part
But I say with every beat of my heart
I alone will find my way
And get right back to the start
They say the fire in your heart is gone
Well, I say it’s really only just begun
All along you know that I’m
I’m twisted by design

Things that I won’t change
Bid farewell, reluctance, entrusting all these dreams
I can’t turn back on my own
You’re out there remaining all aloneThis world being a place for burying my heart
Flying away today with me hiding my tears
Lying on the ground wearing a mask
Losing my wings and feathers -

I can never leave the past behind
I can see no way, I can see no way
I’m always dragging that horse around
All of his questions, such a mournful sound

‘Cause I like to keep my issues drawn
But it’s always darkest before the dawn -
