The Monster

 

 

Always I've been hard to reach, I've been too long on my own

Everybody has a private world where they can be alone

Are you calling me? Are you trying to get through?

Are you reaching out for me, like I'm reaching out for you

 

I'm just so Freaking depressed, I just can't seem to get out this slump

If I could just get over this hump

But I need something to pull me out this world,

I took my battles, took my lumps

Fell down and I got right back up

But I need that spark to get psyched back up

In order for me to pick myself back up

I don't know how or why or when I ended up in this position I'm in

I'm starting to feel distant again

So I decided just to pick this head

Up and try to make an attempt to vent

But I just can't admit

Or come to grips with the fact that I may be done with life

I need a new outlet, and I know some stuffs so hard to swallow

But I just can't sit back and wallow

In my own sorrow

But I know one fact I'll be one tough beast to follow

One tough beast to follow

I'll be one tough beast to follow

Here today, gone tomorrow

But you'd have to hear a thousand stories

 

In my eyes, just to see

What it's like, to be me

I'll be you, let's trade eyes

Just to see what it'd be like to

Feel your pain, you feel mine

Go inside each other's minds

Just to see what we find

Look at life through each other's eyes

But don't let 'em say you ain't beautiful, oh

They can all get lost

Just stay true to you

 

So why don't you all sit down?

Listen to the tale I'm about to tell

Hell, we don't gotta trade our eyes

And you ain't gotta hear no thousand stories

But I already told you my whole life story

Not just based on my description

'cause where you see it from where you're sitting

It's probably 110% different

I guess we would have to hear a story

In each other's eyes, at least

I was never the type of beast

To wait by the cave and pack his hopes

Who sat on the cave and hoped and prayed

For a dad to show up who never did

I just wanted to fit in

In every single world

Every place I went

I dreamed of being that cool thing

Even if it meant acting normal

Even if it meant acting normal

Even if it meant not being me

Even if it meant not being me

Even if it meant acting normal

 

In my eyes, just to see

What it's like, to be me

I'll be you, let's trade eyes

Just to see what it'd be like to

Feel your pain, you feel mine

Go inside each other's minds

Just to see what we find

Look at life through each other's eyes

But don't let 'em say you ain't beautiful, oh

They can all get lost

Just stay true to you
