You are The Monster

You are the monster

The monster inside

Though you tell yourself

You have nothing to hide

It's that slimy feeling

When you're sitting alone

It's that fear of falling

When you're asleep in your home

It's that ravenous reeling

When you see something delish

It's that strange feel of stalling

When your feeling superstish

It's that memory from the night before

It's the horrific feeling there's something you've ignored

When you awake deep from the dream

Not all is what it seems

Your strangely exhausted

And can feel something outside starting to scream

You are the monster

The monster inside

Though you tell yourself

You have nothing to hide

You are the monster

The monster inside

Though you lie to yourself

That you're just a guy

You are the monster

The monster inside

Though you smile with your fangs

As if you are barely alive

You are the monster

The monster inside

There's a passing

Of a play moved too fast

Everlasting,

With an ever growing cast

You try to act,

Mostly like yourself

But its been hollowed out

By something else

It's the laughter you hear

At a joke that does fail

The actor beside you

His face going pale

Now you can feel it coming,

It runs full across the brush

And you can feel it thrumming

Like your soul mixed with dust

And although its eyes are empty

And cannot be seen too

It still inside you waiting

To try something new

You are the monster

The monster inside

Though you tell yourself

You have nothing to hide

You are the monster
