Monster in You

You wake up fighting something I can't touch

Swallow the pain and pretend it's enough

Plans fall through like ash in the rain

And I can't fix a goddamn thing

You're so good at hiding it all

But I still see you when you fall

You're burning up from the inside out

Still holding on while your body shuts down

And I'd bleed just to take it away

But this monster in you's here to stay

So I just stay

And break in silence every day

You laugh like it doesn't hurt this time

But I see the truth behind your eyes

You say I'm fine like it's a prayer

While I'm screaming at the sky this isn't fair

You're so good at faking control

But I still feel the weight you hold

You're burning up from the inside out

Still holding on while your body shuts down

And I'd bleed just to take it away

But this monster in you's here to stay

So I just stay

And break in silence every day

If love could heal you'd be whole by now

But I'm useless when it matters most

Just a witness to the war you never chose

You're burning up from the inside out

Still holding on while your body shuts down

And I trade every breath I've got

Just to see the pain stop

But it won't

So I stay

And break in silence every day
