Lurking Behind the Mask
How do you slay a monster that lives within your mind?
How do you slay a monster that appears in your reflection, yet is so difficult ot find?
Can you learn to live with this monster that twists and divides?
Must you learn to live with this monster that devours from the inside?
Confusion and turmoil batter your best intentions
They are tricks of this beast, an insidious repertoire of it's best inventions
To wither and isolate is this ones plan
Feeding on regret, turning you into a husk of a man
Once again I ask, how do you live with a monster that claims your soul as it's own?
(All I want is the clarity to find my way home)
