Monster Within

I have a monster within, can't you tell?
I feel this rage and my sanity fell.
How can you love me, you've seen it before?
But you always stay close, my heart it torn.

It's like I feel this blood lust urge.
All around me it begins to surge.
It takes me over, over quick.
And when I wake I feel sick.

All this red inside me becomes reallity.
As all these bodies lay around me.
I don't understand you, not at all.
I fear your blood too, will fall.

This monster within takes me over like a puppet.
It's like I'm on strings and I'm helpless to stop it.
My biggest fear happened because you wouldn't listen.
We had a big fight and my sanity went missin.

My tears mix with the blood on my face.
The blood on my lip leaves a metallic taste.
I'm sorry I failed you by committing this sin.
So I give myself up to the monster, the monster within.
