Monsters
Capture me in your wake
Promising my heart won’t break
Lead me out of this destructive path
Save me from the fall of the aftermath
I see it all clear
I lost all I once held dear
Taken away by a moment of selfishness
I’m lying alone in my own emptiness
Goodbye monsters
Don’t even bother
Pulling me down
Not this time around
No matter what I’m holding on
Daring you to bring it on
I’m breaking free out of this
Don’t want to live like this
I’m getting swallowed by the walls of passivity
Break me free of this captivity
It’s time to tell the monsters to move on
Time to let the chains go and carry on
Make no mistake there’s a fighter in me
These monsters won’t get the best of me
Goodbye monsters
Don’t even bother
Pulling me down
Not this time around
No matter what I’m holding on
Daring you to bring it on
Mistakes build up in a sea of regrets
Reminding me the guilt I want to forget
And my enemies mock me as I walk by
Spreading their sickness, telling me lies
Everyone’s pretending to be okay
Truth is we’re all falling away
This charade never helped me anyway
Now I want to do more than just get by
Goodbye monsters
Don’t even bother
Pulling me down
Not this time around
No matter what I’m holding on
Daring you to bring it on
