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
