The Eyes of a Monster

Blank skies Midnight cries Destruction and pain My favorite games. Misunderstood. See what the birds see As they weep from the skies above. I’m like a wolf in sheep’s clothing Can’t look you in the eye For I am terrified That you’ll see right through my disguise. At night I hide Inside my cocoon Waiting for transformation Can’t explain Why a monster I remain. Dastardly. Cruel am I Yet I run and hide But I can’t escape what I’m running from For I’m afraid of the monster I’ve become. With anger and spite I destroy everything in sight Later I regret Knowing I’ll never forget Faces strewn in fear My dear, you must beware. In this state of anger and disarray My darling, please run away I’m human enough still To know you’ll get killed If you stick around to long I’m much too strong for comfort. This love is forbidden So I’ll keep it hidden Can’t look you in the eyes Don’t want you to realize This ugly truth. I must let you go Retreat while you can I can't let you get hurt My love, please understand. For the first time I look in your eyes A self promise that I betray Though I am strong I don’t have the strength to look away. Why you don’t run I cannot construe But you do not fear me For you’re a monster too.
