MONSTER

don’t talk to me not right now Everything tastes dull now Every color’s turning gray I can’t even fake a reaction To the things I used to crave I sleep and still wake tired Like I never closed my eyes Every little sound around me Feels like pressure in disguise I can feel it underneath Like a sickness in my blood Everybody gets too close Everybody talks too much Monster That’s what I become When the noise won’t stop And the light cuts through my skull Monster Feel it crawling out Every word, every touch Makes me want to tare it down Nothing lands the way it should Every feeling comes back flat Just another hollow impulse Another failed attempt to feel Mirror says enough already Eyes sunk deeper every week There’s a person underneath me But he’s getting hard to reach I don’t want to hear your voice I don’t want to leave this room Every second that I’m awake Feels impossible to move through Monster That’s what I become When I’m worn this thin And everything keeps pushing in Monster Something’s coming loose Every nerve, every breath Feels like something lit a fuse I’m angry all the time now Even when I don’t show it Like my teeth are always clenched Like my body forgot how to stop I don’t want to hurt anybody I just don’t want anything near me stay back stay back stay… Monster Watch it take control Every little thing Makes another part corrode Monster I can feel it move Underneath my skin Like there’s nothing left to lose Monster Monster don’t touch me… don’t…
