You're going to have to sacrifice one way or the other
It's going to be a sacrifice
The lights have dimmed they say
Lights camera action please
I'm just an actor in this script
And I hate the roll I play
They scream and give applause
My mental state will fall
I prayed to God but got
More questions than answers
I feel like I'm drowning forever
These drugs will pick me up
Until I fall back down again
I'll get more than I asked for
So you can fill me up
The thing I love will be my own demise
I'm still searching for answers
The cure to all of my disease
Will sleep 6 feet with me
This is a state of emergency
Look down at all the lonely people that hurt like me and give me
A show of hands if you don't feel right
A show of hands if you're not alright
I hate to admit that it's true
The monster inside me is you
A show of hands if you don't feel right
A show of hands if you're not alright
I hate to admit that it's true
The monster inside me is you
These drugs just dull the pain
Drowned in anxietys waves
Sorrow pulled me up to shore
She said I'm sorry we can't be friends no more
Serotonin died that day
Down below I'm here to stay
This is the price I pay to chase the american dream
The lights have dimmed they say
Lights camera action please
I'm just an actor in this script
They'll scream and give applause
My mental state will fall
I pray to God but got
More questions than answers
Cause I'm still searching for answers
The cure to all of my disease will sleep six feet with me
This is a state of emergency
Look down at all the lonely people that hurt like me and give me
A show of hands if you don't feel right
A show of hands if you're not alright
I hate to admit that it's true
The monster inside me is you
A show of hands if you don't feel right
A show of hands if you're not alright
I hate to admit that it's true
The monster inside me is you
I know you think that you can't pull through
You learned to hate man I feel that too
I know one day we'll make it through
The monster me is you
