I choke, and a sour taste escapes my mouth I freeze when slowly all the lights fade out I cry for help but words don't seem to carry through the gloom I crawl into the corner of my mattressed room I lose control Something takes hold of me (And I) fight (to break) free (From the) grip (tightening) a(round) my soul If I had known there was a monster deep inside of me I would have known that I belong in isolation cells I wouldn't hesitate to end it all and set me free A simple accident will mark the end of my distress And all I hear are funeral bells as I am laid to rest I hide from something lurking just outside my view I try to block the visions out but they keep breaking through I scream as shady figures slither down the matressed walls I crouch and watch it all break as the monster calls I close my eyes Wait (to be) anesthetized (Or) soon I will fall (and the) Monster will rise If I had known there was a monster deep inside of me I would have known that I belong in isolation cells I wouldn't hesitate to end it all and set me free A simple accident will mark the end of my distress And all I hear are funeral bells as I am laid to rest I lose control it's taking hold of me If I had known there was a monster deep inside of me I would have known that I belong in isolation cells I wouldn't hesitate to end it all and set me free A simple accident will mark the end of my distress And all I hear are funeral bells as I am laid to rest
