if the world does not get to you......
(verse 1)
in the dark corner in a locked up room screaming out don't trust yourself. i live behind these eyes, these thoughts are no longer mine. nor do i try to keep one for myself.
(pre chorse)
i rattle the cage and my monster comes out to play
(chorse)
i'd hide, but i try to fight, turning into these lies consuming the life i wanted. save me from my monster
(verse 2)
truths and questions lye behind these protective walls. protecting me from my life i ounce held so dearly.
who am i to speak my mind so boldly stepping out of line.
(pre chorse)
i rattle the cage and my monster comes out to play.
(chorse)
i'd hide, but i try to fight turning into these lies consuming the life i wanted. save me from my monster
(verse 3)
ive fallen to my knees and talked to God. pray these voices go away. it would be better if i were gone. if they don't silence i'll believe them.....
(pre chorse)
i rattle the cage and my monster comes out to play
save me from my monster....
