The Monster Inside


You try to escape, try to run, It doesn’t matter, try to hide, You can’t get away, try to scream, From the monster inside How did it find you, try to run, You locked it away, try to hide, But you can never leave, try to scream, The monster you made They caused you to make it, try to run, You had no choice, try to hide, Now it’s back, try to scream, Try to escape, from the monster inside
