I am the moster lurking
In the deepest shadows
Of your darkest dreams.
Watching with burning eyes
That miss nothing
Of what goes on within the without.
I am the monster that
Your parents dreamed of
When they imagined the thorny future
You would lead
Shuddering as they awoke and
Brushing away the fears.
I am the horror in my own heart
Wanting to protect you
But never leave you
With chains pulled in every direction
Until I hear the seams of my soul ripping
And fear that my blood
Will stain you when I finally break.
I am the enemy you could never predict
But in your heart
You cannot be suprised
At my translucent faith that finally crumpled.
And the way they stomped upon my hands
As I scrambled to pick up the dust.
I am the guilty victim
Ready to recieve the blame
Perpetually anticipating your next disaster
To fall through your arm and onto my shoulders
While my spine aches
With the weight of all your secrets.
In the deepest shadows
Of your darkest dreams.
Watching with burning eyes
That miss nothing
Of what goes on within the without.
I am the monster that
Your parents dreamed of
When they imagined the thorny future
You would lead
Shuddering as they awoke and
Brushing away the fears.
I am the horror in my own heart
Wanting to protect you
But never leave you
With chains pulled in every direction
Until I hear the seams of my soul ripping
And fear that my blood
Will stain you when I finally break.
I am the enemy you could never predict
But in your heart
You cannot be suprised
At my translucent faith that finally crumpled.
And the way they stomped upon my hands
As I scrambled to pick up the dust.
I am the guilty victim
Ready to recieve the blame
Perpetually anticipating your next disaster
To fall through your arm and onto my shoulders
While my spine aches
With the weight of all your secrets.
