I'm friends with the monster

...better off dead...

I'm dancing with the ghosts in my head.

There's nothing but terror

a fragmented lie

the glimmer of darkness inside your eyes.

You think I'm crazy,

and think you're sane

but you're the one who's created this pain.

I'm friends with the monster

inside my head

whispering to ghosts, you're better off dead.

I'm lying in silence--

watching in vein

flashes of life, driving me insane.

Your hate this monster

animal I have become

fearful of the beast

nowhere to run.

I'm friends with this monster

lingering inside

no shadows to protect you

no place to hide.

There is this monster who bares my name

he makes you promises

drives you insane.

There are these ghosts

lingering inside my soul

taking my heart,

taking my soul.

I'm friends with this monster

he's broken me down

stolen my throne

stolen the crown.

This is the beast

inside my brain

this is the nightmare

driving me insane.
