I can't help myself
This power I get from your tears
Knowing I am stronger then you
Better then you
Colder then you
I can't stop myself
I hurt when you say you're afraid of me
I love you
I love this feeling
The control I have over you
Is addicting
I fall asleep
Full of self hatred
Slash my wrists with a broken blade
Promise myself I'll do better
I'll be better
Please don't leave me
Leave me
I'll change I will I'm sorry
Hollow phrases and tenderness
Pulling you back to my side
Then anger rises inside me
We fight
You fall
Triumph fills my soul
And I smile
And you cry
And I break inside
I break you down to build myself up
Warring with myself
I must never lose
Never
Not even to you
Not even when it hurts you
I
Can't
Lose
I break you down to build myself up
I break you down to build myself
I break you down to build
I break you down to
I break you down
I break you
I break
I

I'm a monster
