Stemm – Monster lyrics

Just make this go away.
There's nothing left inside for you to take.

I can't believe I'm all by myself
Ripping away all that remains,
Pieces of me, they just fall away.

As I fall, further away from myself
I seek the days that escape me.
I choke on the ones I'm left with
The monster's building inside me.

And I hate the way I feel.
I pray the wounds will heal.
Before the darkness,
How long will this last?

I try - with every waking moment of my life
As I waste away
To hide - the monster that is building up inside
The scars in me
So blind - pins and needles buried in my eyes
What's left of me
Goodbye - to everything that's chasing me

Look into my eyes, do you see yourself?
The reflection I see everyday.
I'd bury my hate, but the pain is killing me.

As I look in the mirror to see my face clearer,
Reflections of shame staring back at me.
I choke on my wretchedness,
The monster builds up inside me.

And I hate the way I feel.
I pray the wounds will heal.
Before the darkness,
How long will this last?

I try - with every waking moment of my life
As I waste away
To hide - the monster that is building up inside
The scars in me
So blind - pins and needles buried in my eyes
What's left of me
Goodbye - to everything that's chasing me

So blind - now I know how you make me feel.
So tired - everything I know is crushing me,
And I know that you can not trust in me.
Now I know how you make me feel.
