I am Your Monster

Verse 1
There's something inside me... or someone beneath my skin,
Within every thought, within every fever dream.
It keeps showing its teeth when the daylight dies
But it softens when it sees your eyes.

Everybody screams in fear and runs away,
They're scared of what I couldn't hide.
But you never betrayed me or walked away.
You always stay right by my side.

Pre-Chorus
They call it darkness,
You call it light.

Chorus
This monster inside me was never for them.
They're only hiding and cursing my name.
But it learned how to love when you looked in my eyes,
It learned to believe in what they call lies.

You touched every scar, every wound I conceal.
You looked at my monster and taught it to feel.

Verse 2
You've seen the sadness that hides behind my smile,
The fragments of dreams that have been dead for a while.
The storms that nobody could possibly tame.
Into my ear you whispered my name.

Some hearts love only the light,
They disappear when shadows grow deep.
But you embraced the parts of my mind
And showed me a love that I could always keep

Bridge
Heaven closes its gates tonight,
But I'd still find peace within your eyes.
Because the place I feared the most
Became the place I'd fight for at any cost.

Final Chorus
This monster inside me was never for them.
They're only hiding and cursing my name.
But it learned how to love when you looked in my eyes,
It learned to believe in what they call lies.

Take all my darkness, let them run, let them hide.
Some people love perfection, you love what lives inside.

Outro
I am a monster...
I am a monster...
I am your monster...

Yours never bites.
