Lyrics Dead Eyes - Monster

This frail skin and the trembling underneath it
Floorboards crack and bend no longer holding up with each step
So many skeletons hidden under my bed
So many secrets I can’t remember where the truth begins

This suffocating air
I remain in constant disrepair
Heavy are the chains but so impossible to see

Every time the lights go out
Every time I turn around
You push me to the edge
I’m the monster
Gotta get away from you
Maybe then I’ll see the truth
Should have seen it from the start
You’re the monster

I couldn’t believe you’d keep testing me over and over
You’re wearing me thin, I’m holding in; till it takes over
You watch my every move, you know what I’m gonna do
Why can I only dream of times I was free?
It lives inside of me; honestly it is smothering
So I let the darkness in (I let the darkness in)

Every time the lights go out
Every time I turn around
You push me to the edge
I’m the monster
Gotta get away from you
Maybe then I’ll see the truth
Should have seen it from the start
You’re the monster

Now you know my secret
I hope that you can keep it
Infractions now habitual
Vices become ritual
I need you gone
What have I become

(Beckoning my soul)
You destroyed everything
(Beckoning my soul)
Transforming man to beast

Every time the lights go out
Every time I turn around
You push me to the edge
I’m the monster
Gotta get away from you
Maybe then I’ll see the truth
Should have seen it from the start
You’re the monster
