Monster

[Verse 1]

Under the knife I surrendered

The innocence yours to consume

You cut it away

And you filled me up with hate

Into the silence you sent me

Into the fire consumed

You thought I’d forget

But it’s always in my head

[Chorus]

You're the pulse in my veins

You're the war that I wage

Can you change me?

Can you change me?

You're the love that I hate

You're the drug that I take

Will you cage me?

Will you cage me?

You're the pulse in my veins

You're the war that I wage

Can you change me?

Can you change me?

From the monster you made me?

From the monster you made me?

[Verse 2]

This is the world you've created

The product of what I've become

My soul and my youth

Seems it's all for you to use

If I could take back the moment

I'll let you get under my skin

Relent or resist?

Seems the monster always wins

[Chorus]

You're the pulse in my veins

You're the war that I wage

Can you change me?

Can you change me?

You're the love that I hate

You're the drug that I take

Will you cage me?

Will you cage me?

You're the pulse in my veins

You're the war that I wage

Can you change me?

Can you change me?

From the monster you made me?

From the monster you made me?

[Bridge]

My heart's an artifice, a decoy soul

I'll lift you up and then I'll let you go

I've made an art of digging shallow holes

I drop the darkness in and watch it grow

My heart's an artifice, a decoy soul

Who knew the emptiness could be so cold?

I've lost the parts of me that make me whole

I am the darkness, I'm a monster

[Chorus]

You're the pulse in my veins

You're the war that I wage

Can you change me?

Can you change me?

You're the love that I hate

You're the drug that I take

Will you cage me?

Will you cage me?

You're the pulse in my veins

You're the war that I wage

Can you change me?

Can you change me?

From the monster you made me?

From the monster you made me?

From the monster you made me?

From the monster you made me?
