There are monsters within me
And I would never tell
But they have been sent here
from the depths of hell
We have them inside
Though we won't admit it
We each keep it as
A personal secret
We hide them deep down
We won't let them show
But they rage and run lose
Once we let them go

Slowly I've done it
I've let down my guard
Now they're out to get me
And to me cause harm
They taunt and they torment
In every which way
They laugh at the things
That I do and I say

They tell me to hate
And I want to agree
Even though it is love
That comes easily for me
I think about blood
Others or mine
Darkness and anger
Are what fill my mind

They lurk in the shadows
I can't get away
Not even in
The brightness of day
I fear for myself
And what I become
I wont like myself
When all this is done
I cry out each night
Feeling alone
Wishing that all of this pain
Could be done
But you see me happy
I seem normal to you
Cuz it's the smile on my face
That disguises the truth

They say that monsters
Hide in your closet
But the scariest ones
Are the ones found inside us
