Darkness take away my light Burn out the candle I wont put up a fight Rip away my flesh And reveal to me my true form The monster inside me grows too warm Darkness inside me Take away my breath Make me choke on the words I haven't said As I cut away on paper skin Write my life story with pretty ink Darkness that consumes me Protect me from the light It burns my skin and colors me bright But all is fine when it goes away And I begin to remember the light never stays

Monster within
Darkness take away my light Burn out the candle I wont put up a fight Rip away my flesh And reveal to me my true form The monster inside me grows too warm Darkness inside me Take away my breath Make me choke on the words I haven't said As I cut away on paper skin Write my life story with pretty ink Darkness that consumes me Protect me from the light It burns my skin and colors me bright But all is fine when it goes away And I begin to remember the light never stays
