Me and My Monster

I have a monster
Living inside my head
He's just like your monster
The one who would see you dead
His the face of disenchantment
His the face of honesty
Throw him all my darkest fears
He brings them back to haunt me

Me and my monster
Me and my monster
Me and my monster
Me and my monster

I have a monster
He likes to play with me
He's my caged animal
And I seek the strength to set him free
Mine the eyes of discontentment
Mine the heart of jealousy
He well he has many names
But he answers most to lonely

He's my ever faithful servant
Who torments me endlessly
If I feel the need
He understands my tears
But he doesn't like the way I plead
Spare me

You my one constant companion
In this dank and dark romance
Fold me in your arms again
 As we dance the dance
