You said you'd help me When I feel weak When life turns sour And I can't sleep You said you'd destroy My enemies Well, now I need you To wipe, to wipe, to wipe my bloody tears All I do is to try and hide you But there is no way First I want you to disappear Then, then I beg you to stay I want you to stay It's burning, I couldn't see what's rising up before me When it's all over, the memory's still burning Nothing left but darkness in my eyes, on my mind Awaking the monster in me tonight You want to help me Well, now I'm weak You're an illusion I'm just a freak You said you loved me Like no one would But I'm the one who's Misunderstood I remember the first time I felt You pulling the strings You're up there like a puppet master Who's maneuvering me But I could not see It's burning, I couldn't see what's rising up before me When it's all over, the memory's still burning Nothing left but darkness in my eyes, on my mind Awaking the monster in me tonight Nothing left but darkness in my eyes Nothing left but darkness and the monster Awake the monster Monster Awaking the monster inside It's burning, I couldn't see what's rising up before me When it's all over, the memory's still burning Nothing left but darkness in my eyes, on my mind Awaking the monster in me tonight
