Monster Inside (Inspired by Tokyo Ghoul)

If you were to write a story with me in the lead role
it certainly would be a tragedy

This pain, I feel it deep within my chest
Woke up this morning, my mind with no rest
I'm seeing red and all the things that I had known
Were shattered in tatters now
She took my life from me and now she hides within my mind
Took my whole world as I tried to flee, she laughed with glee
This was never my intention, this was never my hope
I just wanted to be normal and I wanted to be free
But what was inside me wouldn't let me be me

The devil once was an angel
Don't you ever forget
What's wrong with me? Nothing
Don't you see I'll always regret
These actions I've taken to survive
I'll be your monster, be the thing that you fear and thrive

Do you hear that
Do you hear that crack
Like a thunderclap
The knuckle snaps back
Don't you go insane on me
Seven by seven by seven by seven
You know in your heart before we start breaking you
Till you can't clap, I'm taking my story back
I'll take yours too
My hunger now makes its debut

This mask I wear
It keeps me together
This pain I fear
I will never weather
This patch which hides my eye
Reveals the monster inside
Reveals this monster I try to hide

The devil once was an angel
Don't you ever forget
What's wrong with me? Nothing
Don't you see I'll always regret
These actions I've taken to survive
I'll be your monster, be the thing that you fear and thrive

Why is it that the beautiful things are entwined more deeply with death than with life
We all have a mask that we can never take off
