"Me And My Monster" lyrics
Inpatient (Ren & Chris Webby) Lyrics
I don't know just why I'm like this
I've heard people 'round me say
Something's off, I'm not okay (I'm not okay)
'Cause that darkness I keep bottled up has seeped into my veins
Let the monster out the cage
Something's in the water, at least that's what I blame
I can feel a monster that wants to escape
Scratching at my insides
No peace, I'm a freak of nature (Freak of nature)
'Cause recently my thoughts are driving me insane
Pulling me apart by the seams in my brain
Crawling up my windpipe
Wake the beast, time to meet your maker (Meet your maker)
So, let me get the first thing first
I was cursed since birth
I was born with Nostradamus like prophecies, worse
A fate pain shaped, and the pain makes me not think straight
Brain, checkmate
Need restraints and some steel chains and a whole cage
To contain the pace of my train of thought
'Cause it's awful morbid
More highly strung in a soul that's tortured
More highly strung from a noose supported
And the more I run, more I feel awkward
Like I'm caught in a storm and I'm launched to orbit
And from dusk 'til dawn there's a force that forces
Itself to the surface, it's coming, it hurts
It's murderous, merciless, monster that's lurking, uh
I don't know just why I'm like this
I've heard people 'round me say
Something's off, I'm not okay (I'm not okay)
'Cause that darkness I keep bottled up has seeped into my veins
Let the monster out the cage
Feel it in my bloodstream
Rushin' through my veins
Feel him as he creeps through the halls in my brain
And he's always hungry, gotta keep him fed
After years spent tryna expel him from in my head
He started under the bed 'til he made himself a home
In the furthest depths of my psyche, to the marrow in my bones
He's that shadow that I cast, that reflection in the glass
He's that static in the silence tellin' me I'm not alone
In my DNA, in that double helix
He lead the way and I fuckin' feel it's
Too late to make him vacate
He's chained to my fate
And maybe I'm crazy or that my fuckin' spirit
Is just plain weak for lettin' him win
Or it may be destiny that we spend
The rest of our natural lives together
Why fight each other? 'Cause in the end I've
Felt an emptiness that's followin' me
Since a kid, but he was there to claim the occupancy
A lifetime later, right back where I started you see
'Til the credits roll, still it's just my monster and me, yeah
I don't know just why I'm like this
I've heard people 'round me say
Something's off, I'm not okay
'Cause that darkness I keep bottled up has seeped into my veins
Let the monster out the cage
I've heard people 'round me say
Something's off, I'm not okay (I'm not okay)
'Cause that darkness I keep bottled up has seeped into my veins
Let the monster out the cage
Something's in the water, at least that's what I blame
I can feel a monster that wants to escape
Scratching at my insides
No peace, I'm a freak of nature (Freak of nature)
'Cause recently my thoughts are driving me insane
Pulling me apart by the seams in my brain
Crawling up my windpipe
Wake the beast, time to meet your maker (Meet your maker)
So, let me get the first thing first
I was cursed since birth
I was born with Nostradamus like prophecies, worse
A fate pain shaped, and the pain makes me not think straight
