"Monster" lyrics

Monster (monster, monster)
Monster (monster, monster)

So close to home now
I see the end
It's been a long road here, but I'm not broken yet
I've felt the ugly
And I've tasted hope
I've got a few steps left, but still so far to go

I've always thought the only thing between me and the world I've wanted
Is you and all the demons that I've always tried to push away
And bad is I just wanna cut the corner, I know I'd regret it
You're the ending
I gotta face

You were the reason
I can't sleep at night
You took my shadow
And swallowed the light
You were the monster
Pulling me deep
But now we're down here eye to eye, I can finally see
The monster is me

The monster is me

Trust me, I've been waiting
Waiting in the dark
Waiting for the parts when you would come down here and see what we've become
You say that I'm a nightmare
The ghost that's always right there
Of course I'm always right there
Because you can't get far if it's you you're running from

You always thought the only thing between you and the world you wanted
Is me and all the problems that you've always tried to push away
I know you don't believe me but it's honestly so nice to meet you
I'm the real you
You've gotta face

I was the reason
You can't sleep at night
I took your shadow
And swallowed the light
I was the monster
Pulling you deep
But now we're down here eye to eye, I can finally see
The monster is me

The monster is me (me)
The monster is me
The monster is me
The monster is me
