"My Own Monster" lyrics

"My Own Monster"

Something dangerous is waking up inside of me
It's been creeping it's way into my psychology
Keeping me up all night, this voice inside it tortures me
But it's slowly starting to peak my curiosity

'Cause this world can be so cold
Gimme shelter from the storm
And it's keeping me warm, keeping me warm

Think I created a monster
And now I'll never be alone again
I think I made myself a new best friend
Yeah, it's making me stronger
I created a monster
And now I'll never be the same again
And no, I'll never feel pain again
And I'll do what, I'll do what I wanna

I've been so deep inside this hell so long, I like it here
I walk these city streets alone so I can disappear
And lately, I find when I look into the mirror
There's a stranger staring back and smiling ear-to-ear

Yeah, this world can be so cold
Gimme shelter from the storm
And it's keeping me warm, keeping me warm

Think I created a monster
And now I'll never be alone again
I think I made myself a new best friend
Yeah, it's making me stronger
I created a monster
And now I'll never be the same again
And no, I'll never feel pain again
And I'll do what, I'll do what I wanna

So, I created a monster
(I think, I think, I think) I think I made myself a new best friend
I think I created a monster

Yeah, this world can be so cold
I need shelter from the storm
And it's keeping me warm, keeping me warm

Think I created a monster
And now I'll never be alone again
I think I made myself a new best friend
Yeah, it's making me stronger
I created a monster
And now I'll never be the same again
And no, I'll never feel pain again
And I'll do what, I'll do what I wanna

So, I created a monster
(Think I made myself a new best friend)
