Nightmares and white lies 
Shadows behind my eyes 
The beast within leaves me terrified 
I've tried to let it fade 
The monster I've made 
But it's creeping in from all sides 

I'm still looking for the [bad word] 
Still hoping to find you 
Somehow I've got to find what's right 
Scared I [bad word] away 
I'm losing hope today 
I can't tell the shadows from the light 

Secrets and darkness 
I can't escape this 
Disease eating at my mind 
The untamed side of me 
My own enemy 
I hold in a prison inside 

Watching, waiting, lights are fading 
Loving, hating, words degrading 
I can't fight the shadows within me 
Feeling hopeless, chaos rising 
Pain sets in as a part of me is dying 
My soul has grown too dark to see
