Deep in the shadows I'm fighting a battle

The creature wants me screaming, screaming

I think I'm losing, tired of choosing, I'm slipping down

I can't stop screaming, screaming

I'm living a lie, there's a creature hiding inside of me

Black as the night with a cold dead heart and a lust for sin

So I shut it out, I bottle up, I hide it from the world

If I let it out I don't know what I'll do

There's a creature inside of you too

I can't just turn to the menace I've clung to

The creature wants me screaming, screaming

I can't determine, I'm sure that it's hell bent on breaking out and

Hearing you screaming, screaming

I'm living a lie, there's a creature hiding inside of me

Black as the night with a cold dead heart and a lust for sin

So I shut it out, I bottle up, I hide it from the world

If I let it out I don't know what I'll do

There's a creature inside of you too

I can't hold back

I'm living a lie, there's a creature hiding inside of me

Black as the night with a cold dead heart and a lust for sin

So I shut it out, I bottle up, I hide it from the world

If I let it out I don't know what I'll do

There's a creature inside of you too
