Monster

(álbum: Waylon & Willie II - 2018)

Living my life in a fucked up haze
I know I should pray
Repent everyday, and God is the way
But I feel as if there is too much to say
I made friends with the dragon that sits at my window
What I'm sipping is different and you probably could tell that by the tempo
Living it fast as the days go by
I see the fire that glows in the sky
I seen it all and I swear I won't lie
The lions and tigers and bears, oh my
Feel the vibration from knocks on the door
Pull out my heart and let it drop on the floor
Drifted away and it washed to the shore
Then I demanded to talk to the lord

There's a monster inside of me
And there's a monster inside of me
There's a monster inside of me
And there's a monster inside of me

I'm not afraid of the boogieman (There's a monster)
And I'm not afraid of the boogieman
'Cause there's a monster inside of me

I told my daughters not to fear the monsters
Daddy is the boogieman
It was written, no truth hidden
Real deal, whole again
Not sure if me and my reflection never be cool again
'Cause the man in the mirror now fears a foolish sin
On the swings at satan's playground I'd try to touch the sky
Humbled by the fall and the fact I'd never die
Staring in the eyes of defeat, cry me a river
Had a dream with the devil, he offered to buy me dinner
Circle getting thinner, graveyard thicken
See them crews, used to eat now they fighting for slim pickings
Greed is a sickness, Loyalty is rare
When you're aware of your own enemies, the playing field is fair
I stare dead across that line if what I want on the other side
Others hide from the truth while I run to it blind
Two guns blazing out the days and I ain't going back
My spirit and my soul is at war, under attack

There's a monster inside of me
And there's a monster inside of me
There's a monster inside of me
And there's a monster inside of me

I'm not afraid of the boogieman (There's a monster)
And I'm not afraid of the boogieman
'Cause there's a monster inside of me

I'm staring at the glare, the monster in the mirror
Having turned off all the lights for this picture to get clearer
Heard a scream coming from the other room
She's on her knees, Lord, why is my son a goon?
A coldness rise from his eyes, will it be summer soon?
The last warmth that I remember was in my mother's womb
So now I fumble through a cluttered tomb where my heart used to be
I'm used to who I used to be
This new me is so new to me
Can I prove to be, will I die in this stereotype
Moving to imperial light, prevail the spiritual fight
I'll be buried alive, covered by the leaves of fall
Mirror, mirror, on the wall, who's the most savage of them all?

And there's a monster inside of me
And there's a monster inside of me
And there's a monster inside of me
And there's a monster inside of me

I'm not afraid of the boogieman (There's a monster)
And I'm not afraid of the boogieman
'Cause there's a monster inside of me
