A Creature Among Us

(album: House Of Rats - 2009)

The beast is trudging
Through the darkness
The pictures flashing now
Brighter than a camera lens
Could ever capture
All the sadness
That's lying deep within

My hearts design is shattering
This is my last goodbye
This hate is pouring out from my eyes

Stick your straw into my chest
Suck until there's nothing left
Because I feel so dry
The word family
Sounds more like enemies
I'll take you all to the grave

It's time to face the monster that you have made
My lungs are filled with black and their hate

I see the shadows
Casting under my door
It's getting darker
The lights the only cure
My flashlights fading out
These are the ghosts that haunt
The darkness inside my chest is growing
And it will never be stopped
Before they blacken out both of my eyes

Stick your straw into my chest
Suck until there's nothing left
Because I feel so dry
The word family
Sounds more like enemies
I'll take you all to the grave

It's time to face the monster that you have made
My lungs are filled with black and their hate

I may be hopeless
I know I'm reckless
I may be hopeless
I know I'm reckless
I may just be everything
That you never wanted, wanted, wanted, wanted!

Wanted! OH!

Give me the respect
That I'm fighting for
Give me the respect
That I'm dying for
That I'm dying for
That I'm dying for
