Monster By Sadde Morgan Iron masks and burning lies, Your words can cut through flesh and bone. Don’t understand How you can go through life alone. It seems to me That your mind still isn’t your own. Don’t destroy, All that you create. Filled with prayer and life, All that you’ve learned to hate. Monster, How should I feel? When I see all you don’t reveal? Monster, These wound we can never heal, Those we’ve tried to conceal. I watch her cry inside, And hope to block it all out. A life of lies, Broken glass she could do without. For your sake, You should watch her cry. Hope to god And maybe wish she would die. Monster, How can you say, That everything was always okay? Monster, How can you feel, Everything that you say isn’t real? I see his heart break inside, Every day is always lied. Though the glass he’s tried to assemble, They all hold out and pieces collide. Monster, What should we do? Give way and just thank you? Monster, What can I do? Watch as the waterfall flies, Shattered glass from our old guise. Break down in tears, We all have seen the game. In the end, It’s you that we blame. We once were one and the same, You and I, I remember those days, Sparks did fly, But there was still love, There was still life, We could all see it, Hidden deep was her strife. Monster, How can I stand by? Watch as our time died. Monster, How can I watch? What you did to her, Back to what I refer. I watch you now, In your “peaceful“ design: “Yep, that’s right, Everything’s fine!†Listen to her now, Right by your ear. The mirror‘s reflection, Only become‘s clearer. It wasn’t the end, O’ Monster of mine, I was waiting for you, Hoping you’d decline. Monster, How could you listen? Watch our life crumble, The glass beams and glistens. Monster, How could you believe her? “I will love you, and honor you, respect and cherish you All the days of my life.†And me, Sitting here, Ready to look away, And break down into tears. Watching my life, Pass me by, Almost as if, Through someone else’s eyes. Monster, Don’t you listen? Can’t you believe me When I tell you we’re dieing? Monster, Cry out now, I want to sit here when you finally realize, Monster, You’re not like me, Monster, You can’t control me like you did her. Monster, Everyone’s leaving you. The clarity Of the glass in my hand, Watch as it, Pours out like sand. Like the hourglass, That is your time. You see it now, What I write out in rhyme. You’re going to be alone, Forbidden, Without life. Monster, Don’t you see what you’re doing? Monster, Don’t you know you killing me? Every day I get home, My wounds reopen at the sight of your face, And the antidote, You tried to erase. Luckily, You’re days are numbered. Monster, You’re on your own. I sit in my bed, Music pounding in my ears, Trying to block out the pain, Trying to stop the constant tears. Anger is an issue, Hate is as well, Pity for dreamers, Might as well go to hell. Watch what I say, And hate what I do, Every day remembering, What you put me through. Fear is an object, Fear is a price, But it leads to the goal, Only one toss of the dice. Watch me now, Destroy my life without a care. Pain’s a release, Hating and loving in sudden despair. Clashing colors, Individuality hated, Conformity ignored, All words of wisdom- suddenly sedated. Turn the wheel, Let the blood flow, After all it’s a game, Who would know? Someday that wheel will I finally turn, Get up enough courage to finally try. Maybe to hate, Maybe to die, But in the end what does it matter? In this world of living dead, My reality is naught, My façade I will shed. Break me down, Watch me cry, Replace this fear inside, Life I no longer will defy. My idea was good, It was all there, Until of course, Into the flames I did stare. Watch me now, Don’t run away, I’ve got a story, To tell you today. Life is a game, And you either Loose or give up. I intend to do neither, So watch me rebel, And watch me play With the fire’s of hell. I was really angsty when I worte this but I like it a lot.
