There’s a monster inside
A beast that devours all
A victim I am
A soul that he’s caught
I am ashamed
Ashamed to have fallen into this trap
Alone I cower
I shudder
I shake
I weep and I sob
Ashamed of this cage
This cage that I have made for myself
Draperies of pink
Carpets of silk
Painting of gold
This is how I hide my cage
This is how I disguise my tomb
So no one will know
None will suspect
That my house is not a home
My house is my death
But the colors they fade
The windows they crack
How long can I keep up this deceit?
Before the walls start to bleed
Before someone finds out my horrible truth
The glitter and shine
Is only skin deep
The me they know
Is not the me they think they seek
For I have worn a great mask
I have played the great part
But now the walls, this mask
Are falling apart
I try and I try
To put things back in order
But nothing can contain the cracks in this lie
Nothing, save one
Can tame the beast that lives inside
And so I write with tears of blood
That you can see
Can remember
Can feel
That a soul once dwelt here
Behind this mask
In this cage
