I keep a creature inside It comes alive when I speak So I keep the tip of my tongue Against the back of my teeth I'd like to say that I know I've got it under control But it just keeps pushing and pulling and pressuring me
And clawing at the walls of my insides This animosity I try to hide That I'm afraid for you to see The thought just haunts me in my sleep And I can feel it taking over me I close my eyes, embrace defeat As it reminds me the truth at hand Is what I know for sure You made the man and I made the monster
I live the life of a wolf The masquerade is a sheep But I sewed my heart to my sleeve To make me easy to read Now that you know you're my prey I pray you just stay away Now that you know that this is a warning
And clawing at the walls of my insides This animosity I try to hide That I'm afraid for you to see The thought just haunts me in my sleep And I can feel it taking over me I close my eyes, embrace defeat As it reminds me the truth at hand Is what I know for sure You made the man and I made the monster
So tell me which man to be Because I can't decide Jekyl with his sanity Or the creature that he keeps inside A friend to my enemies is not a friend of mine The only choice that I have is to burry it deep to Hyde
And clawing at the walls of my insides This animosity I try to hide That I'm afraid for you to see The thought just haunts me in my sleep And I can feel it taking over me I close my eyes, embrace defeat As it reminds me the truth at hand Is what I know for sure You made the man and I made the monster
