I saw an image in the mirror
Of a face that wasn't mine
In my reflection was a sinner
Of the pure and evil kind
Never thought I'd be a monster
Always let my good side win
But something's creeping in my shadow
Crawling underneath my skin
Oh no
He's still around
I hold my breath
And try to hide
He whispers to me
"Gonna make you cry"
But I won't give up
Gonna stand my ground
So afraid
It's left me blind.
Without a reason of any kind
And those fears that always grind
There's a monster - in my mind!
I'm always hearing a suggestion
From the voice inside my head
Convincing me never to question
To follow its advice instead
Making me become a monster
Making me accept and fold
Scaring me into submission
I'd better do what I'm told
Oh no
He's still around
I hold my breath
And try to hide
He whispers to me
"Gonna make you cry"
But I won't give up
Gonna stand my ground
