Raine Wilder - All the Monsters Lyrics

They're surrounding me, I'm alone out here
While they stare at me, All of my fears
Now I feel them breathing all on my neck
All the monsters deep down I kept
One by one, yes I can hear their steps
Crawling their way out of my skin
It's hard to hide from what's inside
Tried to bury it like it died
But that's not the case
Every day I got another one I got to face
Insecurities that want me to hide
Jealousy that wants me to fight
Vices that don't want to try
Voices that want me to lie
Anger that wants me to scream
Hopelessness that don't want to dream
Monsters with monster claws
It's feeling impossible now to fight them all
Now my hands shake till the bones break
jaws clench till my teeth ache
Stand my ground, plant my flag
10 toes down I won't be swayed
Knives in my back I've been betrayed
Thought my enemies been slayed
Now I've found I've been played
I beat myself at my own game

When all the monsters
They told you about are real
Look no further
They're living right inside of you

Now Iʼm not running scared
I feel my heart in my throat
I can see them there
Circling like smoke
And now I see them coming from every side
Want to live, gotta fight or die
Knuckles cut, but the blood has dried
But man it feels good to be alive
Not everyone would survive
I know the fears that keep you up at night
The haunting thoughts that goes through your mind
The numbing thoughts that can paralyze
Break thru the noise, stand up and fight
It took some guts to open up & address it
Drove me nuts to suppress my depression
Sick of feeling stuck
Had to find me an exit
I ain't lost , I found the answer, no question
