Deep in the shadows I'm fighting a battle The creature wants me screaming, screaming I think I'm losing, tired of choosing, I'm slipping down I can't stop screaming, screaming I'm living a lie, there's a creature hiding inside of me Black as the night with a cold dead heart and a lust for sin So I shut it out, I bottle up, I hide it from the world If I let it out I don't know what I'll do There's a creature inside of you too I can't just turn to the menace I've clung to The creature wants me screaming, screaming I can't determine, I'm sure that it's hell bent on breaking out and Hearing you screaming, screaming I'm living a lie, there's a creature hiding inside of me Black as the night with a cold dead heart and a lust for sin So I shut it out, I bottle up, I hide it from the world If I let it out I don't know what I'll do There's a creature inside of you too So I shut it out, I bottle up, I hide it from the world If I let it out I don't know what I'll do There's a creature inside of you too I can't hold back I can't hold back I can't hold back So I shut it out, I bottle up, I hide it from you If I let it out I don't know what I'll do There's a creature inside of you too So I shut it out, I bottle up, I hide it from the world If I let it out I don't know what I'll do There's a creature inside of you too
