Growing up I was never afraid of the monsters under the bed
They were never as frightening as the monster inside my head
This monster scares me, it struck me with a terrible affliction
The monster I speak of goes by the name addiction
He has been lurking around up there for as long as I can remember
Says to me he will never let go, he will always be the winner
He keeps me down by reminding me of my haunted past
Tells me that nobody could know how I feel, I am an outcast
He knows all of my secrets and he throws them in my face
Says I will never escape his grip, I am such a disgrace
A monster with all the power, says he is the all mighty
He knows just what to say to make me forget about fighting
My bleeding heart tells me that the monster is all wrong
But the monster in my head reminds me that he is so strong
How do I run away from something that is inside my head
Will he chase me to the very end, unitl I am finally dead
If it were not for my family helping me to fight this fight
I am afraid the monster would get me, and kill me with his fright
Moment by moment we have to fight him day by day
Monster, monster will you forever leave me and go away?
