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 



I can't hold back 



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
