[Jelly Roll, Struggle Jennings - Monster lyrics]
Livin' my life in a fucked up haze
I know I should pray
Repent every day, and God is the way
But I feel as if there is too much to say
I made friends with the dragon
That sit's at my window
What I'm sippin' is different
And you probably
Could tell that by the tempo
Livin' it fast as the days go by
I see the fire that glows in the sky
I seen it all and I swear I won't lie
The lions and tigers and bears, oh my
Feel the vibration from knocks on the door
Pull out my Harley, to drop on the floor
Drifted away and waltz to the shore
Then I demanded to talk to the law
And there's a monster inside of me
And there's a monster inside of me
And there's a monster inside of me
And there's a monster inside of me
I'm not afraid of the boogieman
(there's a monster)
And I'm not afraid of the boogieman
'Cause there's a monster inside of me
I told my daughters not to fear the monsters
Daddy is the boogieman
It was written, no truth hidden
Real deal, hooligan not sure if me and my
Reflection never be cool again
'Cause the man in the mirror
Now fears a foolish sin
On the swings at Satan's playground I'd
Try to touch the sky
Humbled by the fall and the
Fact I'd never die
Staring in the eyes of defeat, cry me a river
Had a drink with the devil
He offered to buy me dinner
Circle gettin' thinner, graveyard thicken
See them crews, used to eat now they
Fightin' for slim pickings
Greed is a sickness, loyalty is rare
When you're aware of your own enemies
The playin' field is fair
I stare dead across that line if what
I want's on the other side
Others hide from the truth while
I run to it blind
Two guns blazing out the days
And I ain't goin' back
My spirit and my soul is at war, under attack
And there's a monster inside of me
And there's a monster inside of me
And there's a monster inside of me
And there's a monster inside of me
I'm not afraid of the boogieman
(there's a monster)
And I'm not afraid of the boogieman
'Cause there's a monster inside of me
I'm starin' at the glare of
The monster in the mirror
Had turned off all the lights for
This picture to get clearer
Heard a scream comin' from the other room
She's on her knees, Lord, why's my son a goon
A coldness rise from his eyes
Will it be summer soon
The last warmth that I remember
Was in my mother's womb
So now from the dewy, cluttered tomb
Where my heart used to be
I'm used to who I used to be
This new me is so new to me
Can I prove to be
Will I die in this stereotype
Movin' to imperial light
Prevail the spiritual fight
I'll be buried alive
Covered by the leaves of fall
Mirror, mirror, on the wall
Who's the most savage of them all?
And there's a monster inside of me
And there's a monster inside of me
And there's a monster inside of me
And there's a monster inside of me
I'm not afraid of the boogieman
(there's a monster)
And I'm not afraid of the boogieman
'Cause there's a monster inside of me
