Instrumental Intro
Verse 1
Don't mistake my silence for devotion
Don't mistake my touch for a vow
I won't promise you tomorrow
But you can have me here and now
The door is open
The moon is high
You know exactly what waits
On the other side
Pre-Chorus
I won't hold you when you turn to leave
I won't beg for what you don't believe
But every night when the dark comes calling
You're the one who walks these haunted halls in
Chorus
You can run from the darkness
You can chase the dawn
You can leave this cursed heart
And never look upon it again
But you choose the monster
You reach for the flame
You whisper my name
Though I promise you nothing will change
Post-Chorus
Oh you choose it
Oh you choose it
Verse 2
Your footsteps trail across my floor
No safety waits behind my door
I tell the truth the others hide
I was never the hero at your side
Yet you trace my jaw with trembling hands
Like you understand what no one understands
You pull back your hair let moonlight fall
And offer your throat like you fear nothing at all
Pre-Chorus
No rings to bind you
No vows to keep
No chains around you
No promises to speak
Chorus
You can run from the darkness
You can chase the dawn
You can leave this cursed heart
And never look upon it again
But you choose the monster
You reach for the flame
You whisper my name
Though I promise you nothing will change
Post-Chorus
Oh you choose it
Oh you choose it
Bridge
Then you stand before the mirror
And the glass begins to bleed
There's a stranger wearing your face
With the very same dark needs
You call me your demon
You call me your sin
But look a little closer
I'm the war you're fighting within
Breakdown
I am not your savior
I am not your cure
I cannot promise heaven
I cannot promise more
The door is open
The choice is yours
So tell me darling
What are you waiting for
Final Chorus
You could run from the darkness
You could welcome the sun
You could leave this reflection
And become someone new
But you choose the monster
And the monster is you
Two souls in the shadows
One truth breaking through
No chains could have kept you
No threat made you stay
You chose me in darkness
When you could walk away
Outro
You knew what I was
When you whispered my name
So stay if you want me
Go if you must
But when you look in the mirror
You'll still see us
You
And the monster you trust
